But Þingvellir isn’t just a natural wonder—it’s also a place of great historical significance. This is where Icelanders founded their parliament in 930 A.D., with chieftains gathering here every summer for their annual meeting.

    Our guide Angie was knowledgeable. we toured many many locations all in a van for the 5 of us. Ours was a 6 day trip. The accommodations outside Reykjavík were pleasantly comfortable given their remoteness and the food in a couple of places quite good. The weather gods were good with some rain but none at our spots where we stopped. Lucky there! The highlights of the trip were the Ice Cave tour (about a kilometer of walking but worth every step) and the geothermal plant that supplies Reykjavik’s power. Very informative tour Mariana Travel (Elena and others) was superb to work and exceedingly accommodating.
