Really great tour. Some things to know that others may not have mentioned - the minibus is small, and sort of cramped. You really don’t need to bring a big rucksack here - just a very small one with a towel and a swimsuit, and some water. Most people had their rucksacks on their knees or in between their legs. Roberto drives safely and not too fast on the curves which is good for those with travel sickness - most of the roads are just long straight roads with gentle curves. The tomato place is very expensive - you’ll pay 25 euros for a refillable soup, but it is a nice experience. The first two parts of the tour are a little boring (subjective) but from the Geyser onwards it’s great! Also Roberto tends to talk more during the beginning, and by the end it’s a quieter way back 1h 20m return). I would recommend this as a chill tour with not too much walking and worth it if it’s your first time in Iceland.
What an excellent day! The golden circle stops were beautiful and well timed. The tomato greenhouse was everything I had hoped for. Not only was a table waiting for us for lunch but we were a small group and we got to sit together. The meal was fantastic and service from wait staff was excellent including a brief explanation of the greenhouse operation. The Secret Lagoon was great. Locks were provided and everything well planned out. It was an amazing day from start to end. I highly recommend if short on time, this day tour covers a lot. A big thanks to Amir who helped make the day go smoothly. April 2025

Stunning Sights & Unique Stops
We start by leaving Reykjavik and passing by Hellisheiðavirkjun, Iceland’s largest geothermal power station. Our first stop is Þingvellir National Park.

Þingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is not just home to Iceland’s first parliament, but also lets you walk between two continents. A historic and geographic marvel, it's a must-see for any traveler.
Geysir Geothermal Area
At Geysir, Strokkur takes center stage, erupting every few minutes. Be ready with your camera to capture this impressive and fun natural wonder.
