    A great National Park.

    A great national park in the Reykjavik area. The view from the point of view is just fantastic. Just one hour away from the city. Don't miss it.

    Magical

    Starting from the car park you face a short but steep climb which, at the turn of the bend offers a truly magical panorama: walls covered in snow and small waterfalls, wide panorama and lots of small trees

    Highly recommended!

    What a delightful tour! My husband and I booked this tour before getting on a cruise ship. Our lovely guide, Anna, was excellent, and a wealth of information. The park was beautiful, and the drive there was interesting and in a comfortable vehicle. I highly recommend this tour!

    Highly Recommend this Tour Company!

    Wow! From the very start of the tour and meeting guide Villi at our hotel, this was an incredible way to spend the day seeing some of the sights of Iceland. Villi was so knowledgeable and went out of his way to drive the more scenic routes and to take the “road less traveled” making for a unique experience seeing Iceland through the eyes of a local. The benefit of a private tour is that your guide gets to know you and your interests, so you learn about the things that matter to you. For us, that was all about Icelandic history but also about the geothermal technology (amazing!) and all of the ways Iceland is working to stop climate change. We can’t recommend this tour company enough- we will be returning to Iceland again (there is so much more yet to see) and will definitely be booking with Prime Tours again!

    Gorgeous day in the National Park!

    Our day was magical thanks to our guide Karl! We had a lovely drive out to the park about one hour. Time went quickly in the car as Karl entertained us with facts and lore. Once at the park we were enthralled with the beauty. Coming from Colorado we are surrounded by nature’s beauty but even we were very impressed. We do hike but for those who don’t- this is not difficult just wear appropriate footwear. Karl as a former park ranger knows so much more about the geology and geography. We had lots of questions regarding the flora and he knew the answers. His hobby is photography of birds and once again he could inform us. Karl has a deep knowledge of the Vikings and we loved hearing those stories as well. My husbands dream was to stand on the teutonic plates which he did albeit nowadays on a bridge above. We also visited the hydropower plant and drove along the pipeline- the afternoon went oh so quickly and it was an amazing excursion! Make sure you ask for Karl at Prime tours!

    Exclusive Thingvellir National Park Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Exclusive Thingvellir National Park Private Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $461 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Exclusive Thingvellir National Park Private Day Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Exclusive Thingvellir National Park Private Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Exclusive Thingvellir National Park Private Day Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Exclusive Thingvellir National Park Private Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Exclusive Thingvellir National Park Private Day Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Exclusive Thingvellir National Park Private Day Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Exclusive Thingvellir National Park Private Day Tour?

    +

    Included: WiFi on board; Air-conditioned vehicle; Bottled water; Private transportation; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Food. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Exclusive Thingvellir National Park Private Day Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Exclusive Thingvellir National Park Private Day Tour offered in?

    +

If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
