Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk
Description
Informative and funny walking tour around Reykjavik in a small group. Famous landmarks are visited, history of the city is brought to life and you are introduced to local culture. The tour starts on the highest elevated point in town, is wheelchair accessible and all downhill, also ideal for children. The small size of the group makes it flexible for stops indoors in cold weather and the lengthy tour makes it relaxed as if you are with a new Icelandic friend.

Wonderful, good pace. Very interesting, nice point of view from a resident. Friendly ~ took our photo's, very helpful with our numerous questions.
We had the pleasure of taking this tour on June 15th at 2PM. I only get that specific because I want to make sure our guide gets the credit she deserves! I believe her name was Ella, but I do apologize if I’ve got that wrong. Our guide took us on an extensive tour of the city, stopping and speaking to us many times as we hit every major section of the town. This was not my first time in Reykjavík, but I still saw many things for the first time on this tour. My mother is recovering from back surgery and is moving a bit slowly, but the guide was very attentive in making sure she always heard the information and did not get left behind. I would definitely recommend this tour to get acquainted with Reykjavík.
Wonderful walking tour of Reykjavik. Thor was informative and kept our small group interested. Highly recommend.
Great tour! Thor was a great guide! This was a 2 hour tour. We saw so much of downtown. This was a great way to start the trip
Easy walk mostly downhill. Tour guide was entertaining. Gives a brief history of the settlement of Iceland .
A fantastic tour with our guide THOR. He conveyed all the information in such an interesting and compact way that it made one eager to learn more about the city and its history! Highly, highly recommended and worth a reasonable tip! I highly recommend this tour with CITY WALKS!
Oli was a very pleasant local. It's the hidden gems and stories which really add value to a walking tour and brings the city to life, rather than reading from a book. Thoroughly enjoyed our tour.
We learned a lot - it was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you Jacob! (But be sure to wear good walking shoes!)
