Golden Circle Classic Day Trip from Reykjavik

Great experience .not rushed and lots to see but wrap up warm with waterproofs if going in winter good fun.”

Very nice we are happy for the excellent service and the welcome the we received in this trip and we are happy bc to say that we are going to try to come back soon.”

Absolutely loved this trip - it was interesting and worthwhile! Guide Darren and Driver Obbi were superb, the best! Darren was informative and friendly but never too much. We had plenty of time at all the sites...my fave was the Geysirs! We ate ice cream and just watched them! Brilliant! Coach very comfy and warm as well - pretty perfect really! Thoroughly recommend!”

The trip was well-organized and everything went really smoothly. We loved our tour guide, Simon, as he was very knowledgeable and funny. He brightened up the whole trip. Although it was rainy and cloudy, but as we know, the weather could be even worse in November. Overall, we had a good time.”

Excellent tour guide with good information. Great personality to keep the bus listening to every word!”

This trip is absolutely worth the money! Well organised, great guide who was very knowledgeable and beautiful scenery unlike anything I've ever seen before. There was plenty of time on the bus to recover from the walking - I did over 20,000 steps on my fitbit! We explored waterfalls in Thingvellir, (look out for the brown trout, they are amazing!), got blown off our feet at Gullfoss and saw a glacier in the distance! A first for us and quite a sight! My favourite part was the geysir, such fun and got some fabulous slow motion videos to bring home. A long day but made memories we will never forget!”

Wow wow wow!! Superbly organised and expertly delivered. Just book and enjoy. Pickup is prompt, and our guide Cristina was fab. Funny, knowledgeable and in charge! Money well spent”

Amazing places, flawless organisation, competent guide. Only nitpick: I would have appreciated if the stops had been longer than the hour we had.”

Very good trip you get to see a lot of scenery and places of interest. The guide was very informative. The waterfall was stunning.”

Great views, waterfalls, geyser and trails. Loved this tour transfers from ship and back were seamless, great value. We will use this tour group again.”

Guide and driver were excellent. Saw everything as planned and learned a lot about area. We enjoyed the experience.”

As always on this tours wish for more time at each location,but the price you pay and comfort,a great deal🙏”

This was a nice tour. The tour bus was very clean and comfortable, and offered USB charging ports. The guide spoke very clearly and explained everything well. 3 stops on the tour, and each stop lasted 30-60 minutes. Each stop also offered food and toilets.”

I was recently on a cruise ship that went to Iceland. The ship stopped in Reykjavik and offered a shore excursion called the Golden Circle to Thingvellir National Park, the Gullfloss Waterfalls, and the Geysir Geothermal area. The shore excursions was $209 per person, but, unfortunately, by the time we tried to sign up on the ship, the shore excursion was sold out. So, the morning that we docked in Reykjavik, my sister suggested we contact Viator. After telling her that I doubted that we would be able to get a tour for that same day, she persisted. So, since we had nothing to lose, we went on line and got in touch with Viator. Lo and behold! We were actually able to get a tour to the Golden Circle for that afternoon at 12:30. The price for the tour was a very reasonable $69 per person for a complete 6 1/2 hour tour! The tour was run by Gray Line, a local tour company in Iceland. The tour driver, Sosh, and guide, Christina, picked us up and others from my ship, promptly at the cruise terminal at 12:30 pm. We made one more stop to pick up a few others and by 1:00 pm we were on our way in a comfortable tour bus. Our guide was knowledgeable and her English impeccable, as she explained all that we were going to see. Our driver got us everywhere we needed to go safely. We got to see Thingvellir National Park, home of the divide in the North American and Euro-Asian tectonic plates. It was ruggedly beautiful. The Gullfloss Falls were gorgeous and powerful. The Geysir Geothermal area was like nothing I had ever seen before. Our Guide not only gave us a lot of interesting information about each area, she also had some charming and relevant anecdotes that she shared along the way to and from each stop. It was a most enjoyable learning experience. At each stop, she also gave specific instructions as to rest rooms, where we could eat, if we wanted, the location of where the bus would be, and the time we needed to be back at the bus. The funny thing is that at each stop we would run into people we knew who had taken the ship's more expensive shore excursion. Anyway, the Viator tour got us back to the ship safe and sound at the promised time. The tour guide and driver had made this a day to remember! Thank you, Viator, for making it possible for us to do the Golden Circle Tour at the last possible minute.”

Thank you again Viator , we had a wonderful day ,everything went like clockwork from being met at the cruise terminal to being returned to the ship, the tour guide was excellent and very informative.”

A well planned day out with adequate time at the waterfalls, geysirs and national park. Even a short tour of Reykavik as we dropped people at their hotels. Guide was well informed and easy to listen to.”

We had a wonderful day trip With Isak as driver and Cristina as guide. Cristina is a gold mine of information. She told us a lot more than what to expect. This trip is a must for People who would like see the nature of Island.”

Great scenery and very helpful information from our guide. Covered the essential three main natural attractions in good time. Driver and guide very obliging on return to cruise ship.”

Buses were comfortable, tour, scenery, timing on each place was great as well. The best was all the stories and anecdotes offered by the tour conductor Anna. She was fantastic.”

We visited Iceland on Marco Polo, a great little ship, and pre-booked this tour. I was a little concerned that we could have difficulty finding the pick-up point, but, no worries, the coach was waiting at the port. The guide (Jacob) was great, very amusing mixing information and humour, as we drove between the sites. I have done the Golden Circle tour before and was surprised at how many more visitors there were this time but also how access and viewing had been improved; it was almost possible to touch the water at Gullfoss and we experienced the spray from the falls. The drive was well organised and we returned to the port on time, with no problems.”

Derrick and Siggi were great informative guides for the day. Highly recommend the trip. Follow their suggestions.”

We had a great day out we where picked up on time and our guide Simon looked after us well and was very informative I would recommend Grayline to anyone going to Iceland we also had great weather”
