Absolutely breathtaking!!! Could not have imagined in my wildest dreams anything so spectacular from majestic waterfalls to deep canyons. Our tour guide was so informative and friendly, it wouldn’t have been the same without her. The secret lagoon was an experience in itself. It was so warm ( edging to hot) that you were grateful for the cooler air when you got out. We couldn’t smell the sulphur at all. We had two hours there but the heat of the water made me so lethargic I got out after an hour. All in all a fantastic day. The time goes so quickly so don’t let the thought of 9.5 hrs put you off. You get lengthy stops at each point to take in the wonders. Worth every penny or Krona.

A great day out and a perfect trip. The golden circle summarises the beauty of Iceland in a day. Tour guides were on hand to answer questions and give commentary to accompany the trip , added me to the experience. Definitely find time for the secret lagoon. This relaxing experience rounds off the day perfectly.

Great tour showing all the essential sights around Iceland. Our guide Anastasia was very friendly and informative, and we did the extra Secret Lagoon option which was so relaxing! A good amount of time at each place, though would have loved a little longer at Thingvellir National Park.
