Highlights
- Thingvellir National Park - One of the most interesting locations in Iceland due to its geological and historical importance. It holds the meeting of the American and Eurasian tectonic plates, but also this place was chosen to celebrate the general assembly, this is where Iceland’s parliament was founded in 930 A.D.

- Oxararfoss - Even though this beautiful waterfall is not one of the biggest in the country, it is one of the Icelandic peopleâs most well-loved waterfalls due to its location and for its historical significance
- Efstidalur II - We will visit Efstidalur dairy farm for some ice cream and also to visit Icelandic cows and other animals.
- Geysir - Geysir geothermal area is quite stunning where you witness the geyser Strokkur erupts every five minutes.
- Gullfoss Waterfall - The thundering Gullfoss waterfall tops many lists as a powerful and hypnotizing natural phenomenon
-
Fridheimar - After having lunch (not included) at this tomato farm, we will gain an insight into the processes of greenhouse horticulture, with a short and informative talk on the subject.
Also, Friðheimar breeds Icelandic horses, so we will be able to see and pet a couple of them. - Kerid Crater - It is one of several crater lakes in the area, known as Iceland’s Western Volcanic Zone, which includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, created as the land moved over a localized hotspot, but it is the one that has the most visually recognizable caldera still intact.

Amazing day - I had the best tour! I got to see everything I wanted plus extra stops that made for a really good day. I hurt my leg the day before and our tour guide Goncalo was really good at helping to modify the trip and allow me to still get the highlights without further hurting my leg. Would definitely recommend! The van was comfortable also.

So Much to See—And Don’t Skip the Tomato Greenhouse - We did the Golden Circle tour with EastWest and had Roger as our guide, and he was fantastic—hilarious, very knowledgeable, and made the whole day fun from start to finish.
We saw so much in one tour—a waterfall, Þingvellir National Park (home of the oldest parliament site), a volcanic crater lake, and a geyser. It’s an easy way to experience some of Iceland’s most iconic spots all in one day.
Roger even surprised us with traditional rye bread, which was such a fun and unexpected touch.
But the highlight for me was the tomato greenhouse—it was such a unique experience and honestly something I think everyone should make sure is included. It ended up being my favorite part of the entire tour.
Highly recommend this one.

A. For Al - Al was more fluent in English than anyone from America and he’s an Icelander. His knowledge for the terrain and history was amazing and his personality delightful, clever, patient and kind.

If you have booked with East West then you’ve made a great decision! - If you have booked with East West then you’ve made a great decision!
Supremely organised! We received and email on the morning confirming the vehicle registration and drivers name. So helpful as bus stops are busy. No other tour operator did this. We were on the bus and on our way in seconds.
Our tour guide, Bjorn was a brilliant driver and well versed in extremely snowy conditions. Very confident and smooth driver. And he did this all while giving us a great insight into each location and Iceland. Very entertaining storyteller.
Each location was exactly what we could hope for. Plenty of time to take pictures and explore safely.
Plenty of loo and water stops too.
The diary farm and tomato farm were really lovely touches. Ice cream was delish and lunch was devoured!
All stops lived up to expectations!
So glad we booked with East West! You won’t be disappointed.

Einar and the Golden Circle! - The trip was perfectly planned, timing was excellent. We never felt rushed. Einar was our guide and gave us so much more than information about the sights we saw, but he also explained a bit about what it’s like to live in Iceland..Highly recommend Einar(an excellent driver as well!)

Great tour with Martin - Such a good tour with Martin. The kids were worried about an 8.5 hour tour, but they didn’t complain once. Martin gave us just the right amount of time at each stop. And he knew when to talk and when to let us enjoy the scenery. He encouraged questions and friendly from start to finish.
One of the great things about this tour are the reservations at Fridheimer. We didn’t expect tomato soup to be a highlight of our day, but it was.
