Full description
The Silver Circle route with one addition that makes it exceptional: 90 minutes bathing in geothermal pools fed directly by the spring your guide just showed you. Krauma Geothermal Baths sits five minutes from Deildartunguhver — Europe's most powerful hot spring — and its pools are filled with the same water. Your guide explains the connection at the source before you soak in it. The tour covers the full route — Borgarnes for fjord views, Deildartunguhver, Reykholt and Snorri Sturluson's medieval hot pool, Hraunfossar lava waterfalls, Husafell village — then extends into Krauma's six heated pools, cold plunge, and steam room. No Blue Lagoon pricing or crowds. Same geology. Private YFIR guide throughout, hotel pickup included. Swimwear required.

Reviews
My sister and I chose the Folklore Tour and would recommend to anyone, who is also curious about the darker side of folklore. Einar was our guide and he really brought the stories to life - many jokes, committed dramatic performances and a clear passion for folklore
Excellent tour with Kristin, informative and engaging, a great blend of history, folklore and mythology. A wonderful introduction to our time in Iceland and very lucky to see so many of the famous cats!
Maria G was punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable. It was very rainy and windy. She made the experience fun. I would highly suggest her as a Icelandic Food Tour guide.
