The 15 Best Golden Circle Tours in Iceland

233 tours  ·  from $50 a head

Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss sit on one 190-mile loop that every operator in Reykjavík sells. These 15 are separated by what gets added at the end — Kerið, the Secret Lagoon, a snowmobile, a tomato farm — and by how long the bus actually stops.

Review of Nicetravel’s 11-hour Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon tour, with Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, Kerið, transport, tips, and value advice.

“This was a fantastic experience and we spent a wonderful day visiting several different sites in Reykjavík. Our guide Dominica was excellent and full of knowledge and tales of her own experiences in Reykjavík. Our final destination of the day was The Blue Lagoon and my husband who had said all day he wouldn’t be going in was actually first in and had the best time ever!”

“This day-long tour is fantastic. We were able to see and learn so much! It did NOT ever feel like an 11 hr tour. Our tour guide, Siggie, was outstanding. So knowledgeable and personable. He was the perfect tour guide. We have used Viator before (Machu Picchu in Peru) & have been very pleased with Viator. They are extremely responsive for questions or assistance.”

“No one ever showed up at the ship terminal. We not able to communicate with company because our cell phones not yet registered with ship system. We were ready at the port by noon as directed by you. After watching a parade of taxi cabs until 12:30, we gave up and signed into the ship. No computer reception until today. Only way to contact you is through this survey. Very disappointed about your missing the tour. Please refund the entire fee that we paid for the Golden Circle tour. Thank you.

See Iceland’s Golden Circle from Reykjavik, including Þingvellir, Strokkur, Gullfoss, and Kerid Crater, with transport and a live guide.

“This was a fantastic tour. Definitely recommend this. Well worth the money. It’s the best value for money we had the whole time here! The bus meant we didn’t have to brave the weather and drive ourselves - and in any case you’d have to pay to pay park at each stop. The geysir and Goll floss waterfall took our breath away, as did the stunning natural landscape of the national park, fresh water lake and the Kerid crater and its majestic lake. Despite having all the weathers, rain cloud, sun and sleet, it didn’t spoil our time one bit. There are plenty of stops for beverages and loo breaks!…”
