We start the tour by driving to Iceland’s first National Park, the Þingvellir National Park. This is the birthplace of a nation as well as of the first Icelandic democracy when the Viking chieftains decided to establish their first Parliament (Althingi) or general assembly in 930 A.D. Many events took place in the area including the introduction of Christianity in the year 1000 A.D., the declaration of independence from the Danish Kings on June 17, 1944. Besides its historical and cultural importance, the park displays unique geology and natural landscapes. There, one can learn and understand the tectonic activity or the so called the continental drift, the boundary between North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Þingvellir is one of the only sites on earth where the effects of two major tectonic plates drifting apart can be observed. Famous for its outstanding natural beauty, Þingvellir National Park served as one of the main filming locations of Game of Thrones in Iceland. There, you can experience the site the same way encountered or seen by the cast of the White Walkers and the trail of the Wildlings from North of the Wall. After a short walk through the area, we continue towards the Geysir geothermal area. There, you have enough time to discover Strokkur, one of the most active Geysers in the world. It spouts hot water and steam at the height of 20–25 metres every 5–8 minutes. After a lunch break in the area, we head towards Gullfoss 'Golden Waterfall', Europe’s second most powerful waterfall. It is located on the Hvítá, the 'White River', one of Iceland’s major Glacier rivers. Return to the hotel for your overnight stay. Meals: Breakfast
