Private Golden Circle Tour from Reykjavik with English or Spanish-Speaking Guide

See Thingvellir National Park, the Geysir Geothermal Area, Gullfoss Waterfall, and Kerid Crater on this private Golden Circle tour from Reykjavik with an English- or Spanish-speaking guide.

Your guide picks you up at your accommodation in Reykjavik. As a private tour, you can explore at your own pace, with time for photos, questions, and breaks. Along the way, your guide tells you about Icelandic folklore, Viking legends, and the natural forces that shaped the land.

You start with a 15-minute photo stop at Nesjavellir Geothermal Area, with views over the steaming landscape.

Then you spend about 45 minutes in Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. It's also where Iceland's parliament, the Althing, was founded in 930 AD. The park lies on the shore of Thingvallavatn Lake, the largest natural lake in Iceland.

Next, you visit the Geysir Geothermal Area for about 45 minutes. Here, Strokkur Geyser erupts every 4 to 16 minutes, shooting boiling water 49 to 66 feet (15 to 20 meters) into the air, and paths lead past steaming vents and bubbling hot springs.

At Gullfoss Waterfall, you spend about 45 minutes watching glacial water plunge 105 feet (32 meters) in two tiers into a rugged canyon. In the early 20th century, plans to use the waterfall for hydropower were dropped, partly thanks to the efforts of a local woman, Sigridur Tomasdottir, and a monument to her stands near the falls.

The last stop is Kerid Crater, a volcanic crater lake with red and black slopes, where you spend about 15 minutes. Then you drive back to Reykjavik.
