A Golden Circle private tour with your own local guide and vehicle. You see Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss, plus quieter stops like Kerið crater and Brúarhlöð canyon, and the day runs at your pace.
The Golden Circle is the most popular day trip from Reykjavík, and on a big bus it can feel rushed. On a private tour the day is built around you: you decide how long to stay at each stop, and your guide can add or skip places depending on the weather and what you enjoy.
The route covers about 300 km. Along with the three classic stops you visit Kerið crater, the small Brúarhlöð canyon on the Hvítá river, and Friðheimar, a family farm that grows tomatoes all year with geothermal heat. Walks are short and easy, so the tour suits all ages.
In winter the days are short and roads can be icy, so your guide plans the route around daylight and conditions. In summer you have long, bright evenings and more time at each stop.
Per vehicle and group. The price in the booking box is for your whole private group.

Jonas · November 2025Excellent tour to the Golden Circle. I guess everyone visits the Golden Circle on their first trip to Iceland, or thats what I have read online, and it was well wroth it. The attractions are powerful and unique and I can understand why you would want to go back there again.
Our guide was the best, very nice person and guide. Will be joining him again on my next trip to Iceland, without a question!
Other tours show you the sites—but our guide made them come alive with stories, history, and a personable style. We felt like we got the VIP version of the Golden Circle. Truly exceptional.
