Join us on a private bespoke Golden Circle tour in a luxury vehicle!The Golden Circle includes some of Iceland's most popular tourist sightseeing spots.
It's not only because they are close to the country's capital area, but also because they are stunningly beautiful, full of history and fantastic geology.
The traditional Golden Circle includes Þingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Gullfoss Waterfall, but we also add several food stops, snacks, and more on this bespoke tour, so it's also a food journey and not just the beautiful sights.
The places we visit on our food journey depend on the season & time of day, but we always include a great lunch, farm-made Ice cream, and more.
There is also the possibility of adjusting the food stops based on dietary restrictions & needs.
The stops can include but are not limited to:
Þingvellir National Park
The historical site of Þingvellir is vital to Icelanders.
It is where Alþingi, the world's oldest Parliament, was founded in 930.
It is also one of few places in Iceland (and the world) you can see the mid-Atlantic ridge above ground.
Walk through the Almannagjá tectonic rift, pass the site of the first parliament, Althing, and enjoy Öxaráfoss waterfall, take in the beautiful scenery, see where Game of Thrones was shot, visit Iceland's largest lake Þingvallavatn Lake and even dive between the continents in the Silfra River.
Þingvellir National Park is also where Icelanders converted to Christianity. Members of Parliament met to discuss the possibility of converting. Ultimately, it was decided it would be in our best interest to do so. People who believed in the old Æsir were still allowed to do so, but mostly in secret.
They could not make sacrifices anymore, but other customs, such as eating horse meat, were allowed.In 2004, Þingvellir became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. That means it has cultural, historical, scientific, or other forms of significance, which Þingvellir indeed has.
