The guide was excellent and full of information! The waterfalls were absolutely amazing! The landscape was beautiful and the history by our guide was very useful. It’s a tour that every visitor to Iceland needs to take on their vacations. We enjoyed the day and Iceland!

Really enjoyed this trip! Van was at the port waiting for us when we got off our ship. Guide was friendly and fun, he also made sure to park close to the sites or in spots that had walking downhill vs uphill as some people on the trip had more limited mobility. Iceland is beautiful and this was a great way to explore the top sites with limited time. We even got to do a few extra things that weren’t on the itinerary like stop for ice cream/snacks, visit a geothermal beach, pet the Icelandic horses, and stop for a drink at the geothermal tomato farm and the volcanic crater. Got back to the ship on time. Would recommend for a shore excursion!

Full description

The Golden Circle is a must do experience in Iceland. This shore excursion takes you to the three most visited natural nature attractions in the southern part of Iceland, Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Thingvellir National Park.

This small group Golden Circle Tour starts with a pickup at Reykjavik port. The departure time is adjusted to your cruise ship arrival time so you will get the most of your time in Iceland. The shore excursion combines fragile nature, Iceland's saga and heritage, and powerful geothermal wonders. Experience some of the highlights in Iceland when you drive along glacial rivers and beautiful landscapes.

Take your time to observe the lesser mention but still beautiful places and cultural treasures. If conditions allow, make a stop on the way to admire some of the famously friendly Icelandic horses. The tour guides are local experts that know the area like the back of their hands and are storytellers at heart. As this is a small group tour, be assured that the tour guide has time for all your questions.

AMAZING tour! Golden Circle tour with Jagoda Rogalska our guide, was fabulous! One of the best excursion ever, and we take dozens a year in our travels. She was enthusiastic, informative and got us in and out of the stops fast, all our group was on time at stops so she managed to get in 2 extra stops for all of us. We went to the “volcano bakery” where they bury the bread in steaming volcanic vents and also made a quick stop of the famous church in Keykjavik. She is a super guide and with the good weather we had an amazing day. Tour company is lucky to have her, and so were we that day!! 5 STARplus!
