Luca was an informative guide and kept us engaged the whole time. Really enjoyed learning the history of Reykjavik from him. He gave us restaurant and bar pointers and places to visit! Highly recommend this tour as a starting point.
Luca was an incredible tour guide. We loved the fokelore and little details he shared. We had a younger member of our family who still enjoyed the he history because Luca made sure to engage her and even give her candy! Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone in Reykjavik.
This has to be the best way to immerse yourself in Reykjavík. Luca was an excellent guide. His enthusiasm and explanations were wonderful.

Marco was a great guide. Highly recommend booking with him. We learned a lot about Reykjavík and its history. We saw most of the older areas of the town and highly recommend this tour. Excellent!!!
We don't have any guide called Marco but thanks a lot for the great review!!
Our walking tour of Reykjavik with friends during our three-day stay in Iceland was wonderful. Our guide, Asgrimur Gunnarsson, was quite personable, showed us interesting local streets, the stunning Harpa Concert Hall, informed us about the classic Icelandic hotdog, which we tasted and enjoy a few times while there, and gave us great suggestions for the rest of our stay. Thanks to Asgrimur we explored the area around our hotel with ease.
This Review belong to some other tour company. We don't have any guide called Asgrimur! We don't stop at Harpa and we don't include any Hot dogs!!
Luca was a legend! Such a knowledgeable guide, and he was so accommodating. It would have taken us a week on our own ti see everything we saw in two hours.
