This has always been a first for us when we travel. Good way to get "feel for the land". Only problem is making a reservation for Perlan as there is no way to know what time you'll arrive. I notice when you get off there is still a bit of walking involved.
Thank you so much Marie for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that taking the City Sightseeing Reykjavík tour has become a favourite way for you to get a first feel for a destination. We appreciate your feedback regarding visiting Perlan. We understand that planning a timed reservation can be challenging when exploring the city with a Hop-On Hop-Off service, as journey times may vary depending on traffic and how long you choose to spend at each stop. We also appreciate your comment about the walking distance from the stop and will take your feedback into consideration. Thank you for choosing City Sightseeing Reykjavík, and we hope you continue enjoying this way of discovering new destinations on your travels!
Good way to see the major highlights of the city. The City Tour app shows the bus positions so it's easy to plan your arrivals at the bus stop.

Reykjavik was a more hilly and spread out than we thought it would be so we utilized the HopOn-HopOff make our way around the city to the various sites we wanted to see. Buses were full but we always found seats as they were running enough buses to keep up with the demand. Most helpful thing to know, listen to the audio if you want to know when to get off as they don’t announce stops!
Dear Paul, Thank you very much for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you found the City Sightseeing Reykjavik Hop-On Hop-Off bus a convenient way to get around the city and visit the sights you wanted to see.

We hope you enjoyed discovering Reykjavik with City Sightseeing and that we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future! Best regards, The City Sightseeing Reykjavik Team
A good way to get an overview of the city. Two criticisms- the frequency of the buses is not great- we had to wait over 45 minutes between buses, conversely because it appeared there was only one bus running- the driver drove very fast and there was not much time to view the sights
Dear Chris, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your City Sightseeing Reykjavik experience. We’re pleased to hear that you found the tour a good way to get an overview of the city. We’re sorry, however, that the frequency of the buses resulted in a wait of over 45 minutes and that you felt the journey itself was too fast to properly enjoy the sights. We understand how important both a reliable service frequency and a comfortable pace are when exploring Reykjavik. Your comments are very valuable to us, and we have shared them with the relevant local team so they can be taken into consideration when reviewing the service. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable City Sightseeing experience on a future visit to Reykjavik. Best regards, The City Sightseeing Reykjavik Team
The tour was mostly an infomercial. When told to look right, the item was on the left and viceversa.
For a hop on hop off bus, this bus was stuck at the BSI bus terminal for over 20 minutes without any warning or notice! We need to be back on the ship in a certain time and this was totally inappropriate.
We’re sorry to hear that your experience in Reykjavik did not meet your expectations. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will share your feedback with the local team so the situation can be reviewed. If you would like us to look into your experience further, please contact our Customer Service team directly and we’ll be happy to assist you.
Great way to get an overview of the city. Stops were well marked, buses were clean and headsets were provided for audio. The audio could have been more comprehensive but the route maps gave us most info that we wanted to determine our stops.

Relaxing way to see the city. Very informative & and easy way to learn your way around town.
This is one of the worst Hop-On Hop-Off bus tours that we have been on. Buses were relatively infrequent being every thirty minutes. Passengers were not allowed to board on a couple of occasions because the bus was full, meaning another 30 minute wait in the cold weather. On one occasion the driver was persuaded to let us board, provided that we stood during the journey. We were not offered maps of the route or headsets to plug in to the sockets to access the commentary. Because of this it was very difficult to get our bearings as to where we were on the route. I have been on some good Hop-On Hop-Off buses around the world but this was not one of them.
Stops although easy to find after you have taken the tour once, are not readily apparent. Tour itself was basic and a good was to spend a couple of hours and get a better feel for the area.

We understand how important clear and easily identifiable stops are for a Hop-On Hop-Off experience, and we’ll share your feedback with the local team for consideration.
