Gems of West Iceland

Welcome to Reykjavik - the picturesque capital of Iceland! Your driver meets you at the airport and transfers you to the famous Blue Lagoon, where you start your Iceland adventure with a relaxing visit to one of the most visited attractions in Iceland.

You have approximately 2 hours to soak up in the Northern sun while relaxing in warm geothermal seawater surrounded by a surreal lava field.

After this relaxing experience your private driver transfers you to your hotel for check-in.

In the morning after breakfast meet your guide-driver and set out on a scenic tour of Reykjavik and the surrounding area, combining the city’s historic landmarks, modern architecture, coastal scenery, and local culture. Explore the Old Harbour and Old Town, with photo stops at the City Pond and Town Hall, Parliament Building, Hallgrímskirkja Church, and the striking Harpa Concert Hall. Along the way, discover Reykjavik’s architectural development over the past 50 years, drive along the seaside boardwalk, and see the new US Embassy and other notable city landmarks.

Continue beyond the city center to Bessastaðir, the official residence of the President of Iceland. Drive through Garðabær and continue to Hafnarfjörður, a coastal town associated with Icelandic folklore and the legendary Huldufólk, or “hidden people.” See the town’s distinctive elf-related landmarks and stone homes while your guide shares stories of local traditions.

The tour concludes with a stop at Perlan, Reykjavik’s iconic dome-shaped landmark. Entrance tickets and any waiting time at Perlan are not included in the tour price. At the end of the city tour, you can either remain at Perlan to continue exploring at your own leisure or return to your hotel with the guide-driver.

After breakfast you join a group for a fascinating 8-hour tour around the Golden Circle.

The first highlight of your day trip is visiting the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site - Thingvellir National Park. The national pride of the country, the Thingvellir National Park has a very important historical significance - it is the place where the oldest existing parliament in the world (first assembled in 930 AD) is set. The “Althing” was held here for almost 9 centuries, until 1800. However, it is not only history that attracts thousands of visitors to this unique land.

Being part of a fissure zone running through Iceland, the Thingvellir area is a great lava arena in a rift valley formed between the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates and serves a visual representation of continental drift. The area also features the largest natural lake in Iceland - Thingvallavatn, surrounded by lava flows and lush vegetation. You then discover the picturesque Gullfoss - one of the most beautiful and popular waterfalls in Iceland.

Your next stop is the Geysir area scattered with hot springs, mud pools and geysers, including the famous geyser Strokkur - the world´s most active. After the tour you return to your Reykjavik hotel.
