Hi there, My name is Julien and I have been guiding tours all over Iceland since 2019. I offer different kinds of tours, from hiking to family-friendly sightseeing tours, but what I like the most are the personalized tours: I love to connect with my clients beforehand to give them exactly the experience that is right for them. This is why after a few years of guiding groups I decided to specialize in private tours, and particularly tailor-made ones. I have two vehicles ready for you, one is a high end van that can accommodate up to 6 adults comfortably, which is only suitable for paved roads. The other one is a modified LandCruiser, extremely spacious and comfortable for up to 4 adults, which is your best companion for adventurous journeys in the Icelandic Highlands. I am a fully licensed tour operator and my vehicles have all the authorizations required for commercial use. - Wilderness First Responder (Advanced first aid Training) - Commercial driving licenses - Day Tour Operator license I am not allowed to sell package tours that include accomodation.

Discover the Golden Circle's highlights, with farm visits
Overview of your Reykjavik tour
The Golden Circle is probably the best day tour one can do from Reykjavík. And it is one of my favorites because, as a guide, I can speak about so many different topics in just one day. On this Golden Circle and farm visits tour, you can learn about Icelandic history, nature, and culture. We can talk about glaciers and volcanoes, geothermal power and its different applications, and much more. Besides the classic sightseeing, we will visit two farms. Both of them are very different, one is a tomato farm and the other one is a dairy farm. We will enjoy a delicious ice cream, and have lunch inside of a greenhouse. This is a tour that never disappoints and a wonderful introduction to Iceland, to the diversity of its landscapes and its fascinating past.
Your Reykjavik tour itinerary
·The tour will start with a pick-up from your lodging. Our fist stop will be the National Park Of Thingvellir, a place of interest, both for natural and historical reasons. This is where was founded the first parliament of Europe in 930, and this is where you can see the edge of the North American tectonic plate. Our second stop will be at the hot spring of Laugarvatn. The underground heat is used by the inhabitants for a very particular purpose. (surprise!) We will then go to the dairy farm of EfstiDalur, to enjoy a delicious homemade ice cream. The best in Iceland. Our next stop will be the geyser of Strokkur, bursting every 5 to 10 minutes, followed by the huge and magnificent waterfall of Gullfoss. Finally, we will have our lunch at the tomato farm of Friðheimar. We will eat inside of their greenhouses and learn how we manage to grow tomatoes all year long, thanks to the power of Geothermia.
