Iceland & South Greenland 2010
9 days / 8 nights, Reykjavik - Gullfoss - Geysir - Þingvellir - Narsarsuaq - Reykjavik | Our semi-escorted tour provides you with the freedom to travel on your own, combined with knowledgeable guides on your excursions. Experience the capital of Iceland – a modern metropolis with the amazing nature on its doorstep. Reykjavik was founded by the Vikings and the Icelandic society is still under influence of the Viking spirit, which they brought further west 1000 years ago when they settled in South Greenland. Today the ruins bare witness of their farms and churches. You will visit the old Viking settlements and experience the Arctic nature which is quite different to what you have seen in Iceland. A stay in Reykjavik combined with a visit to South Greenland is a superb blend of these two North Atlantic destinations.
