Highlights
- Thingvellir National Park - One of the most interesting locations in Iceland due to its geological and historical importance. It holds the meeting of the American and Eurasian tectonic plates, but also this place was chosen to celebrate the general assembly, this is where Iceland’s parliament was founded in 930 A.D.

- Oxararfoss - Even though this beautiful waterfall is not one of the biggest in the country, it is one of the Icelandic peopleâs most well-loved waterfalls due to its location and for its historical significance
- Efstidalur II - We will visit Efstidalur dairy farm for some ice cream and also to visit Icelandic cows and other animals.
- Geysir - Geysir geothermal area is quite stunning where you witness the geyser Strokkur erupts every five minutes.
- Gullfoss Waterfall - The thundering Gullfoss waterfall tops many lists as a powerful and hypnotizing natural phenomenon
-
Fridheimar - After having lunch (not included) at this tomato farm, we will gain an insight into the processes of greenhouse horticulture, with a short and informative talk on the subject.
Also, Friðheimar breeds Icelandic horses, so we will be able to see and pet a couple of them. - Kerid Crater - It is one of several crater lakes in the area, known as Iceland’s Western Volcanic Zone, which includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, created as the land moved over a localized hotspot, but it is the one that has the most visually recognizable caldera still intact.

Beautiful Waterfalls - We got picked up outside our hotel at 8:45 and headed out for a glorious day. Our guide Ionut was really fantastic. He told very funny stories about Icelands history and kept us all very engaged. The time allotted for each sight was perfect. The Gulfloss waterfall is really beautiful and has an interesting history. Girl power! We loved the lunch at the tomato farm, the bread is so delicious. I highly recommend this tour and guide.

Great Tour Company! - I recommend this company for tours. We did the Northern Lights Tour which was magical. Our guide, Al, took incredible pictures of us with the Northern Lights. We also did the South Coast Tour with Martin and the Golden Circle Tour with Oscar. The tours were great, we saw all the highlights we wanted to see. The guides are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We throughly enjoyed!

Just book it - If you’re reading this and swithering about which tour to book, just click the button. You won’t regret it. A whistle stop tour of some of the most incredible sights in Iceland which never felt rushed and gave us the opportunity to create once in a lifetime memories. Simon the spicy Viking was the ultimate host, welcoming us back to the cosy minivan after each stop with humour and warmth and still giving us the space to enjoy the kaleidoscopic skies as we wended our way back to Reykjavik. A highlight of our trip to this beautiful country.

Experience the majesty of Icelandic nature and the wonder that is Leroy. - Wonderful day touring the Golden circle with the one and only Leroy in Iceland. From tectonic plates to waterfalls, tomato beer to volcanic craters, Leroy shared his knowledge, anecdotes and love for his adopted country. Just when you thought you couldn’t get colder…. We ended up at Kerið. Experienced the majesty and brutality of Icelandic nature and loved it.

Leroys Iceland! - A fantastic introductory tour of some of Icelands most well known and lesser known places. Our guide Leroy (there is only one Leroy!!) took the visual delights on offer and sprinkled on top his audible gems. From fascinating Icelandic history to local dating apps to geographic insights and Ed Sheeran anecdotes!! He honestly elevated the tour to another level. Ask for him.. there is only one Leroy!

Amazing tour - On the golden circle tour we visited Thingveller National Park and walked a path where the North American and Eurasian plates meet, visited Gullfoss waterfall, visited and walked around Kerid volcanic crater, visited and saw a geysir erupt, gave treats to Islandic horses, had ice cream at a dairy farm, and had lunch at a farm that grows tomatoes in green houses. Our tour guide Einar was knowledgeable and personable. He helped make it a fun day filled with geologic wonder and history. He also structured the tour to avoid crowds from the big tour buses. The Gullfoss waterfall and the geysir were especially cold. If I did the tour again, I would be better prepared for the cold and would have warm gloves that allow taking pictures and filming without taking my gloves off.

Highly recommend - had a wonderful experience! - We had an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Roger, was knowledgeable and provided us with historical facts throughout our tour. We had a good amount of time at every stop. Everything was so gorgeous. We had delicious ice cream in the morning, and we had lunch at the tomato farm. Absolutely yummy! The sightseeing spots were perfect to get a look at some of the most iconic spots in Iceland. I would highly recommend this tour. This was part of my itinerary as my first time outside of the United States. It was a little rainy on the day we went but nothing we couldn’t manage. The bus was pretty comfortable but nothing particularly special. I loved that I was able to select the closest bus stop to my hotel, so pickup was easy. The stops on this tour were also very easy to walk. There were some stairs and hills so something to be mindful of, but overall it was easy to walk everywhere and see everything within the allotted time. Ultimately, I am so glad that I booked this tour and I would consider this PERFECT for someone’s first time in Iceland!

In Einar we trust, for a perfect golden circle tour! - Einar was a superb tour guide for our golden circle tour. He was very knowledgeable and friendly towards the group. He is open to answering questions and giving recommendations. It was more immersive and intimate than large coach tours.
He has given us a perfect tour of Snowy, magical Iceland. Combined with Waterfalls, geysers, craters; we had a trip to a small dairy farm for the most amazing liquorice ice cream (other flavours are available).
We also enjoyed a tour of a local tomato farm and sampled some stuff from the menu, including soup, salad, tomato beer etc. Don't knock it until you've tried it, we were particularly excited to try the tomato beer and it was sublime. It tasted like a blonde ale.

Experience of a lifetime ! - What a great experience ! Definitely won't forget it, every single stop had a unique experience to offer, esp the tomato beer. They also offer you crampons during the Winter which is now something I need in my life living in Scotland lol
Our tour guide Einar was a great guy, truly passionate about the country and very knowledgeable about the myths and folklore, nothing will beat his bad (dad) jokes haha
Incredible day out, very grateful for the experience. Thank you EastWest !
