What To Expect

Pingvellir National Park

Thingvellir National Park is known for both historical and geological matters. On the one hand, this is the place where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates split. On the other, it is a symbolically important place in the history of the formation of the Icelandic nation, the place of national assembly since the time of the first settlers of the Viking Age.

Fantastic day with Sergei! We saw the amazing highlights of the Golden Circle with the most knowledgeable and personable guide you could ask for! Not another cattle call big bus tour, this is a high-quality, wonderful introduction to the sights and natural beauty of this incredible volcanic island!

We arranged this tour as we were travelling with our two children, 4 and 8 years old and felt it gave us a little more flexibility, comfort and personalisation. Sergei was a fantastic guide. Before the tour he was happy to exchange a number of emails answering our questions and informing us of what to plan for. The 4x4 minivan is very comfortable and capable. Sergei is endless font of knowledge, not just of the main attractions but general information. Along the way he also offered small stops to see some of the other interesting spots on the route in addition to the 3 main stops which added to the personalisation. Thoroughly recommend!!

The best experience with Denis and Maria. We participated in 1 day tour and it was wonderful. You can't find better hosts. All the time they accompany you and are watching over us. They take the best pictures! They have a lot of information and answer your doubts. Highly recommended.
Sergei is the Greatest Guide Ever

We booked a private tour for the Golden Circle and the South Coast combined. It was fantastic. Couldn’t have been more informative, courteous and helpful. It wasn’t cheap. We took another tour the second day with a larger company and a larger group. It was very disappointing compared to the quality of our day with Top Iceland Tour. You get what you pay for is certainly true in this case.
