ITINERARY

Your walking tour guide will meet you at Ingólfstorg (Ingolfur Square). You need to reach the spot 5 minutes before the starting time. This tour will introduce you to the city of Reykjavik and help you make the most of your stay in Iceland.  Your expert city guide will provide live tour commentary in English narrating the history of the area and Icelandic mythology as you slowly walk by. We have even included a small lesson on the Icelandic language so while enjoying your tour with a Viking tour guide you also get to talk a little in the local language. This 2-hour walk is for people of all ages and we will cover around 4km. Since it is an outdoor tour and Iceland’s weather is very unpredictable, you need to dress according to the weather.

On this Reykjavik Walking tour you will get to discover some of the top attractions in the city, such as HArpa Concert Hall, Reykjavik Harbour, Hallgrimskirkja Church, Reykjavik Pond and the Parliament building. We will even teach you how to pronounce Hallgrimskirkja.
