The Golden Circle Guided Bus Tour from Reykjavik
Embark on a captivating 6,5-hour tour from Reykjavik to experience Iceland's Golden Circle. This adventure includes visits to three iconic natural wonders: the Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall, and Þingvellir National Park. Your journey features the Geysir geothermal area, where you'll witness Strokkur geyser erupting with boiling water every few minutes. Next, marvel at the majestic Gullfoss waterfall as it cascades into a rugged canyon, creating mist and rainbows that capture the raw beauty of Icelandic nature. The tour also includes Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site of great historical and geological significance. Here, the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. Walk through this unique landscape and explore the birthplace of the Icelandic parliament, Alþingi, established in 930 AD.
