We recommend joining this tour as one of your very first activities in Reykjavik (after checking into your hotel and dropping off your bags).

Our tour brings the history and culture of Iceland to life through fascinating stories, Icelandic mythology, and local legends. Perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers, this experience is both fun and educational.
Reykjavik Landmarks You’ll Visit
During the tour, you’ll explore the city center and visit many of Reykjavik’s top attractions, including:

In addition to these highlights, we’ll show you secret local spots—like visiting an Elf home—that most visitors would miss without a guide.
