    If it's your first time in Iceland and you want to see the top sites, this guided tour from Reykjavik lets you skip the hassle of driving. Your guide takes you to the three elements of the Golden Circle, Iceland's most popular tourist route. At Thingvellir National Park explore a canyon that sits between the European and American continents; see the geyser Strokker shoot hot water into the air at Geysir, then continue to Gullfoss to see the huge waterfall plunge 105 feet (32 meters) below.
