Overview
Discover the wonders of Iceland's Golden Circle on this unforgettable tour. Join us as we uncover the wonders of this iconic route, from majestic waterfalls to geothermal marvels and charming local farms. Feast on scenic stops at Thingvellir National Park, where Iceland’s parliament was founded in 930 A.D. and holds the meeting of the tectonic plates. The Geysir geothermal area is quite stunning where you witness the geyser Strokkur erupt every five minutes and the thundering Gullfoss waterfall tops many lists as a powerful natural phenomenon. To top it off we take a hike to Bruarfoss and Faxi waterfalls. We put the full emphasis on nature and culture as we tell stories when we ease through the surroundings in a small group. The tour is operated in a minibus and we focus on not exceeding 19 people. This way the guide can connect to all passengers and a much nicer vibe is created during the day. The Golden Circle is Iceland’s most popular route and it is not by any coincidence. The route lies not so far from the capital and easily offers a variety of natural scenery to explore as well as many stories from the settlement to our times.
