On this tour, we will guide you to the stunning Gullfoss Waterfall, the impressive Geysir, the charming Efstidalur dairy farm, and the picturesque Thingvellir National Park, where we will also visit the breathtaking Öxararfoss waterfall.

5.00What a fantastic time with the best guide! Goncalo C. gave us a wonderful day and when I accidentally left my bag behind, he went out of his way to retrieve it and brought it back to me at the end of the day.
Very interesting

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

5.00We loved our Golden Circle tour with Carlos. Carlos was so informative and as a newer Iceland resident, it was so interesting to hear his perspective. We loved the geyser, the golden falls, the crater, the tectonic plates, the tomato farm, and the ice cream farm. I’d highly recommend this tour.
Simon is great!

5.00Gonzolo is the perfect tour guide! Besides being friendly and knowledgeable, he let us know what to expect every step of the way. Speaking of steps, I notice that he was the only tour guide who provided a step stool for easy access to the van. The tour itself was wonderful and an overall fabulous experience. We got to take our time and never felt rushed, but we all came back to the van early enough to earn two quick detours, one of which was to give treats to three fluffy Icelandic horses. This was the most fun day I've had in ages!

5.00We had an amazing day and saw many different things from waterfalls to geysers to the tomato farm where we had an incredible lunch. Even visited can core cream farm with the creamiest ice cream I’ve ever had. It was a full day and Golonzo our guide was wonderfully informative, friendly and funny. A very smart guy. Well worth the money. We would do it again.
