Horse riding was fantastic, but Golden Circle was to 'Express'

The horse riding was the highlight of the tour, great place, horses, experienced staff, great ride. The Golden Circle Express however was not very enjoyable. The problem is with the 'Express'. All visits were too short especially the stop at Thingfellir where we had only 35 minutes to explore that vast area. Barely had time to visit the bathroom and no time to stop at refreshments/souvenir shop. Geyser and Gullfoss both had 50 to 55 minutes, but still felt too short. I didn't have time to finish my second bowl of the delicious meat soup at Gullfoss and had to abandon it to make to the bus on time.

Thank you for your hospitality, you were kind hosts. Delicious lamb soup and zingy coffee. I loved my horse. I enjoyed the ride very much, and I liked being around the horses and talking about them afterward. I think you could add a 10 minute talk on the Icelandic horse before the ride as visitors might not know about them.
