Discover some of the best sites in Iceland on the the Golden Circle Tour, in the company of a professional guide who will tell you all you need to know about the area's history, culture and nature. Leave the city behind and get into the history of Iceland at Thingvellir National Park, witness the powerful beauty of a multi-tiered waterfall at Gullfoss and walk among bubbling geothermal pools at Geysir Geothermal Area.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. {
Get into the history of Iceland at Thingvellir National Park, witness the powerful beauty of a multi-tiered waterfall at Gullfoss and walk among bubbling geothermal pools at Geysir Geothermal Area.
2. {
Learn about some of the thrilling and somewhat gruesome history of Iceland at Thingvellir National Park. It’s significance is so great that it is a designated UNESCO world heritage site. You’ll walk the grounds where Icelandic democracy began and visit sites where Viking-era justice was carried out including the Drowning Pool and the Gallows Rock. Thingvellir is also the place where two tectonic plates are gradually separating creating a gorgeous landscape of steep cliffs and broad fields featuring Thingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.
3. {
The Great Geysir, the first of its name, resides in Haukadalur in the Geysir Geothermal Area. The entire area is bubbling with geothermal activity from steam vents to boiling mud pits and the real stars of the geothermal show, the geysers. All other geysers, the world over, are named for Geysir.
4. {
While the Great Geysir erupts only occasionally these days, the last time being in 2016, nearby geyser Strokkur erupts regularly delighting onlookers by shooting hot water high into the air every few minutes.
5. {
The most popular waterfall in Iceland is, without a doubt, Gullfoss (the golden falls). And that is saying quite a lot in a country that is home to thousands of waterfalls. Gullfoss is also considered by many to be one of the most beautiful in Iceland and it is certainly one of the largest. Hearing the roar of the Hvita River as it plunges 32 meters over two tiers into the gorge below is exhilarating. On sunny days, rainbows are abundant in the mist rising from the falls and there are several paths available around the waterfall including one leading down to its bottom so come equipped with your raincoat and have your camera at the ready.

Our delightful and knowledgable guide (Karin) made for a great trip
We were really impressed by the geyser!!!
The timing of the stops was perfect including that we always seemed to get everywhere right before 10 other buses pulled up!

Our bus tour started at noon. We got on the bus at the Reykjavik Terminal Bus Hostel. This was a large tour bus, we we were not filled to capacity. It was a nice amount of people. Our guide was Roman. Our bus driver was Greg. . And Greg did a great job as bus driver. We made several stops on our tour. Roman was a wonderful guide, and a great storyteller. Very engaging. Both Roman and Greg seemed like they really enjoyed their jobs. It was fun to do the tour with them. We had a great day with them. Our long day tour went by quite fast. I would do this tour again.

The waterfall was definitely the highlight of the tour. The geyser was relatively unimpressive. The national park was very informative and we enjoyed it.
