This classic sightseeing tour, known as the ‘Golden Circle’, showcases the most spectacular scenery in Iceland as well as the continent’s important historic sites.
Discover lovely The Þingvellir National Park – full of natural beauty and historic interest. The Mid - Atlantic Ridge – the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates is clearly visible here. Gaze with awe at the line where Iceland is slowly being pulled apart as North America veers west and Eurasia moves east.
Visit the birth place of the Icelandic parliament, the site of the world’s oldest national assembly at Thingveller’s plains. Take in sprouting springs of Geysir, the epic water jets are so well known that they’ve lent their name to all the hot springs of the world. The stop at Geysir will be around 60 minutes.
Visit the geothermal area around the incredible spouting hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur. See the world-famous Geysir Geothermal Area in the Haukadalur Valley. The name comes from this place – Geysir which means “to gush” in Icelandic.
Continue to the beautiful waterfall Gullfoss ('Golden Waterfall'), Walks at the waterfalls edge are particularly magical, allowing you to feel the mist of the glacial water on your face. Gullfoss is a sensational sight, with many viewing platforms to experience it at different levels. We’ll stop for lunch at the excellent Gullfoss Café.

Great tour, picked up right on time on small shuttle at designated stop. We got transfer to a larger bus and tour group size was about 50 people. Guide was in English & gave interesting information about Iceland along the road trip. Our group had about 1 to 2 hours of walking around each site by ourselves to explore the waterfall, geyser, lunch, etc. They dropped us at the end of tour where ever we wanted in Reykjavik. Will recommend this to any of my friends.
