What's included in the EUR 865 price?

Private vehicle, local certified guide, entry to all natural sites (Geysir, Gullfoss, Þingvellir, Kerið, Faxi), and farm visit with ice cream tasting. Confirm whether lunch is included at booking.

How many people can join a private tour?

Tours are private, meaning your group travels alone with the guide. Group size typically ranges from 1–8 passengers; verify capacity when booking.

Is the pace slow enough for photography?

Yes—the itinerary includes carefully selected photo stops along the route. Your guide will position you for the best shots and can adjust timing if you need extra time at particular locations.

Do we need hiking experience to visit these sites?

No. All Golden Circle sites are accessible via short, easy walks. Kerið crater involves some descent, but no technical climbing is required.

What happens if weather is bad?

Iceland's weather is unpredictable, but tours run year-round. Your guide will adjust timing and ensure safe viewing. Bring waterproof layers and trust their local judgment.

Can the tour be customized or extended?

As a private tour, customization is often possible. Discuss preferences with the operator before booking—extensions and alternative stops may incur additional fees.

About this activity

Explore Iceland's most iconic natural landmarks on a privately guided 7-hour day trip from Reykjavik, visiting geysers, waterfalls, and volcanic craters with a local expert who knows the hidden stories behind each site.

In this private tour you will be driving in a comfortable vehicle to natural treasures with a local guide.

Geysir hot spring area, Gullfoss waterfall, Þingvellir National Park, Kerið volcanic crater and Faxi waterfall.

When you visit those places on a day trip the locals always talk about it as the Golden Circle.

Extra photo stops are made at carefully selected locations along the way. Farm visit with the possibility of trying ice cream made on the farm is also on the itinerary.

This tour is guided by a local certified guide who partly grew up in this area so if you want some inside stories and see those sights through the eyes of a local this tour might be the one for you.

our guide Priya really knew their stuff and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and ran the full 4 hours promised, no joke
