Reykjavik Walking Tour - Walk with a Viking
Our Reykjavik walking tour is your introduction to Reykjavik. It will help you get your bearings and make the most of your stay in Iceland. We recommend it as your first stop. You'll be shown where the Vikings first settled and how Reykjavik developed into the country’s capital.
Our family-friendly tour brings the history of Iceland to life with exciting stories and Icelandic mythology. We’ll visit all of the famous landmarks in the city center, such as Harpa Concert Hall, Reykjavik Harbour, Hallgrímskirkja Church (we’ll teach you how to pronounce that), Reykjavik Pond and the Parliament building.
But, we’ll also share hidden, local spots with you like a visit to an Elf stone; things you’d miss if you didn’t know what to look for. We want you to feel the unique, friendly atmosphere of our quirky little city, not just to see the most popular tourist attractions.
We will also point out our favorite places to eat, drink and visit in Reykjavik so your time here is well spent.
