    All good. Coach comfortable and well-provided. Guide very knowledgeable and engaging, and firmly clear on wearing seat belts and timekeeping. Enough time at each location and information about amenities. Hardly need to describe the locations themselves, you will have researched. Only prob: the need to be ready for pick-up half an hour before the stated departure time should be shown no less prominently than the departure time itself, not buried in 'More information'. Pls get on this.

Spontaneously erupting hot springs at Geysir, the Gullfoss Waterfall, Thingvellir National Park... Discover the incredible natural landscapes of Iceland on this complete tour of the famous Golden Circle

Spontaneously erupting hot springs at Geysir, the Gullfoss Waterfall, Thingvellir National Park... Discover the incredible natural landscapes of Iceland on this complete tour of the famous Golden Circle

Golden Circle Tour Itinerary

On the day of your tour, meet your guide at the central meeting point in Rekyjavik, ready to begin your tour of the Golden Circle, a region of southern Iceland famous for its numerous spectacular natural sights.

You'll head east in the direction of Geysir. As the name suggests, this area is home to extensive geothermal activity and a number of geysers. Amongst steaming hot springs, you'll discover Strokkur, one of the most famous geysers in Iceland, which launches a 15 to 20 metre-tall (49 to 66 foot) column of boiling water into the air every 10 minutes... don't get too close!

Continue on your route around the Golden Circle to Gullfoss Waterfall, a large cascade that plunges to a depth of more than 30 metres (over 100 feet). Strolling alongside the waterfall, you'll feel the cool breeze rising off the water as you admire one of Iceland's most stunning scenes. After exploring Gullfoss, you'll take a break for lunch (not included).

With recharged batteries, you'll head to your next stop, Thingvellir National Park, which has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. As well as being an incredible natural space, Thingvellir was the location of Icelandic parliament between 930 and 1798. You'll see Thingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland, at the location where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates join.

After enjoying free time to discover this impressive volcanic landscape at your own pace, you'll make the return journey to Reykjavik.
