Overview

Private Walk With a Viking - Reykjavik Walking Tour Our Reykjavik walking tour is your introduction to our country. It will help you get your bearings and make the most of your stay in Iceland. We recommend it as your first stop in Reykjavik. 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, Reykjavik Pond, and the Parliament building. But, we’ll also share hidden, local spots with you like a visit to an Elf home, 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’ll be showing you our favorite places to eat, drink and visit.

Meeting points

We meet up by the two stone pillars at Ingólfur Square in old town Reykjavik.

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!!!

Great start!
