Pass by without stopping
Thingvellir National Park
Our first stop will be Thingvellir, a national park recognized by UNESCO. From the park, we marveled at the breathtaking expanse of Þingvallavatn, the largest lake in the country. Walking amidst the park, we traversed the remarkable boundary between the European and American continental plates. We also witnessed the historic gathering place of the Althing, the world's oldest parliament, and gazed into Silfra, a symbolic fissure renowned for its crystal-clear waters, drawing divers from all around..

Fridheimar
We offer to try tomato soup with fresh baked baguette for our every tourist. Tomato Farm is the unique place in Iceland, where you can see how locals grow tomatoes by geothermal sources.
30 minutes here · Admission included
Kerid Crater
Our next destination is Kerid Crater, a picturesque lake nestled within its ancient confines. Formed approximately 3000 years ago, this crater beckoned us to embark on a leisurely stroll around its perimeter. The trail meandered along the crater's edge, treating us to captivating views at every turn.
45 minutes here · Admission included
Geysir
Next, we ventured into the Valley of Geysers, where we unraveled the etymology of the word "Geysir," which christened all such geothermal marvels. The highlight was Strokkur, Iceland's tallest geyser, erupting every few minutes with impressive force, sending water spurting up to 30 meters into the sky. The vibrant hues of mineral deposits on the ground and the smoky valley combined to create an otherworldly ambiance.
50 minutes here
We will make a stop by Bru Horse Farm, to make pictures with horses and we can feed them with special candys for horses. (Please tell to driver/guide if you have allergy from horses)
20 minutes here
Gullfoss Falls
Our exploration then led us to the majestic Gullfoss Waterfall. This powerful cascade cascaded down in two magnificent steps, showcasing an awe-inspiring display of cascading water. If luck favored us with clear skies, a radiant rainbow adorned the waterfall, adding to its natural grandeur. We relished multiple vantage points, even daring to venture closer, and embracing the possibility of getting lightly drenched by the waterfall's mist.

Incredible Days with Iceland Odyssey Tours
Iceland Odyssey made our two days touring in Iceland an exceptional experience. Communication with the owner, Vladi, was outstanding from the booking, to questions and plans for our two days. We had a delay disembarking due to a custom’s requirement.We texted Vladi regarding the delay and he was waiting for us after we made it through the long line for our planned Golden Circle tour. As we stepped into our clean and spacious vehicle, we were delighted to discover a bag of snacks and waters along with a comprehensive itinerary. Although the weather didn’t allow for extensive walking at the sights, Vladi adapted our tour and even stopped at a delightful farm, Efstidalurii, where we enjoyed seeing the cows while savoring our dairy fresh ice cream! We spent another delightful day together touring the South Coast. We were promptly picked up at our hotel and once again greeted with a bag full of goodies and a detailed itinerary. The South Coast sights were incredible and Vladi navigated the busy roads and jammed parking lots to get us close to each sight. He was so gracious about photo taking with his camera and ours at each stop and thoughtfully had our restaurants reserved for lunch on both days. On our final day in Iceland, Vladi offered transportation to the airport. Once again, he greeted us, this time with and envelope of photos he had printed to remember our wonderful trip! We highly recommend Iceland Odyssey for your private tours in Iceland, truly an extraordinary experience.

Golden Circle 6 Stops: Tomato Soup & Kerid Crater (Private Tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Golden Circle 6 Stops: Tomato Soup & Kerid Crater (Private Tour) cost?
+
Prices start at $1,314 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Golden Circle 6 Stops: Tomato Soup & Kerid Crater (Private Tour) take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Golden Circle 6 Stops: Tomato Soup & Kerid Crater (Private Tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Golden Circle 6 Stops: Tomato Soup & Kerid Crater (Private Tour)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Golden Circle 6 Stops: Tomato Soup & Kerid Crater (Private Tour) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Golden Circle 6 Stops: Tomato Soup & Kerid Crater (Private Tour)?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Golden Circle 6 Stops: Tomato Soup & Kerid Crater (Private Tour) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
