The Golden Circle route is the most popular tour in Iceland hands down and for a good reason. This route includes Gullfoss waterfall, Strokkur spouting spring in the Geysir geothermal area, and Thingvellir national park which is a Unesco World Heritage Site. This route is best enjoyed accompanied by an experienced driver/guide.

I've been a driver/guide since 1988 and still love my job! I used to lecture tourism related subjects at two universities and I was the head of the Iceland Tourist Guide School. Today I focus on my private tour business and would love to show you around my native country Iceland. I do day tours from Reykjavik and tours around the entire country with overnight stays when requested for groups big and small. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
