The Best of Iceland!
Combine two tours into one as you see the sights of Reykjavik in the morning before exploring some of Iceland’s natural phenomena in the afternoon including hot springs, waterfalls and the country’s best known historical site.
Our guide to Reykjavik Sightseeing and Golden Circle Afternoon
The morning tour visits the most significant places in and around Reykjavik, taking in the presidential residence at Bessastaðir, Hafnarfjörður - the town where the hidden people and humans live together in harmony (Don't forget your camera for the picturesque old fishing harbour!), the viewing platform at Perlan, and Höfði house - where the all-important summit between former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and former U.S.S.R. Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev took place in 1986.
You then visit Hallgrímskirkja church and the old town centre where the Icelandic parliament Alþingi and the town hall are situated before seeing the sports and recreation area in Laugardalur, with its geothermally heated outdoor swimming pool and sculptures crafted by Ásmundur Sveinsson.
The tour takes a break in the city centre where passengers are dropped off to take a stroll or have lunch (not included in the price).
After the break, you join the Golden Circle Afternoon tour and head for the countryside to the National Park Þingvellir - renowned for its historic legacy and geological intrigue. Gaze in wonder at the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall, before viewing Geysir a hot spring erupting from below the Earths crust.
This is thought to be the oldest known geyser and one of the best examples of this phenomenon in the world. Eruptions here can throw hot water up to 60 meters into the air but can be infrequent, however nearby is the Strokkur geyser which is a much more reliable source of eruptions, usually propelling hot water into the air every 5 to 10 minutes.
