Absolutely loved the cat walk with Einar! I learned so much about the area in addition to the cat theme of the tour. I experienced the cats of Reykjavík better than I ever could on my own. Unfortunately it was at the end of my trip, so I couldn't take advantage of the advice on exploring the city more. Thankfully I will be better prepared on my next visit!
