Iceland · CITY TOURS
The capital is small enough to cross on foot and strange enough to want explaining. The 7 below cover the walking tours, the food walks and the bus loops, priced, timed and marked for the ones that run in the dark months.
See Reykjavik’s harbor, museums, Perlan, Hallgrimskirkja, and more by flexible hop-on hop-off bus with multilingual audio.
“It was nice to get information on Reykjavik during the bus ride. Good to know is that the bus doesn't automatically stop at each stop so let the driver know in advance when you want to get off.”
Save on Reykjavík museums, geothermal pools, buses, and the Viðey ferry with a flexible 24, 48, or 72-hour city card.
“It was easy to pick up a card at the first museum I entered. Due to rainy wet weather I didn’t use it anywhere else”
Review of Reykjavik’s hop-on hop-off bus, with 16 stops, audio commentary, practical timing advice, and honest value notes.
“It wasn’t that great. The seats on the bus are like sitting on wood benches. There were around 10 of us sitting on the top and the heater was on full blast, we were roasting. Someone asked for the heat to be turned off, it wasn’t. Really not worth it as it didn’t stop at any attractions we wanted so we still walked A LOT. It was a disappointment.”
Airport Direct connects Keflavik Airport with Reykjavik by bus, WiFi, phone charging, and hotel drop-off, though a city transfer may be required.
“For our ride from the airport, the Tour operator changed and lots of confusion with new operator, lots of waiting and long delays getting to our hotel. We decided to cancel our bus transport back to the airport and will go with a ride share. I hope Viator provides some sort of compensation for our bad experience.”
Explore Reykjavik on foot with local guide Luca, tasting Icelandic snacks while seeing street art, landmarks, history, and useful food tips.
“This tour gives a perfect overview of important places in Reykjavik along with useful history of the historical development of Iceland. The guide, Luca, was great. He paced the tour well, had deep knowledge of the city and country, and could answer a broad range of questions. Plus, he had a very nice sense of humor. I liked it that he limited his group to 10 people because that made it easy to hear him and easy to talk with and enjoy the other people on the tour.”
Walk Reykjavík with a local guide, from Hallgrímskirkja to Harpa and Alþingi, in a small, easy-paced group for $51.
“An excellent tour guide who knew a great deal and took her time to explain things to us Highly worth booking this tour”
