Reykjavik
We follow in the footsteps of the British invasion of Iceland, using period photos and videos to take us back in time to it. Despite the serious subject this tour is lighthearted and also looks at the social and cultural effects of World War 2 in Iceland. Subjects we talk about include; - US Military Presence - The Arctic Convoys - Changes in diet - Young Icelanders learning to dance to Rock and Roll

Lucky was fantastic, not only was she funny and informed but she also gave us great pointers as to where to go for more information. When she learnt I was interested in the Cod Wars she made sure to include some of that for me in the tour. Probably my favorite tour during my time in Reyjakvic. A must for sure
