Highlights
  • Thingvellir National Park - Discover the awe-inspiring wonders of Hrafnagjá and Þingvellir National Park in Iceland, where nature and history converge in a spectacular display. Hrafnagjá, a dramatic ravine nestled within the park, offers a mesmerizing geological glimpse into the continental drift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
    As part of Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, this area holds cultural and historical significance. Þingvellir is not only the birthplace of the world’s first parliament, the Alþingi, convened in 930 AD but also a testament to the enduring spirit of Icelandic democracy. Wander through the Almannagjá gorge and stand on the Law Rock, where historic decisions were once made.
    Nature enthusiasts will be captivated by the park’s diverse landscapes, from the crystal-clear waters of Þingvallavatn, Iceland’s largest natural lake, to the rugged beauty of the surrounding lava fields.

Beautiful Privat Golden Circle Tour - We had booked the privat Golden Circle Tour. Our guide was Bjarni. It is highly recommended. A very nice person provided us with a lot of information. The tour itself was impressive and we would do it again. And he also paid great attention to our needs, what else we wanted to see. It was really very nice. He also gave us space and time when we wanted to eat something. It was really a very beautiful tour.

The Guide Matters - Bjarni is a Pro! - Our guide, Bjarni, also the owner of the Company, was early for our pick up in Reyjkavilk and as we drove out of town, shared a lot of history and explaining what we would see during the tour and offering us opportunities to customize our experience. He's very knowledgeable and experienced and his advice was key in tailoring our day with him. In addition to seeing all the "must sees", we went several places that the larger tours don't go and as a result, we often were either the only people where we stopped. Bjarni, explained each location and what we were seeing in an informative and entertaining way, knowing when to talk and when to let the incredible silence of this amazing natural setting be the "soundtrack". We highly recommend Bjarni and BTH Travel and would absolutely use him again. He helped provide us an experience of a lifetime.

Excellent Day and Fun and Interesting Stories - Bjarni provided an excellent personal commentary. He told many interesting stories from troll tales to his life growing up in the area. The Golden Circle was a life long bucket list item and we are so glad to have had Bjarni show us around.

Excellence Private Golden Circle Tour - We were fortunate (and surprised) to have ideal weather for this tour—sunny and mild. As a local, Bjarni provided an excellent summary of the planned trip stops plus some options. We were impressed with his extensive knowledge of his country plus his sharing of personal experiences growing up in Iceland. He is an excellent storyteller which complemented the factual information. We totally enjoyed spending the day with him.
