Golden Circle of Iceland. Day Tour From Reykjavik

The Golden Circle is Iceland’s most popular route. It combines historical and geological attractions and is recommended for first-time visitors. It introduces you to Iceland’s most famous natural attractions, such as Thingvellir National Park, the geothermally active Haukadalur valley with the geysers Geysir and Strokkur, and one of the country’s symbols, the Gullfoss waterfall. Another stop along the way is the Kerid crater. We also have lunch at the Fridheimar tomato greenhouse. Highlights: • The perfect introduction to Iceland for first-time visitors • Visit some of the most popular sites in a day • Customizable tour upon your group's request
