About this activity

Explore Iceland's most iconic Golden Circle route—Þingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss waterfall—with a local guide who grew up in the region and brings intimate knowledge of the landscape. This 11-hour private tour weaves in authentic Icelandic food tastings, from geothermal rye bread to locally grown tomatoes and artisanal ice cream, creating a hybrid nature and culinary experience.

This tour includes all the classical stops usually made on the so called Golden Circle Tour and more.

Your guide will be a local person who partly grew up in the Golden Circle area and can therefore share with you how it was to grow up there as well as pointing out interesting facts and stories.

The tour also offers some delicious traditional food and tasting of local made ice cream, rye bread and tomatoes.

This tour combines beautiful nature and local food tasting guided by a local certified guide from Reykjavík in a comfortable vehicle.
