“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.”
