Lauren was a fantastic guide! We got to meet several cats and learn more about the history of Reykjavik along the way. Highly recommend for anyone who loves cats and wants to walk and learn more about the streets and icons of downtown Reykjavik!
Bardi, the outstanding guide, was very knowledgeable on Icelandic history, mythology and the city. He blended mythology, city, and cats. This was the best tour I every took. Well worth it and highly recommended. The cats were wonderful and all had their own personalities. It was a treat to experience how the cats are love, respected, and part of this wonderful city. It was more than just cats. A MUST for all cat lovers. Thank you Bardi for a wonderful and memorable day.
This is a fun and very informative tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable on Nordic mythology and Icelandic history. He took us to meet his 3 cats; as well as the local “celebrity” cats. You’re also treated to a hot drink and treat at one of the local cafes. I highly recommend this tour.
Bardi was a wonderful guide. The tour was perfectly tailored to our ages and physical capabilities, and we met many cats, as well as getting great stories and truths about Iceland.
Maria G was very personable, and knowledgeable about the history of Reykjavik. Had a great time learning about the history of the area whilst searching for the local cats!
Maria G. was a fantastic guide! She was very knowledgeable and knew that best places to spot the feline celebrities! We enjoyed the fun facts and stories she told, as well as the recommendations she made! We highly recommend this tour and definitely Maria G. a guide!
Our first day in Iceland we went on the Cat Tour! It was a great way to start our vacation. Bardi was an awesome guide. He was friendly, up-beat and very knowledgeable. We spent the rest of our trip looking for the locals (the cats) and matching them with what Bardi told us their names were. Excellent tour.
We had the best tour guide: Kristin. She was lovely and knowledgeable. We were able to see many cats including a few of the “famous” Reykjavík cats. And had a wonder break at the cat cafe. We learned a lot of about the city as we went on our tour. Highly recommend the tour and Kristin!
Our guide, Barda, was great, and he gave us a very whimsical and fun tour around the main downtown area in Reykjavik. Seeing how local shop owners treat street cats so humanely (some of them would lay on top of brand new clothing items inside those shops) was so refreshing. The cats themselves were classic feline characters. We also learned about the history and some folklore of this beautiful and mysterious land. The Cat Cafe was the best part for me, knowing that the owners there will host cats until they get adopted made my day. I will recommend this tour to every cat lover out there.
We had a blast, we got to see lots of cats! Enjoyed this tour! Would highly recommend if you love cats
Dear Jill, This makes us smile so much! 😻 We’re absolutely thrilled that you had a blast and got to see lots of cats, that’s exactly what we hope for on this tour! 🐾 It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that you’d recommend it to fellow cat lovers. Reykjavík’s feline friends truly make the adventure extra special. 🐈✨ We would love to welcome you back for another purr-fect adventure next time you’re in town! With gratitude and warm regards Steina Your Friend In Reykjavík & Team
