Just great.
We had a wonderful day. Our tourguide did a great job and made it a day to remember. Great insides and she answered all of my questions.

Lots of Iceland in a Day
Great way to see a nice variety of Iceland all in one day. Tour is fast paced, that's how you get to see so much. Tour guide Monica was very sweet and kind. She shared lots of knowledge on Iceland. She also put a capybara plush in the bus window so it was super easy to identify in the crowd! Oh and definitely bring your own towel from the hotel, secret lagoon charged about $10 dollars to rent a towel.

Secret Lagoon experience was icing on the cake
Beautiful scenery and the Secret Lagoon experience was definitely worth it. Seats are tight in legroom but we managed and still enjoyed the tour.

Enjoyable day experiencing the Golden Circle
We had beautiful weather for a great day visiting so many sites along the Golden Circle. Our guide/driver, Andre, was interesting and informative. We were given sufficient time to enjoy every stop and we especially appreciated the pick up/drop off service at our hotel. The Secret Lagoon was uncrowded and just wonderful for relaxing after so much walking at the other sites. You can rent a towel there if you can’t bring one. Order an adult beverage at the bar and sip while soaking in the warmth. Seeing the Langjökull Glacier so clearly as we drove along was a delightful surprise. Godafoss did not disappoint. Highly recommend this tour!!

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Golden Circle, Secret Lagoon & Kerið Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Golden Circle, Secret Lagoon & Kerið Small Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $161 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, Secret Lagoon & Kerið Small Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 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, Secret Lagoon & Kerið Small Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,490 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Golden Circle, Secret Lagoon & Kerið Small Group 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, Secret Lagoon & Kerið Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Golden Circle, Secret Lagoon & Kerið Small Group Tour?
+
Around 522 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Golden Circle, Secret Lagoon & Kerið Small Group 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, 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.
