Reviews
Not much mentioned about “ghosts” but the stores and historical facts were very interesting. The guide had a great sense of humour as well which made the experience what it was.
Petra was an incredible guide. We asked her to show us as much as she could before taking our crazy family of 10 to the airport for our flights to three different cities ! First stop was the beautiful church in downtown Reykjavik that had just opened with an organ recital. Next stop a lovely spot and observation sight overlooking the city by the Pearl. Cold and wet she found us a lovely coffee shop with the best pastries for a welcome mid morning rest next to the sea. Back in the van we drove for a bit before having the opportunity to explore a geothermal field on our way to the airport. A perfect day and ending to our time in Iceland. Petra shared alot of history and information from the perspective of a local which we all appreciated and enjoyed!
We enjoyed the tour quite a lot. We got to walk around a lot and saw plenty adorable cats, they were all relatively friendly and fluffy. We were told a few facts about them in iceland as well, such as the yule cat for example. The cafe we made a stop at was also very nice, the drinks were delectable as well as the pastry we got, the cats there were also adorable. Our guide Stefan was also nice, he was very amiable and conversational, he asked us some questions and had a decent sense of humor. In general our experience was lovely and we would recommend it to any fellow cat lovers planning to visit iceland.
