Review of Iceland’s 10-hour Golden Circle tour with Secret Lagoon, Kerið crater, Geysir, Gullfoss, and Þingvellir, including practical tips.

“The pick up was a bit chaotic as there were multiple tour groups at the same pick up/meeting point. I think it’s tourists (us) problem with some lacking discipline. No proper queuing and most lose their morale and just swarm towards an approaching bus. Our tour guild and bus captain, Sunny and Lucas were absolute fabulous. Very knowledgeable about history and clear on instructions, itinerary and time frame. This was a big tour group of about 40+ people. I’m a solo traveller and this wasn’t a problem. I love the places that were on the internet. Never disappointed.”

“This was our first planned tour after an early flight. It was a great pace to get us acclimated to the time change. Close to 2 hours on the bus then your first stop gets you out and moving as you walk around to see some amazing geysers. The following 2 stops are just as amazing. Erikur and Flossi were a great driver and tour guide for us!”

“There are several versions of this trip, and i expect that all are great, hitting the main venues. For instance, we wanted to SEE the Blue Lagoon, but didn’t want to waste time soaking in hot mineral pools with so much else to experience. Suggest you carefully select which tour suits you best before booking.”
