In 930 AD the country’s first natonal assembly was established there by Iceland’s early settlers. Þingvellir is also where the American and Eurasian continental plates are dramatically pulling apart at an annual rate of 2 cm. It’s also where the country’s largest natural lake is to be found, Þingvallavatn

Excellent Day out, Great Value for Money and Lovely Tour Guide (Darren) and Service! - This was a really excellent tour with Darren who were really welcoming and lovely; this was a great trip and I'd definitely reccomend this to anyone who wants to go on a really interesting day excursion with some really great tour guides :) The plan of the excursion itself was great, seeing the national park, geysirs, waterfalls and visiting the Secret Lagoon- it made for a really unique day and the coach itself was super comfortable (and a lovely way to get around). I'd 100% reccomend this trip and Darren did a great job :) I'd also add that the tour operators made it very easy for myself and my friend to get around; we had to switch coach at the end of our Secret Lagoon visit to return to Reykjavik, as we were the only two visiting the Secret Lagoon and had to get a lift back on a different coach, but this was done seamlessly and we felt very well looked after. And the entrance fee for the Secret Lagoon was included, which was excellent. A great day and trip :)

Great Experience! - I booked three tours (Northern Lights, Golden Circle, and South Coast - Glacier Lagoon and Black Diamond Beach) as well as my airport pick up and drop off with this company and they were AMAZING! They were friendly and knowledgeable about the areas and activities. They were on time and had everything so well coordinated. I would highly recommend them for your trip!

Snow keeps falling on my head - Sadly I picked the day with snow and virtual white out so most photographs look like they are in black and white. The guide was great and did he's best to overcome the weather with information and local knowledge. The secret lagoon was wonderful, where else could you swim in a bath temperature pool with snow falling on your head!

Very good experience with... - Very good experience with the tour in general. We opted for the extended version with the secret lagoon entrance, however when we got picked up by the following tour after our visit to the lagoon, we asked to be dropped off at bus stop 14. The tour director told us that bus stop 5 was a 2 minute walk from 14 and not knowing the area we followed her directive. We ended up walking 40 minutes to our hostel near bus stop 14. It was not appreciated since we paid for a direct pick up and drop off.
