The 15 Best Golden Circle Tours from Reykjavik

56 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $73

Thingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss sit inside a single loop, which is why almost every visitor does it and why there are so many versions on sale. These 15 differ on pickup time, group size and what gets bolted on at the end, from a hot spring to a snowmobile on Langjokull.

“Rakal the tour guide is amazingly knowledgeable, makes you feel so welcomed and like you've known her for years. The secret lagoon is the perfect way to end such a fabulous day seeing all of the beauties the Golden Circle tour offers. The small group makes the trip feel personal and intimate rather than being on a full bus load of tourists. Would highly recommend.”

Explore Iceland’s Golden Circle, Kerid Crater, Gullfoss, Strokkur, Thingvellir, and the Secret Lagoon on a full-day coach tour from Reykjavik.

“The stops were beautiful, we were really lucky with the weather so this certainly helped. We had only 20 minutes at the first stop (crater) but then 45mins at the national park (the facilities were closed and it was dark.) I think these timings should have been swapped. The guide, he is the worst one we have had yet. He talked, and talked, and talked. The whole time. It was like he was having a conversation with himself but over the microphone. I appreciate history, facts and knowledge but this was on another level. Overall, an incredible experience.”

“I had no car in Iceland so I had to book a tour to see the beautiful landscape. It was a great experience, I learned a lot about the country and saw some of the most beautiful places. Only downside is that you don't have a lot of time on the different spots. It is enough time to look at everything but sometimes I wish I could've stayed longer ❤️”
