Golden Circle Express. Half-Day Private Tour

The Golden Circle Express Tour is perfect for those pressed for time but still want to visit some of Iceland’s most popular attractions. The Express Tour includes highlights of the famous Golden Circle, such as Thingvellir National Park, where the Icelandic Parliament was founded in 930 AD, and the rift between the American and Eurasian tectonic plates. We’ll visit Gullfoss Waterfall to enjoy the sound of falling water and the power of the falls. We’ll then stop at Geysir Valley to see Strokkur erupt, observe the area’s smaller hot springs, and feel the energy of Iceland’s natural environment. Highlights: • Perfect introduction to Iceland for the first time visitor • Visit some of the most popular destinations throughout the day • Hassle-free round-trip transfer from your accommodation in Reykjavik
