Private Golden Circle Tour from Reykjavik

Get picked up from your Reykjavík accommodation, ready for a 7 to 8-hour private tour of southwest Iceland.
First, drive around 30 minutes to
Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where the Althing, the Icelandic Parliament, was founded in 930. Learn about the history of the area and its high level of seismic activity. Continue 30 minutes to
Laugarvatn lake and soak up the majestic beauty of the surrounding mountains. Head another 25 minutes east into the
Haukadalur valley where you will see Geysir, also known as the
Great Geysir, as well as
Strokkur, its smaller neighbor, which erupts every few minutes with bursts of sparkling blue water.
It's just a 10-minute drive to
Gullfoss, the 'Queen' of Icelandic waterfalls, which plunges 105 feet (32 meters) into a gaping canyon. Next, head 20 minutes to
Faxi waterfall, a little less known and smaller. For lunch (own expense) stop at
Friðheimar, a restaurant in a greenhouse, to eat among the tomato vines. After lunch, head to
Kerið, a volcanic crater, before the drive back to your Reykjavík hotel.
