4.00This was a fun way to get to get to see some of the sites of Reykjavik and see a bit of the history at a pace which suited us. We ambled the ~4 mile route, with a number of non-scavenger hunt stops, over a 6 hour period. Enjoyment is unsurprisingly quite weather dependent.
Nice way to see the sights

4.00Fun thing to do to see some sights in Reykjavik. The questions weren't too easy or too hard. Cheap way to see things which is unusual in Iceland!
Very nice little tour

5.00Greats to see important parts of Reykjavik with a little explanation. Not to difficult riddles and a fine distance.
Great trail!

4.00Really good trail. Loads to see and good clues. The write ups at each clue were a bit repetitive but other than that a great trail! Would recommend.
A must do to see more of the city!

5.00I’ll be honest I wasn’t expecting much but I actually really enjoyed the walk and some of the riddles/questions were hard but very clever I think there was only one that I still don’t understand even with the answer? But overall really good walk and informative!
