5.00Our walking tour of Reykjavik with friends during our three-day stay in Iceland was wonderful. Our guide, Asgrimur Gunnarsson, was quite personable, showed us interesting local streets, the stunning Harpa Concert Hall, informed us about the classic Icelandic hotdog, which we tasted and enjoy a few times while there, and gave us great suggestions for the rest of our stay. Thanks to Asgrimur we explored the area around our hotel with ease.
Awesome Tour!

5.00Luca was a legend! Such a knowledgeable guide, and he was so accommodating. It would have taken us a week on our own ti see everything we saw in two hours.
A must-see

5.00Good communication from Luca ensured we knew exactly where to meet & identify him. He was friendly, engaging,extremely knowledgeable and very interesting. During the walk around the town Luca pointed out places of historical interest, buildings of national & local importance as well as relating ancient folklore. We enjoyed eating in several of his restaurant recommendations and were not disappointed. He was able to answer all the questions we had and even provided a wee sample of the traditional snack & spirit of Iceland. An excellent introduction to Reykjavik - highly recommend this as an essential start to your visit.
