Excellent! Our guide was wonderful and kept the pace appropriate for my husband who has mobility issues. Although we didn’t see many cats, we learned a lot of interesting things about the city.

Or guide, Robyn, was fun and enthusiastic. The tour covered much more than cats and I learned a little about Reykjavik as we walked. Discovered places I wouldn't find on my own and saw some of the quirky cats of Reykjavik. Hot drink and a pastry at a cat café to finish the tour.
