★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18,952 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $146Top rated

Taste Icelandic classics, street food, and local sweets while exploring Reykjavík landmarks on a relaxed three-hour small-group walk.

“Our first day in Reykjavík couldn’t have been better, thanks to Stevie. He led us through downtown with a perfect mix of fun storytelling and deep local knowledge. It never felt rushed; Stevie gave us plenty of time to savor every bite at each restaurant. The food was incredible, but the Plokkfiskur (cod and potato dish) and the local ice cream were absolute standouts. If you want to find the best hidden gems in the city while feeling like you're walking with a friend, ask for Stevie!”

“David was our guide yesterday, 19th April 2025, and during the trip he did his wonders by explaining us how the northern lights appear and how some countries explained through mythology in the past. Super interesting. Thank you David! We got a cup of hot chocolate for free during the trip. We were SO lucky we got to see these amazing auroras this time of the year! Definitely would do it every single day of my vacations if it was guaranteed to see the lights. It’s really worth every cent!”

Blue Lagoon review with practical tips on timing, price, masks, drinks, transport, crowds, and what to expect at Iceland’s famous geothermal spa.

“We flew in from Manchester, landing in Iceland at 8:15 on a crisp Sunday morning. After picking up our car, we headed straight to the famous Blue Lagoon — and honestly, it was the best decision we could have made. Three blissful hours of soaking in the warm, milky-blue water melted away every trace of travel fatigue. The soothing heat was exactly what our tired bodies needed after the flight.
