Had a walking tour of Reykjavik today with Eiríkur and it was just awesome. Eiríkur was very funny but also very informative. He gave heaps of information about Reykjavik and Iceland, the local people and culture. Also told us some great tips on what to see and do around Reykjavik. Would really recommend this tour. Especially do it when you first get to Reykjavik to get your bearings of the place.
