    3. Gullfoss Falls

      Gulfoss waterfall is a two-tiered waterfall that drops approximately 32 meters into a rugged canyon below. The waterfall is fed by Iceland's second largest glacier, the Langjökull, & its water is a stunning turquoise color due to the suspended sediment in the glacial meltwater. One of the unique features of Gullfoss is that it appears to disappear into the earth as it cascades down the two tiers. This illusion is created by the shape of the canyon & the mist that rises from the waterfall. The sound of the water crashing into the canyon is deafening & the mist that rises from the falls creates a beautiful rainbow on sunny days. It is 10 minute drive from Geysir Geothermal Area there are several things to do and see in the surrounding area. For example, visitors can take a hike along the nearby trails that offer stunning views of the waterfall & the surrounding countryside. There is also a visitor center that provides information about the history & geology of the area.

    Fabulous day in the Golden Circle

    Our guide, Sultan, was fantastic. He picked us up at our hotel and we ventured to the Golden Circle. His presentation was informative and interesting. We visited the Thingvellir National Park, The Gullfoss waterfall and geyser. He also took us to a geothermal bakery and the Fridheimar greenhouse as an added surprise. We enjoyed our day and would highly recommend this tour and request Sultan as your guide.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted that you enjoyed your time in Iceland and had a memorable experience with us. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your thoughtful feedback. It was our pleasure to be part of your journey, and we hope to welcome you back for another Iceland adventure in the future!

    Wonderful surprises

    Sultan was a wonderful Tour Guide. Also prior to arriving he was very good at answering all my questions. The day we went it was really raining so he pivoted and took us to the tomato greenhouse restaurant. My group totally fell in love with eating in their beautiful restaurant and had the best tomato soup ever! Sultan picked us up on time and asked if we were set on a specific time getting back and we tried to go with the flow. I would highly recommend touring Sultan.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear that Sultan's flexibility and local knowledge helped turn a rainy day into a memorable experience. The tomato greenhouse is certainly a special place, and we're glad your group enjoyed it so much. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Iceland in the future.

    Golden Circle and Fridheimar Greenhouse Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Golden Circle and Fridheimar Greenhouse Private Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,529 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 and Fridheimar Greenhouse Private Guided Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 and Fridheimar Greenhouse Private Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 and Fridheimar Greenhouse Private Guided 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 and Fridheimar Greenhouse Private Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Golden Circle and Fridheimar Greenhouse Private Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Golden Circle and Fridheimar Greenhouse Private Guided 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.

    What is included in Golden Circle and Fridheimar Greenhouse Private Guided Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Break for food/meal; On-board WiFi; Hotel Pick & Drop Off from Reykjavik City; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Tip or Gratuity; and Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
