The 15 Best Golden Circle Tours from Reykjavík

57 tours  ·  from $74 a head

Þingvellir, the Geysir field and Gullfoss sit inside a loop you can drive before dinner, which is why every operator in Iceland sells it. These 15 differ on group size, whether Kerið crater and the Secret Lagoon are bolted on, and how long you actually get at each stop.

“The transfer shuttle driver drove off without us despite us standing by the bus stop. Luckily the receptionist in our hotel managed to sort it so we could do a later trip.Tour itself was average, quite a distance to see the sights We had to wait to transfer to another coach 20 mins into the trip because the guides microphone wasn't working. Overall we found it expensive for what it was.”

“It was a truly amazing day and Sindri our guide was fantastic from BusTravel Iceland with wonderful stories about Iceland including the history of the country and so much information on the volcanic activity! The sites were all beautifully maintained with great facilities at each stop. Prices for food and drink are high, but that is across the country. We were blessed with a sunny day so everything was just beautiful , the secret lagoon was a wonderful ending to the day! Thank you!”
