Discover the timeless wonders of Iceland's Golden Circle on this private sightseeing tour with a local guide. Nature lovers keen on seeing waterfalls, geysers, and the country's first UNESCO World Heritage site should book this excursion today.

Your private tour in Iceland opens with a convenient hotel pick-up in Reykjavik, where you'll meet your friendly English-speaking local guide. With an expert at the helm, your day will be enriched with fascinating tales and fun trivia that breathe life into the landscapes you'll encounter.

This private tour is conducted in a luxury Mercedes-Benz V-Class, comfortably seating up to five guests to ensure your utmost comfort and enjoyment throughout the day. The smaller group size guarantees a personalized and intimate experience, allowing you to engage with your guide and immerse yourself fully in nature.

Alternatively, you can also book this experience as a regular tour, sharing it with other travelers. You can choose this option using the toggle bar on the booking widget.

For the next eight hours, your itinerary will focus on the Golden Circle, the most scenic route in the land of fire and ice. Its proximity to the Icelandic capital city and breathtaking natural marvels make it extremely popular with travelers of all ages.

Your first stop in the Golden Circle is the Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its geological and historical significance. Inside the park's Almannagja gorge, you'll have the rare experience of standing between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. 

In addition, Thingvellir is home to the founding parliament of Iceland called Althing, considered the oldest in the world. Your guide will share more of this information with you.

Next on your itinerary is the Geysir geothermal area, home to the world-famous Geysir and Strokkur geysers. Feel the Earth's raw power as Strokkur geyser erupts, sending hot water skyward every few minutes.

The geothermal area also boasts a landscape adorned with colored mineral deposits, creating an otherworldly atmosphere.

Gullfoss waterfall awaits as the third highlight of the Golden Circle. Gullfoss is the most majestic waterfall in Iceland for many locals and visitors because of its two-tiered flows plunging into a narrow canyon. On a sunny day, the heavy mist of the cascade creates stunning rainbows.

Besides the highlights of the Golden Circle, the guide will also take you to two lesser-known natural features in the area to add excitement to your day.

Faxi waterfall is a hidden gem just 6.8 miles (11 kilometers) from Geysir, known for its scenic charm. The waterfall cascades gracefully over a broad yet shallow ledge, offering a peaceful contrast to the mighty spectacle of Gullfoss.

Your final stop is Kerid, a breathtaking volcanic crater boasting steep, vibrant red slopes and a beautiful azure lake at its heart. You can walk along the rim and marvel at the unique beauty of this geological wonder.

After an excellent time exploring the Golden Circle, your guide will drop you off at your hotel in Reykjavik, marking the end of this private tour.

Don't miss this opportunity to see the Gullfoss waterfall and other Golden Circle attractions in the comforts of a private car with a local guide. Check availability now by choosing a date.
