Tour fatto con Alvaro, guida eccellente. Ci ha spiegato storie e leggende di Reykjavík. Abbiamo appreso e visto la realtà di questa magnifica città. Grazie Alvaro e grazie Get Your Guide.

The guide was lovely, she told us about city’s history as well. It was very expensive for what it was and the group was large. I’d pay that for a private tour and include more dishes.
