Fun walking tour of Reykjavik . Luca was funny and full of historical information. Great way to learn about the city and the country . In addition he pointed out places to eat and shop. A fun afternoon .
This was an excellent tour for gaining an understanding of the history of Reykjavik. Luca was an exceptional guide. He was very knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining. We learned a lot of history and saw areas we never would have discovered on our own. Luca also shared restaurant and activity recommendations, and he a fabulous job of making the entire tour very enjoyable for everyone. I would highly recommend Luca’s tour of Reykjavik.

The tour was great. Luca was our tour guide and he was a triple threat -- informative, funny and entertaining. He was always ready to answer any question. And his enthusiasm for his subject matter was infectious. I learned so much about the history of the city, the sagas and the Icelandic culture. The tour could not have been better. I had the best dinner of my life at the Seafood Grill on his recommendation. OMG!! As an added highlight of the tour we met Volvo ... he is such a star.

We loved this excursion. Luca was a great guide. He is so knowledgeable. Seeing the different styles of architecture, and learning the history of the buildings (and of Iceland and Reykjavik) was very interesting. It was cool to taste the local food & drink. I feel like I knew how to get around the city on our own after the tour.
