Departure Point

Austurstræti 4 101, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland

We meet up at Ingolfstorg Square in the center of Reykjavik by the two stone high seat pillars (Over 2 meters high), The square is at the beginning of Austurstræti (Austurstræti 1) and is squared off by the streets Aðalstræti, Hafnarstræti, Veltusund, and Vallarstræti. If you walk down Laugavegur (The main shopping street) please just continue all the way down until you come to the square always walking straight down until you can't continue further. On the Ingolfur square itself, you can see Kvosin a small grocery market and finally Center Hotel Plaza. We recommend for people to use Google Maps or something similiar because the Icelandic street names can be tricky :).

Explore Reykjavik with a walk-through history
Tracy_G
, Dec 2021
I loved this tour - what a lovely city with a fascinating history. Our guide, Bardi, regaled us with the Icelandic sagas and stories of elves, trolls, and Vikings; as well as providing tips on Reykjavik - places to eat, sights to see, etc. Bardi also took some great group photos sending them to everyone that night.

Walking the city and meeting the Prime Minister!
Peter_O

We had a group of 8 and had an excellent tour with our Viking guide Bardi. He was pleasant and funny and gave us great insights into the city and country. He had tips for getting around the city and for places to eat - making sure we didn't overlap with our Food Tour the next day. As he talked in front of the Prime Minister's office, we were surprised by her stepping out of her car. As she walked past, she stopped and said hello. It was the highlight of everyone's day!! Thanks!

We took this tour on our first full day in Reykjavic and it was a brilliant way to start our holiday by learning about the city and to get our bearings a bit. Our guide was fabulous - on time and very friendly and knowledgeable, and gave us lots of tips about where to eat or drink and which supermarkets to use etc. I would recommend this tour as a great way to explore the city.

We had a personalized tour with Stefan (no one else signed up) and felt in no way that he skimped on the details. He was a wealth of historical information, told with humor and what I would call an Icelandic nonchalance. Great intro to Reykjavik and highly recommended for your first day!
