Private Golden Circle Tour from Reykjavík

• After being picked up from a place of your choice in Reykjavik, you will begin your Iceland adventure.
• Your first stop is Thingvellir National Park. This is where our parliaments were held for about 1,000 years after settlement. It is also where North America and Europe are moving apart and where the biggest lake in Iceland is.
• Continue to Geysir, the one all the geysers in the world are named after. It is magnificent to see water erupt many meters into the air.
• Next is the iconic Gullfoss waterfall. This is truly one of Iceland's most spectacular waterfalls. It holds a lot of history, and it almost slipped out of Iceland's hands.
