If you are interested in delving into Iceland’s history in the company of people who share your enthusiasm for discovery, we recommend that you peruse Tourfind’s range of historical tours for solo travellers in Iceland.

All our guided Iceland historical trips stop at Thingvellir, literally ‘Parliament Plains’, a World Heritage Area and the symbolic centre of the country’s democratic tradition. While in Reykjavik, drop in at the National Museum for a detailed foray into Iceland’s past throughout the centuries.  Be sure to visit the Skogar Museum complex on the south coast for a chance to see full-sized reconstructions of old Icelandic dwellings as well as myriad artefacts. In the north of the island, acquaint yourself with Iceland’s Viking past on Hrisey Island and at Borgarviki, a Viking fortress formed from basalt rocks.
