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.”
