Reykjavik (not than) well-known
Having been an Iceland lover for years, I was afraid that the information I would get during the Walking Tour are basic and addressed to "typical" tourists. I was surprised that our guide, Tómas, was not only shrewd and funny but also told us many things I have never heard before. I regret that I was not able to stay till the end of the tour, but it was a real good experience. Thanks!

Reykjavík “Free” Walking Tour
Great local info
An informative and fun tour round Reykjavik - thanks so much Jo.
Your humour was great and much appreciated, local info and little snippets are always so much better than the sometimes more formal tour guides and we love this system, having used it in other cities before.
Thoroughly recommend this.

5 stars!
The tour was great, I'm very glad I took it at the beginning of my trip since it helped me understand the city, a bit of the Icelandic mindset and the history of the country that influenced both. Sara, our tour guide, was respectful, knowledgeable and funny. I'd recommend it to any first timers!

10/10!
I was just in for ten hours on a layover and decided to go on a tour to get to know the city. I was presently surprised about the guide (Sarah?) and her great enthusiasm and I enjoyed getting to know more about the silly and inspiring history and present of Iceland.

Free walking tour
Eric was an absolutely amazing guide, so informative and funny at the same time. Two hours just flew by in his company. I would definitely recommend this tour to see the main sights of Reykjavík and also to get some ideas on what to do next.

Well spent walking tour
Eric was very knowledgeable. Without the tour we could have missed some local spots and understanding the history behind them. Great way to learn about Reykjavik/Iceland.

We went on this tour our last morning in Reykjavic and wished we had done it earlier in our visit because of all the information we received.

Our guide, Eric, was very interesting and energetic as he led us around the inner city while providing overviews of Icelandic history and education. The 2 hours flew by in spite of the rain. Eric also provided some interesting insights into their culture and a few money saving tips. In addition, if you give him your email at the end of the tour, you get an email full of things to do, places to eat, etc.

We have done free walks in other cities and enjoy them, not because they are free, but because the guides who are working for tips work so hard to make sure that you enjoy them. This was one of the best.

Superb Walking tour
We went on the Reykjavik 'Free' Walking Tour in Feb 2017 and were so pleased that we did. Joe was our guide and he really made the experience very enjoyable. He was extremely knowledgeable, witty and made the tour very interesting. We attended the Tour on our first morning in Reykjavik which just happened to be the day when over 80 cm of snow had fallen during the previous night! The tour still went ahead (other tours by other companies got cancelled) and was fun with all of the snow. We learned such a lot from Joe that morning and this saved us loads of time during our holiday as we could put our knowledge to good use. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting the beautiful city of Reykjavik to book up for this tour.

Reykjavik great free tour
We did this free walking tour on the 7th March.Tomos our guide was very well informed and knowledgeable on the history culture and current affairs of Reykjavik and Iceland in general.
He was very entertaining and kept things light but still got the important facts over.
Definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a good locals view of the city.
We gave a moderate tip but noticed many people on the tour legged it at the end without giving any tip. Come on guys considering the cost of everything in Iceland 1000Krona isn't much for two hours of great infotainment.
