5.00The tour was called Walk with a Viking. Stefan I is a fantastic guide. Highlighted all the sights around downtown area, the oldest neighborhood where Viking homes once existed. Pointed out good restaurants, unique museums, where to hear live music, the iconic red hot dog stand. Showed us a large relief map of Iceland in a government building. He has a good sense of humor and the time flew by.
A very good Viking tour.

5.00What an amazing tour. I don’t think the tour would have been this great if we didn’t have Barõi Guömundsson as our tour guide. He was soooo knowledgeable and great to talk to and get all our questions answered. We saw sooooo much of Reykjavik and all the history that went with it. I would definitely request him as your guide! We have been touring all over Europe for 3 weeks with 1 and 2 tours a day. He tops them all.
A tour worth doing!
