5.00It was so much fun getting to know the city with Luca as our guide. He has a wealth of knowledge. The tour really gives you a good grounding in this beautiful city. And it’s a perfect length, 2.5 hours. It was a very windy day so dress appropriately. You are outside with exception of going into the church.

5.00A great introduction to a wonderful city. Walking is the only way to experience this city and Lucas is the perfect guide. Incredibly knowledgeable and focused on the customer experience. Easy to understand and quick to explain anything you don’t understand or want to know.
Luca is a fantastic advocate for Reykjavík.

5.00Our tour of Reykjavík with Luca was certainly time extremely well spent. Luca shared many fascinating stories with us, gave us insight into the history of Reykjavík’s founding and development, offered helpful tips, and happily answered all our questions. I visited this extraordinary place with my teenage son, who—when asked which attraction he enjoyed the most—replied that it was precisely the walk around Reykjavík with Luca. It is worth noting that we also visited the South Coast, went whale watching, and even set out in search of the Northern Lights—so the competition was stiff—yet in my teenager's eyes, Luca proved to be unrivaled. It is also worth mentioning that treating us to local sweets and drinks was an incredibly kind gesture on his part. Yes, this is definitely an experience I highly recommend.
