5.00Wow! From the moment Simon ( aka Spicy Viking) opened the tour bus doors we knew an adventure was in store. Informative, witty and full of fun facts it was a great balance. First stop was Thingvellir National Park A UNESCO World Heritage Site where the North American and Eurasian plates pull apart, creating cliffs, fissures, and a landscape that looks like the earth is splitting open. It’s also the site of Iceland’s first parliament. We got to see Geysir Geothermal Area Home to Strokkur, the geyser that erupts every few minutes — a reliable, dramatic burst of steam and boiling water. The area is full of bubbling mud pots and mineral‑rich pools. Gullfoss Waterfall was breathtaking The “Golden Falls” that give the route its name — a two‑tiered, roaring canyon waterfall that feels mythic in any weather.
An easy trip with lots to experance.

5.00I took the tour with Gonzalo, and it was truly enjoyable. He not only explained the places on the tour, but also constantly shared information about the different points of interest along the way, as well as the history and culture of the area. The places on the tour are beautiful; I personally loved Gullfoss Waterfall.
Great Golden Circle experience
