This day tour will take to the mystical hot springs in the Geysir area, Gullfoss and Þingvellir. The tours first stop is in the national park Þingvellir. This is the place where the worlds first national parliament was founded. It was established in 930 AD. Until 1798 sessions where held in this area. This beautiful place is situated on the American and European continental ridge, and it makes this a very special place.

The second stop for the day is The spectacular Gullfoss. A thundering waterfall that appears out of nowhere. It is an impressive two-step waterfall, and due to its natural surroundings you can get up really close to it, if you dare to. Be causious when walking around, the ground may be slippery.

The third stop is the truly impressive Geysir. It is unique and powerfull. The geysir blows boiling hot water 20 - 30 meters up in the air every 5-10 minutes. Have your cameras ready, and beware of the direction of the wind. 

Friðheimar is a tour center and greenhouse and it is Iceland's largest greenhouse. Here the participants will learn how to grow perfect and natural tomatoes with the help of geothermal heat. Friðheimar uses only Icelandic cold water and gets help of over 600 bumblebees to pollinate the tomatoes.

On this tour the guide will not just provide you with delicious food, but you will get a guided tour through the city. On your way through the charming city you will stop along several restaurants that serve traditional and excellent dishes from the Icelandic kitchen. This is a superb way to get familiar with the city and learn about Icelands culture and history. 

This tour takes about 4 hours, and it is a great way to get to know the city and you'll see where all the good restaurants are located. The guide takes you to six different restaurants and you will taste 2-3 tasters at each restaurant. 

The restaurants will give you traditional Icelandic food; Skyr, homemade Icecream, hot dogs, sea food and lamb. If you're brave enough you can taste some of the other "specialties" of the Icelandic kitchen; fermented shark, goat testicles and sheep heads. 

A great part of Icelands culture and history is the way they prepare and cook the food, and the guide will tell you all about the unique methods they have used over the years. 

This is truly a delicious way to experience Iceland, and we highly recommend this tour.
