Reykjavik Sightseeing including Gullfoss and Geysir Express Tour

Reykjavik, Iceland

Combine two tours in one for the perfect Icelandic experience: See the highlights of Reykjavik in the morning, then spend the afternoon touring Gullfoss, Geysir and other Icelandic natural phenomena. Perfect if you don't have much time at your disposal and want to make the most of your visit to Reykjavik.

Highlights of your morning include:

• The Presidential residence at Bessastadir home to Iceland's President.
• Visit the town of Hafnarfjordur, famous for having one of the largest settlements of mystical beings known as the "hidden folk".
• Restaurant Perlan is built on water tanks that hold the city's hot water supply. Enjoy the spectacular view over Reykjavik and its surroundings.
• Hofdi House where the all-important summit between President Ronald Reagan and Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev took place in 1986.
• Hallgrimskirkja church, one of the tallest structures in Iceland.
• Laugardalur's sport and recreation area, a geothermal heated outdoor swimming pool and sculptures crafted by Asmundur Sveinsson.

In the afternoon, your tour continues with the Gullfoss and Geysir Express half-day trip. The tour begins with a visit to Thingvellir, a geologically unique place where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. The Icelandic parliament Althingi was established here in 930, and in 2004 Thingvellir was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List.

You will also see the majestic and beautiful waterfall Gullfoss, the incredible spouting hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur. After a visit to the village of Hveragerdi, with its large greenhouses cultivating all manner of fruit, vegetables and flowers, the tour returns to the capital.

I was required to be ready a half hour before scheduled pick up time but they were 15 minutes late._br/_ City guide was good._br/_ Golden Circle guide had poor English skills and little information about Iceland. There was interesting things to see but poor leadership.

Great tour. Enjoyed it very much.

We were glad we took this trip. In winter, because of the limited daylight, it was probably best to do both the city and the out of town tours together. Our guide was great and made our day! Had a good handle on historical and present day Iceland. Would highly recommend this one!

This was excellent. In the morning we were the only two on the tour and had our own personal guide. The guides are very good and speak perfect English. The company is very well organised and we were picked up at our hotel on time and dropped off again afterwards. The tour itself was very interesting and informative.

This trip was ok. I done the golden circle trip and that was too similar to this one. I enjoyed the Reykjavic sightseeing

A really good trip to help us get our bearings, make sure we didn't miss any of the main things there are to see. We could then wander on a different day and see other things in our own time. Gulfoss and the geysirs were magnificent. The guide was also very good.

It was a good way to get a sense of orientation, though I felt it was not as exciting as it could have been.

Amazing scenery, very detailed commentary. The buses used by this firm were very new, clean and comfortable.
