What to expect

The Golden Circle is a popular route that passes by a series of the most remarkable and diverse sites in the Southwest of Iceland. If you are only doing one tour in Iceland, this is the one. During one day, you’ll see amazing nature and unforgettable sights.

In the Geysir geothermal area, you will get the chance to observe the boiling hot spring Strokkur spout steaming water up to 30 meters into the air every 8 minutes.

The iconic waterfall of Gullfoss, or Golden Falls, is only a 7-minute drive from Geysir – located in the glacial river Hvítá. Its elegant and majestic form is like no other. See how the torrential river water plummets in two steps down into a 32-meter-deep canyon.

Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park is not only a site of geological wonder, located at the intersection of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates but also a place full of history. Hear stories of geographical and political struggles, compromises and ongoing evolution. The national park was accepted on the UNESCO World Heritage list for its cultural value in 2004.

Additionally, the tour includes a visit to the volcanic crater lake Kerið.

    I wasn't aware that most of the tours you book are actually through a third party not TUI, they are likely better value for money if you book directly with the tour company themselves as I'm sure TUI will take their cut. The communication from TUI was not great. However the tour itself was really good, the tour guide HBO was funny and knowledgeable.

    Enjoyed everything, the trip to the volcano was a bit rushed and we would have preferred a little bit longer.

    Anna our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable not just on the sights visited but on Icelandic life and history/geography. She also taught us some Icelandic. Lukas our driver was also friendly. They fitted in another couple of quick stops along the way which was an added bonus. Pick up and drop off were easy.
