It was an nice experience...
It was an nice experience and we had fun visiting the amazing scenaries of Iceland but the only thing that could be improved was the time allowed at each location, We only wish it could have been longer to get more value of each place to see more.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed Iceland’s amazing scenery, and we appreciate your suggestion about allowing more time at each stop.

Great experience seeing...
Great experience seeing the "biggies" that Iceland has to offer. Small group also offers flexibility that the big bus tours can't.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed seeing Iceland’s highlights and appreciated the flexibility of our small-group tour!

Golden circle scenic drive
Vidir, our tour guide and driver was excellent. He explained the stops and what you could do before getting to the location. The circle has a lot of driving before getting to the venues, but Vidir balanced the time with interesting facts and local stories. However it was not an incessant talking just to fill dead air. His knowledge of the sites and area was exceptional. Pickup is a little awkward, but vidir came at the appointed time and read off names clearly. We had 16 people on our bus. A good number to do this tour with.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted that guide's knowledge and storytelling made your tour enjoyable, and we truly appreciate your feedback!

Great day out, do not miss it.
A very enjoyable day. We had undertaken the golden circle before, but in December so it was a treat to see the sights in the summer. That said this tour visited two destinations not included in the standard golden circle tours. Those being the Kerid Crater which was quite spectacular to walk around the rim and the Bruarfoss waterfall was very good to see as well. Gullfoss was outstanding, although in the height of winter it's also fascinating when frozen. Thoroughly recommend this tour and the transport was comfortable.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Michael, for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed seeing Iceland in summer and discovering Kerið and Brúarfoss, and we truly appreciate your recommendation!

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Golden Circle & Kerið Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Golden Circle & Kerið Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 & Kerið Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 & Kerið Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 269 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 & Kerið Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik?
+
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 & Kerið Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Golden Circle & Kerið Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik?
+
Around 94 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Golden Circle & Kerið Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik 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, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. 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.
