Overview of your Reykjavik tour
This is absolutely the must do tour when in Iceland! The route is steeped in history, geology, geography and scenic beauty. You won't regret hiring me to show you around this amazing route in comfort and style. Gullfoss waterfall is the most iconic waterfall in the country for a good reason, Strokkur spouting spring is one of very few spouting springs in the world, and Thingvellir national park is on the UNESCO world heritage site list because of its Viking Age-heritage. It is also the place of the rift valley between two continents, i. e. the American and the Eurasian.
Your Reykjavik tour itinerary
Depart Reykjavik for the Golden circle route. Visit Thingvellir national park the site of the ancient Viking-Age parliament and rift valley between two continents. Then head over to Gullfoss (Golden waterfall) the most iconic waterfall in the country before visiting the Geysir geothermal area and Strokkur spouting spring. Bathrooms and refreshments available in various places along this route. This is a tried and tested route and never disappoints. Having a guide like myself at your side will make your experience along this route so much better. The Golden circle tour is a relatively short but rewarding day tour. If you'd like to extend it to include airport transfer, Blue lagoon visit, city tour or even the south coast of Iceland in one day - Please ask. In summer - to avoid the crowds - recommended starting time is at 7 am (morning), or 2 pm (afternoon). Evenings are great too! In winter - recommended starting time is 8 am, or 9 am, depending on which month you travel.
