Great way to spend a day in Iceland - Did the golden circle and Fontane Wellness trip via Reykjavík Excursions. Absolutely recommended. Fantastic day with some amazing sights of Icelands natural beauty, followed by a great experience relaxing in the thermal baths, plus tasting of Rye bread with smoked trout. Wow!! Guide also worth special mention, Eric ( with a C), was superb. Very approachable and informative throughout the day. I hope you are all lucky enough to get Eric if you pick this tour. Enjoy👍

Golden Circle & Fontana Wellness tour - The tour itself was magnificent! Our guide, Leifur, was a wealth of information during each of our stops as well as while in transit. All the stops offered incredible views and the Fontana Wellness stop (final stop) provided a much needed respite in the form of a thermal bath experience that was both relaxing and invigorating.
