Worth doing
Worth doing and we really loved our guide Anna. Unfortunately for us it rained for most of the time, so I urge you to bring an umbrella and rain clothes. She made the tour fun and interesting
A must-do for 1st time visitors
My 2nd day in Reykjavik, this tour definitely helped me get around the city better. I wish I remembered her name, she was a wonderful guide. Loved the mixture of humor & history. She answered every question & even gave us recommendations & directions to other activities & restaurants. After the tour, I had an easier time navigating the city on my own. Also, fellow guest were so personable. We all chatted along the way, enhancing the experience. Would highly recommend doing tour, especially if it’s your first time visiting Reykjavik
Not to miss
You’ll learn a lot of history on I-land and its capital. Covers a lot of ground & very informative..
Walking tour Reykjavik
This was a great experience of the historic centre of Reykjavik. Our guide Vil was very knowledgeable. The most fascinating part was that he was able to show us how he was descended from some of the original Vikings.
Highly recommend
Nori was our guide . He was great , provided us with lots of detail of the history of Iceland plus helpful tourists tips. He was very funny and likeable . Highly recommend.
