Perfect introduction to Reykjavik - We loved our incredible private walking tour of Reykjavik with Bjarni! He did an exceptional job familiarizing us with this charming city, sharing fascinating historical details along the way. His storytelling was engaging, and his humor made the tour even more enjoyable. We loved learning more about Icelandic culture through his insights. It was the perfect introduction to Reykjavik, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

Right Amount of Time and Information - Perfect overview of the city, its’ rich history from architecture to why things are where they are! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and moved at our pace, while having great responses to our questions! Highly recommend it over a large group tour where you’re trying to hear the guide and not getting to ask questions. 10 plus!!

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!!!

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

Caught with cancelled flight and no refund on walking tour - We were caught in the Delta crowdstrike mess. I cancelled as soon as I realized we would be stuck in our connection city and would not arrive in time for the tour. It was less than 24 hours and we were denied our request for our money back. Not sure who decided that…TripAdvisor or the tour guide. But totally not our fault and I informed TripAdvisor as soon as I could. Very disappointing
