Join me for a memorable experience exploring Iceland’s famous Golden Circle—designed especially for travellers who prefer a comfortable pace and a more authentic experience. We begin our day at Þingvellir National Park, a place of extraordinary geological & historical importance where you'll get to walk between the continents and enjoy the natural scenery. Next stop is to marvel at the sight of Gulfoss waterfall where you can stand in the spray of one of Europe's most spectacular sights - think of a Mini Niagara Falls.) followed by experiencing the energy of the Geysir geothermal area where you can watch the geyser erupt every few minutes. We then keep warm by enjoying a special lunch inside the Fridheimer Greenhouse Farm where you'll have some of the best soups you've tasted in a cosy greenhouse atmosphere - its a real treat. Throughout the journey, you’ll enjoy views of Iceland’s glaciers and volcanoes, and I’ll take you to a few quieter, 'HIDDEN GEMS' that most visitors never see.
Steve was waiting for us as we disembarked in Iceland. He gave us an incredible tour of the highlights of Iceland including the Golden circle. Both of us and our luggage fit comfortably in his car and Steve’s presentation on Iceland and its sights was great. We highly recommend him and his services.

We had great fun with Steve for the day. He was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and personable as well. We talked about a wide range of things and he was very engaging and gave great perspective. Would definitely book him again
Steve is very knowledgeable and very personable and friendly . Had great conversations about Iceland, its history and current status. He knows the best places to stop at the busy viewing sites.
Steve was an excellent guide. We only had 1 day to see Iceland and it was well-worth the money to take a private tour. Our family enjoyed his company and his insights. He took us around to awesome places & we had a wonderful time. He was especially great with our college-aged kids. He also took amazing photos for us. We highly recommend this tour.
Steve provided an excellent tour. He was friendly and informative, and customized the tour to meet our requirements. I highly recommend Steve for a tour in Iceland.
