Itinerary
Meet your guide and group in central Reykjavik, board the climate-controlled coach, and embark on the Golden Circle tour of Iceland's most remarkable natural landmarks. Along the way, learn about the history, ecology, and geology of the area from your local guide.
Stop at the Geysir geothermal area, home to the Strokkur geyser, which erupts with a 98-foot (30-meter) column of boiling water every few minutes. Continue to Gullfoss, one of Iceland's most impressive waterfalls, where the Hvítá River cascades into a 105-foot (32-meter) crevasse.
In Thingvellir National Park (Þingvellir), see the fields of verdant moss and the gash in the earth where the Eurasian and American tectonic plates are pulling apart.
Visit the Friðheimar greenhouse, where organic produce is grown using the power of the earth's geothermal heat. Learn about the growing process and taste some of the fruits of the farmers' labor.

Great way to spend a day out in Iceland. Bus was on time tour guide was excellent very informative. Loads of time to explore each stop.

This was a huge bus, and I wished that I had booked with a smaller group. Despite that, it was a great tour. Guide Maryanne was great, very informative and made sure we kept to schedule. Though the weather wasn't great, everything was beautiful and worth seeing. The tomato soup at the greenhouse was excellent!

Thank you for sharing your experience! While we understand that a smaller group can sometimes feel more personal, we’re glad to hear you still had a great tour overall. It’s wonderful to know that Maryanne’s informative guidance and time management helped make the day enjoyable, and that even with challenging weather, the sights were still worth it. We’re also happy you enjoyed the tomato soup at the greenhouse—it’s a guest favorite!

I wish we had a little more time at the tomato farm and we could have done with less time at both the waterfall and Thingvellir as neither location was a long walk. There’s an option to walk farther at Thingvellir but it was the last stop and we were a bit tired at that point.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Jane,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry that the timing at the stops didn’t quite match your expectations. We appreciate your thoughts about spending more time at the tomato farm and less at the waterfall and Thingvellir. Your input is very helpful and will guide us in making the experience even better for future guests.
Best regards
