Itinerary

This is a typical itinerary for Golden Circle Classic Day Trip From Reykjavik -

Stop At: Thingvellir National Park, Thingvellir, South Region

Learn about some of the thrilling and somewhat gruesome history of Iceland at Thingvellir National Park. Its significance is so great that it is a designated UNESCO world heritage site. You will walk the grounds where Icelandic democracy began and visit sites where Viking-era justice was carried out including the Drowning Pool and the Gallows Rock. Thingvellir is also the place where two tectonic plates are gradually separating creating a gorgeous landscape of steep cliffs and broad fields featuring Thingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Geysir Hot Springs, Geysir, South Region

The Great Geysir, the first of its name, resides in Haukadalur in the Geysir Geothermal Area. The entire area is bubbling with geothermal activity from steam vents to boiling mud pits and the real stars of the geothermal show, the geysers. 

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Strokkur, Geysir, South Region

While the Great Geysir erupts only occasionally these days, the last time being in 2016, nearby geyser Strokkur erupts regularly delighting onlookers by shooting hot water high into the air every few minutes.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Gullfoss, Blaskogabyggd, South Region

The most popular waterfall in Iceland is, without a doubt, Gullfoss (the golden falls). Hearing the roar of the Hvita River as it plunges 32 meters over two tiers into the gorge below is exhilarating. On sunny days, rainbows are abundant in the mist rising from the falls and there are several paths available around the waterfall including one leading down to its bottom so come equipped with your raincoat and have your camera at the ready.

Duration: 1 hour

    Well, scenery was the best but the guide, driver and the comfortable bus made it all easy - despite lots of hours driving

    Experienced the golden circle tour with Darren as our tour guide yesterday. He was informative, friendly, funny and easy going. Couldn’t,t have asked for a better host and driver. The scenery was amazing and we were lucky enough to have sun and blue skies the whole day.

    The tour guide was very entertaining and informative, he made the trip very enjoyable! Coach was very clean and comfortable. Locations were incredible, we also even stopped for 10 minutes to look at Icelandic horses to take photos with! We had a good hour at each destination to explore for ourselves. We were very punctual with leaving on time without delays. We felt like we left the tour knowing more about Iceland. 100% worth the money! Thank you!

    Good experience, recommended. Excellent communication, hassle-free pickup. We went on the Golden Circle Grey Line coach tour with Ule (driver) and Esther (guide) - very informative, good sense of humour. The commentary added so much to what we were seeing. We had been a bit apprehensive as we don't usually like this type of excursion but it was well planned and carried out. The coach was very comfortable, stops had visitor centres with toilets shops and food outlets, pacing was very good with enough time to see the sites and use the facilities. Prices at the outlets were expensive even by Iceland standards, especially food - but that's not down to the tour organisers. We took in Thingvellir National Park, Strokkur and Gullfoss - all spectacular. Even the views from the coach while driving were stunning. If you go in winter, dress accordingly - you might only be out of the coach for an hour at each stop but even 10 minutes in -17C /1.4F will have you running for the coffee shop.

    The winter conditions prevented us from seeing one of the three sites. However, we made it to the geyser and the waterfall. The waterfall was our favourite. Darren was our guide and he did a great job entertaining us with history, facts and folklore stories. Shoe grips were helpful navigating the icy paths to and from the sites.

    While the company cannot be blamed for the cold and windy weather, the guide and drop-off system are in its control. Though our guide did talk a bit, his delivery was dead pan, and with five hours on the bus he didn't cover a lot of things that would have made the journey more interesting. I would have enjoyed more history, geology, geography, and maybe a little politics related to the parks. For example, the first parliament took place in one park, but we heard nary a word about it. Instead of dropping us off at our original pick-up stops, they combined us to drop us off near three of them. In any case, in the winter, I highly recommend taking the 10am tour because the noon tour must return in the dark through no fault of the company.

    Everything went very well.. the trip was well planned.The tour guide was funny and informative...Plenty of time to have fun and take pictures of each spot...

    Our tour was cancelled due to snow. They were able to quickly reschedule it for later in the week. The bus picked us up right on time at our hotel and took us to a larger bus. Our tour guide kept us entertained with information and personal stories the whole time. It was extremely cold the day we went. We literally ran to the falls, took a picture and ran inside to warm up. Each stop had a bathroom, gift shops, and something to eat. The geysir wasn't as windy and we were able to stand out there long enough to get some great pictures and see it spout a few times. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Terrible!!!! Bus driver never showed up and VIATOR doesn’t want to refund me. Waited in the cold of Reykjavík. Woke up early to receive no tour and no money back.
