About This Tour
The Golden Circle is Iceland's most iconic and beloved route, offering an unforgettable journey through the country's geological and historical wonders. This private tour takes you to three extraordinary locations that showcase the diverse beauty of Iceland.
Starting from Reykjavík, you'll travel through stunning landscapes to Þingvellir National Park, where you can walk between two continental plates. Then witness the powerful Geysir geothermal area, home to the famous Strokkur geyser that erupts every few minutes. Finally, stand in awe before Gullfoss, one of Europe's most powerful waterfalls.
What to Expect
