We did a cat walk tour. Our guide Robyn was great! The tour was very informative. It was nice to learn about the history of Iceland while on the hunt for some of well known cats around Reykjavik.

Einar was the best guide I have ever had in all my travels. His tour is rich and complete, yet never boring. He is incredibly passionate and engaged, making it an absolute pleasure to listen to him. His tour is unique, with plenty of musical and cultural references, as well as a touching personal touch that makes the experience even more special. I was truly delighted to discover Reykjavik and Icelandic culture with Einar. I couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you so much, Einar!
