Great Experience that We'd Highly Recommend! - We loved our walking tour with Asi! The tour route was interesting, and Asi's narration was fascinating, informative, and funny! Despite the frigid temperatures, we enjoyed traipsing through snow and ice, while learning so much! Who knew that Icelanders don't have last names and are all related?

Like checking out the neighborhood with a friend who happens to be a local. Great tour! - We thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour! Our guide Gauti was personable and knowledgeable. We felt as if we were walking around town with a local friend who simply wanted to show us his neighborhood. We appreciated his anecdotes and his recommendations regarding shops and restaurants nearby. Despite the cold, the tour moved along quickly and we learned a lot.

Wonderful day in Reykjavik! - The trip leader Dominica from NiceTravel was phenomenal. She made the day very fun and I feel well-informed. It was perfect to end the cold weather day with a soak at the Blue Lagoon. Wonderful day.
