Super Einstieg um Reykjavik kennenzulernen. Unser Guide Stephen konnte uns viele humorvolle Geschichte über die Katzen erzählen. Der Umgang mit den Katzen war immer sehr respektvoll. Sehr schön war auch der Stop im malerischen Innenhof zu Café und Gebäck.

Bardi was an amazing host and his love of cats and Iceland in general really shown through. He does these tours for his passion, not out of obligation. The tour was a perfect meowx of history, folklore, and the famous kitties of Reykjavík that are all purrfect in their own ways.

This was a super fun way to get to know the town and the cats of Reykjavík! We got to meet five out of six or seven that the guide hoped we would see. Stefán was a great guide, knowledgeable, personable, and a great sense of humor. He really knows a lot about the cats and their history and was also a wealth of information when people had other questions. I also enjoyed the shortstop at Café Babalu, where we had our choice of hot chocolate, coffee, or tea. Dimma, who is normally at the lake, happened to be hanging out in the garden and we got to spend some time with her!
