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.
