Description

Discover the best of Iceland’s iconic Golden Circle on an exclusive 9.5-hour private tour, perfect for solo travelers or groups of up to eight. This comprehensive tour offers the ideal mix of natural wonders, unique experiences, and professional photos to remember your journey.

Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from your chosen location in Reykjavik or neighboring areas. Whether staying at a hotel, arriving at Reykjavik port, or landing at Keflavik Airport, your professional driver-guide will meet you and ensure a smooth start to your day. 

From your pick-up location, you’ll travel comfortably in a spacious van designed to accommodate up to eight passengers. It has free Wi-Fi, snacks, bottled water, and hot tea.

With a private tour, you’re assured of a more personalized service and a more flexible itinerary. You’ll enjoy the dedicated attention of your English-speaking guide, who will enrich your trip with engaging stories and exciting information about your destinations.

The Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the first stop on your Golden Circle tour. Here, you’ll walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates through the Almannagja gorge. The park is also the site of Iceland's ancient parliament, Althing, established in 930 AD, where you can glimpse the country’s history.

Next, you’ll visit the Geysir geothermal area, home to the famous Strokkur geyser. Strokkur is a powerful geyser which erupts with boiling water every 5 to 10 minutes. Besides geysers, Geysir boasts a dynamic landscape filled with bubbling hot springs and steaming vents.

A unique stop on the itinerary is the Bru horse farm, where you can take photos with the iconic Icelandic horses. These friendly and photogenic horses are known for their unique gait and sturdy build, making them a beloved symbol of Iceland.

The tour continues to the majestic Gullfoss waterfall, Iceland’s most famous waterfall. On a sunny day, rainbows are commonly seen above the waterfall’s two-tiered cascade with a height of 105 feet (32 meters). The area has many viewing decks to enjoy the flowing water and take photos.

Next, you’ll visit the Fridheimar tomato farm, where you’ll learn about Icelandic greenhouse farming techniques and enjoy a unique culinary experience. The farm is renowned for its fresh and delicious tomatoes, grown using geothermal energy. For an added cost, you can sample their tomato-based products in a warm, inviting greenhouse setting.

The final stop on your tour is the Kerid crater, a volcanic crater lake with vibrant red and green slopes. Depending on the season, you’ll either see its lake frozen or surrounded by green mosses. 

Throughout the tour, your guide will capture professional photos of your group, providing you with beautiful souvenirs of your Icelandic adventure. 

Following an unforgettable time exploring the Golden Circle, the guide will drop you off at your desired location in Reykjavik or the airport.
