Discover Iceland’s top attractions on this 10-hour private Golden Circle tour from Reykjavik. Travelers seeking a personalized experience visiting Thingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall, and a local farm should book this full-day tour now.

Your exciting day begins with a pick-up from your Reykjavik accommodation. You’ll travel in a private vehicle with an experienced local guide, the best way to ensure an experience tailored to your needs.

When you start and finish in Reykjavik, the classic Golden Circle route covers around 140 miles (230 kilometers). It includes three diverse natural wonders and boasts breathtaking scenery in every direction.

First up, you’ll visit the powerful and mesmerizing Gullfoss waterfall. Known as the "Golden Falls," this magnificent waterfall cascades in two tiers. It provides a breathtaking spectacle as the glacial Hvita river plunges into a rugged canyon. 

The sheer force and beauty of Gullfoss are awe-inspiring. On sunny days, you may even witness a rainbow in front of the falls, creating a picture-perfect effect.

After Gullfoss, your driver will take you to the Geysir geothermal area. Its main attraction is the world-famous Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes, shooting boiling water and steam high into the air. 

The area is also home to numerous hot springs and bubbling mud pots, showcasing the raw power of Iceland's geothermal activity. Exploring Geysir offers a fascinating insight into the volatile nature of the Earth's geology and the unique geothermal energy that Iceland harnesses for heating and electricity.

Thingvellir National Park, the third Golden Circle attraction, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with great historical and geological significance. Here, visitors can witness the dramatic rift valley formed by the diverging North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. 

Thingvellir is also the birthplace of the world's oldest parliament, the Althingi, established in 930 AD. While here, you’ll explore the park's trails and marvel at the spectacular surrounding scenery.

​​Beyond these iconic attractions, the Golden Circle route also presents opportunities to discover charming Icelandic towns, taste traditional cuisine, and immerse oneself in the country's rich cultural heritage. 

Your private Golden Circle tour will finish with a visit to Fridheimar farm. Known for cultivating tomatoes, this family-owned farm offers visitors a chance to explore their greenhouse and learn about the innovative techniques used to grow tomatoes year-round in Iceland's challenging climate. 

The farm's restaurant serves delicious meals where guests can savor fresh tomato-based dishes while surrounded by the lush foliage of the greenhouse.
