Reviews
I enjoyed each stop except for the hot dog because it was very uncomfortable standing in the cold rain to munch on a hot dog. Everything would have been excellent if it hadn’t been for the weather. Stephan was a good leader, very pleasant and knowledgeable and he was able to talk about his own childhood growing up in Iceland and what they were eating.
I did the cat tour with Kristin. She was very knowledgeable and informed about all things cat in Reykjavík and lots of other local tidbits.
Lauren was a purrrrr-fect guide for the Cats of Reykjavik tour. She was knowledgeable and so fun! You could tell she loves these cats and we had a fantastic time getting to meet the city's feline residents!
