Description

Experience the wonders of Iceland's Golden Circle on this exclusive nine-hour private tour from Reykjavik. Designed for those who seek a personalized and immersive experience, this tour covers some of Iceland's most famous natural sites and equally breathtaking hidden gems.

The tour begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. Your professional driver-guide will meet you at your location, ensuring a hassle-free start to your day. 

With a private excursion, you don't have to wait for other tour joiners. You can also enjoy a more flexible itinerary to have more time in the attractions you prefer and add lesser-known destinations to elevate the experience.

For the next nine hours, your private group will be in the hands of a knowledgeable, English-speaking guide. They will provide insightful commentary and engaging stories about each destination in the Golden Circle. 

Additionally, the tour can be conducted in other languages, including German, Spanish, French, and Czech, if arranged in advance. Just contact the tour operator during the booking process.

From Reykjavik, the adventure takes you eastward to the Golden Circle. It is one of the most visited areas in the land of fire and ice because of its stunning natural attractions, accessible from Reykjavik.

First to visit is the Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, you'll explore rift valleys where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates drift apart, causing unique geological formations. 

At Thingvellir, you'll also visit Althing, the site of Iceland's historic parliament. You'll hear more about this historical feature from your guide.

Next, you'll head to the Geysir geothermal area, home to the famous Strokkur geyser. This geyser erupts every 5 to 10 minutes, sending a plume of boiling water high into the air. The geothermal area is also fascinating with its bubbling hot springs and steaming vents.

Your journey continues to the majestic Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's most iconic natural wonders. This powerful and vast two-tiered waterfall cascades into a deep canyon. The viewing platforms offer fantastic photo opportunities and an up-close experience of Gullfoss's raw power.

In addition to these main attractions, the flexible itinerary allows for visits to other destinations along the Golden Circle, such as the Kerid crater. This volcanic crater lake is known for its blue lake and stunning red slopes.

For a unique dining experience, your guide can take you to the Fridheimar tomato farm or the Efstidalur farm. At Fridheimar, you can enjoy a meal in a greenhouse surrounded by tomato plants. 

Alternatively, Efstidalur is a family-run dairy farm offering delicious homemade ice cream and a farm-to-table dining experience. Just note that the price for these meals is not included in the tour price.

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