Highlights
  • Thingvellir National Park - Þingvellir is full of history and natural beauty. It stands between the North-American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This rift valley has a special place in the hearts of all Icelanders. It is where our nation was formed by the Norse Viking settlers when they established the oldest parliament in the modern world, Alþingi Íslendinga, in the year 930 AD.

At this stop there will be enough time to walk around and explore this natural marvel. This is the closest you can get to being in two continents at the same time. We will have the opportunity to walk in the rift valley, where the tectonic plates are pulling apart. We can observe this movement since under the national park the Eurasian and the North-American tectonic plates are moving apart by ~2 cm every year.

Þingvellir was designated as a World Heritage of UNESCO in 2004 and is unquestionably one of the most beautiful and historic places in Iceland.

In the area there are restrooms and coffee shops for visitors.

Great “we only have one day” excursion - Elisa was a great tour guide. This was a full day tour and since no one in our group had any evening obligations, she added some extra stops! Definitely pack a swim suit so you can get the full experience. We only had one full day in Iceland and this was a great way to spend it.

Great tour ! - Karstan our driver was prompt, informative and helpful. The tour stops were just long enough for restroom breaks and pictures. Amazing views. The lunch stop at the geyser was crowded, but we still had plenty of time. Never felt rushed. Highly recommended!

Golden Circle - Tour was great. Siggi J, our guide was charming and very informative. I was a little disappointed we didn't get to go to the secret lagoon but that was out of their control. The tomato farm was really cool and loved the horses.

Amazing - Didn't have much time in Reykjavik but chose this small group tour on the reviews and wasn't disappointed. All the locations were amazing and ending up in the thermal pools was a relaxing and a fantastic time. Small group tour is a bit more personal and definitely the way to go. Our incredible and informative host Elisa just made the day so much more special and we would highly recommend this tour.
