Really wish you showed a map on the screen and as you move along show us the path. That would be soooo helpful!

[@thewanderingeye7133]

[@garyclayton3760]

This truly is the most amazing channel for all things Iceland.. Thank you.

[@IcelandwithaView]

Thank you so much for the kind words. And you are so welcome! Happy to help! :)

[@desertleo8621]

Thank you so much for your precious info... I am planning to visit in July with my family and thanks to you, I can make the most of it.

[@IcelandwithaView]

Love to hear that! Have the best trip!

[@kylee23569]

Wish you showed the names written text and slow down with more pics

[@wade2922]

The tomato soup is the best I ever had. It is that amazing! Bread is amazing too. Looking foward going back in July.

[@IcelandwithaView]

Awesome! Such a simple meal but oh, so good!

[@adi2009bm]

Tnx for the video ! How long is the whole road will take ?

[@cristina_em]

Great video and information. Were you able to write a list of the places, please.

[@cristina_em]

Found the link!! Thank you 😊

[@mitchellcizmas5996]

Is the four dollars for the crater per car or per person? I can’t wait to go see all of these.

[@mercedesirizarry7506]

Looking for a place/ venue to renew our vows under the northern lights . Also do they offer helicopter tours or hot air balloon ride there in Iceland

[@jodyclaborn]

I’ve really enjoyed your videos, and website resources (maps, itineraries, lists, etc.). I do wish you would place a graphic with the spelling of the locations. (EDIT: They’re in the description! 🤦🏼‍♂️ I should have looked) Thanks for all your great content and resources.

[@IcelandwithaView]

Thanks, Jody! Icelandic is such a difficult language for us English speakers! There is a list of the places I discussed in the video description above!

[@jodyclaborn]

@@IcelandwithaView Oh goodness! 🤦🏼‍♂️ I should have looked. We were originally scheduled to go to Iceland a couple of years ago, but COVID-19 happened. So we are trying to go in late March 2023. Your maps I purchased and other resources have been SO helpful! Thanks again for all your help!

[@Mickeytwit]

I was trying to write these out as you were talking, not thinking to look to see if you had them under your video. Honestly, not even the same words at all 😂😂

[@IcelandwithaView]

Lol that is hilarious! Crazy Icelandic spellking ;)

[@MrPicky]

When you include ice-cream in your video you can't go wrong ;)

[@IcelandwithaView]

Couldn't agree more, sir!

[@marybethwestbrook6870]

Hi Jeannie, We would like to go to the restaurant that serves tomato soup. We are leaving Reykjavik at 9 a.m.to travel the Golden Circle. We were wondering, if we travel clockwise, could make it there in time for lunch (without being rushed) ? If not, we'll try for dinner. We will definitely make reservations. Thanks. Love your videos! Very helpful.

[@IcelandwithaView]

So sorry I am just now getting back to you! What did you decide? And thank you so much, happy to help!

[@marybethwestbrook6870]

@@IcelandwithaView We arrived there in the late afternoon. It was wonderful! Thanks for the recommendation. Afterward, we had enough time and daylight to finish the southern part of the circle. We were in Iceland for only two days (not long enough!) and rented a car. The Golden Circle was a little more difficult to navigate than we thought, but we made it and were able to visit most of sights we were looking forward to seeing.

[@boral9644]

should i book for the golden circle in advance or i can pay in the office?

[@mattcolver1]

I wish I had known of this channel when I booked my Iceland tour a year ago. I don't know if my tour will take us to some of the sights you mention. We probably should have just rented a car and toured ourselves.

[@IcelandwithaView]

You can always go back...hint hint...😊

[@TeachMeTerBeest]

Will we be able to get to Bruarfoss in the end of October? Could you explain in a little more detail how to get there?

[@IcelandwithaView]

Currently the access is completely closed to the public. Not sure when it will reopen.

[@garyclayton3760]

You park on the road by the river hike along the side of the river you will pass two other waterfalls then you get to Brurafoss may be a 1 and a half hour hike

[@MichaelFinkCMT]

HELP?!! I'm trying to make reservations for the tomato soup place... We will be stopping there on our Golden Circle drive, we have a car, and am not sure what time to book. We plan to leave Reykjavik around 9am. How long do YOU think we should plan to take in the sites along the way? ANY guidance is greatly appreciated.

[@marybethwestbrook6870]

We're looking for this same information, as well. Waiting for a reply!

[@IcelandwithaView]

I am so sorry I have not gotten back to before now! Many factors can affect your travel time, do you like to stop often, make sure you have enough time to enjoy your stop, etc. How many stops are you going to make? How are you traveling? Do you need to make certain time do to accommodation?

[@cindysalamanderski4838]

Jeannie I’m getting all those gems

[@jameswilkinson3281]

What is the speed limit on the Golden Circle?

[@IcelandwithaView]

Hi James! On paved roads outside of the city the speed limit is 90 km/hour (~55 mph). Once you get close to tourist stops and visitor centers it will drop to as low as 30 km/hour (~20 mph). Thanks for the question!

[@iliyanmladenov2410]

We just did the Golden Circle tour outlined by Jeannie in this video. Every single bit of statements she made was 100% true, anything she said it would happen did! Very low traffic on the roads was so nice!:) Loads of love and very much thank to Jeannie! Darling, we mentioned you in the Tomato farm!

[@IcelandwithaView]

Thanks for the feedback! So glad to have had an impact on your Iceland adventure!

[@rebeccalydy1142]

It would be helpful to list the names of the places, on your video, as you mention them. I don't want links where I have to give my email address.

[@IcelandwithaView]

Great idea Rebecca, I've just added the names in the description - thanks for the feedback!

[@rebeccalydy1142]

Thank you!

[@kerryolson8627]

Sub titles would be helpful!!

[@yoparvs]

Would have been helpful if you listed the places. It’s hard to spell out the names.

[@IcelandwithaView]

Thanks for the comment, Goldy! See the description under the video for all the gems, spelled out, that I talked about.

[@samzlin]

What’s wrong

[@terrym1964]

Too much talking

[@brianhoffmann2870]

Mmmm,mmmm, so fine.
