Private tours are an excellent way to maximize your sightseeing time because you don't need to wait for other travelers. You also have more flexibility to tweak your itinerary and spend more or less time at each destination according to your preferences.

Relax and enjoy the gorgeous scenery as your driver takes you out of Reykjavik toward the Icelandic Highlands. Iceland is full of diverse natural wonders, and you'll see plenty during the drive.

Your excursion starts with a drive through the beautiful scenery of Thingvellir National Park. Your guide will tell you more about the area's geology and history on the way. It's one of three famous stops on the Golden Circle sightseeing route.

Your first stop on the tour is the breathtaking Gullfoss waterfall, another Golden Circle attraction. This gorgeous waterfall has a thunderous cascade and is an ideal resting point, breaking up the trip between Reykjavik and the Highlands.

Next, your journey continues through picturesque countryside surroundings, past lakes, and into the mountains. The Langjokull glacier towers magnificently on your left as you get closer to the Kerlingarfjoll mountain range.

The Kerlingarfjoll mountain range is a feast for the senses with its colorful peaks and steaming geothermal areas surrounded by majestic glaciers. The area is a hiker's paradise, and your guide will take you on a hike up the Snaekollur mountain, one of the area's highest peaks.

The Snaekollur mountain hike is short but moderately challenging. It doesn't require technical skills and is suitable for anyone with reasonable fitness. Parts of the trail may be icy or snowy, even during summer. It can also get very windy, so dress in warm layers.

Your expert guide will lead you to Snaekollur's peak for glorious panoramic vistas of the surrounding area. On a clear day, you'll see stunning views of the Hofsjokull and Langjokull glaciers, the perfect reward for your efforts to reach the top.

After the hike, your guide will lead you through the Hveradalir valley, the best-known of Kerlingarfjoll's three geothermal areas. It's a fascinating place to explore and offers excellent photo opportunities with the contrast of the snow-covered peaks against the steam rising from the earth.

After an incredible day exploring the Icelandic Highlands, your driver will take you back to Reykjavik.
