Full description
This walking tour is your introduction to Reykjavik. It will help you get your bearings and make the most of your stay in Iceland. Your guide will be your friend in the city with the goal to make sure you have the best time while in Reykjavik. This family friendly tour brings the history of Iceland to life with interesting stories and Icelandic mythology. You’ll visit all of the famous landmarks in the city center such as Harpa concert hall, Hallgrímskirkja Church (your guide will teach you how to pronounce that) and the Reykjavik pond. Your guide will also share hidden, local spots with you; things you’d miss if you didn’t know what to look for. Your guide will show you their favorite places to eat, drink and visit plus insider info on the best happy hour deals, should you be interested. The tour lasts approximately two hours and you’ll walk around 4 kilometers. This is a small-group tour, meaning there will never be more than 12 people on a tour at a time so that your guide can answer all of your questions and you can get to know each other a bit better. The aim of this tour is for you to experience the unique, friendly atmosphere of Reykjavik, not just to see the most popular tourist attractions. You'll even get a small lesson on the Icelandic language from your guide so that you can not only walk like a viking, but talk like one too.

Meeting point

Meet up at Ingolfstorg Square in the center of Reykjavik by the two stone high seat pillars (over 2 meters high). The square is at the beginning of Austurstræti (Austurstræti 1) and is squared off by the streets Aðalstræti, Hafnarstræti, Veltusund and Vallarstræti. If you walk down Laugavegur (the main shopping street), please just continue all the way down until you come to the square. Walk straight down until the end. On the Ingolfur square itself you can see Center Hotel Plaza. It is recommended to use Google Maps because the Icelandic street names can be tricky.

Very nice experience. The guide was very informative. Besides we had the luck that on that day the guide had only my wife and me to do the Reykjavik tour. But it was not only Reykjavik he talked about. We also learned a lot of interesting facts about the history and nature of Iceland. And yes of course also of Reykjavik and its (political) history and buildings from long ago up till now. As we were walking he gave all kind of good tips where to go after the sightseeing. So I can recommend this tour very much. And by the way, it is a good idea to do this when you have just arrived in Reykjavik.

Our tour guide was lovely and knowledgable; we were given a full historic view of Reykjavík mixed with detail about the importance of folclore from the old to the modern Icelandic times. Our guide was also very thoughtful as she offered to take picture mementos of us thought the city which made the experience even more special.
