Perfect walking tour in Reykjavic - The tour was excellent! Our guide Oli was very nice person, knowlegeable, and helpful. He walked us through the city of Reykjavic and showed lots of interesting and beautiful spots of this marvelous city. He was absolutely proficient in English and had even visited twice our country, Uruguay. I would highly recommed the tour to all people coming to Iceland!

Great way to see the city - Arnar was a wonderful guide and a descendant of the first settler. We learned much about the history of Iceland and Reykjavík and had an enjoyable walk around the city. The recommendations were spot on and Arnar has a great sense of humor. Highly recommend, but be prepared for the weather!!!

Excellent tour, entertaining guide! - Einar was a wonderful guide - knowledgeable, entertaining and flexible (it was pouring rain, so he adjusted accordingly and took us to a delightful little bookstore/cafe for part of the tour). Took tons of photos for us and sent us a link promptly. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a flavor of Reykjavik.

Nice to learn the history - The guide was informative, however, she appeared to talk like she had a script in her head. She was funny but at times she appeared to be more about the performance than connectivity with her tourists. She was very nice but did not give us directions to get back to hotel or meeting place and said goodbye to us in the store We thought the walk was from 3-6 but she said it was just 2 hrs We were happy for that as we stood out in the very cold weather and were freezing

A walk with a Viking - Our guide was well informed and knowledgable about the culture and history of Reykjavik. Unfortunately we had to leave the tour after a couple of hours due to another commitment.

A couple’s tour - Maybe it’s more a reflection of us that the tour. Einad was a great guy and entertaining. But we were cold and were hoping to see more of the main sights rather than purely historical points of interest. We are too energetic and switched off so probably needed something more to keep our attention. As I say- it’s more about us than the tour but we just thought it was ‘ok’. X

Unsympathetic to Travel woes with CROWDSTRIKE DELTA issue - I was caught in the DELTA meltdown and called to cancel my tour the second I realized that I would not land in time to take it. I respectfully asked for a refund, as it was a WW issue that I had NO control over. I was told that the tour operator would not refund my money.
