Tours from Reykjavik, in the City & Around the Capital Region

Reykjavík is the largest city in Iceland, which may surprise you on arrival! This charming and quirky city has much to offer, whether you’re spending a few days or weeks. Our Reykjavík tours are designed to allow you to get to know the city a little better, or simply use it as a base for your more adventurous excursions across the country.

This city has something for every kind of traveler. Whether you want to drive up a mountain on an ATV, horseback ride through lava fields, or take a Scandinavian food-tasting tour, Reykjavík has got you covered!

Unlike most capital cities in Europe, Reykjavík is small enough for you to explore it all on foot. Nearby are nature reserves, valleys, a harbor, and even a zoo — all just a short distance from each other and easily accessible on foot.  

Our Reykjavík City Walking Tour is a great way to spend a few hours, as we stroll around the city and explore the most popular sights. On the tour, you’ll visit Hallgrímskirkja Church, the Einar Jónsson Museum, the Parliament Building, and many other landmarks. Our local guides will share some insider knowledge about the city and show you all the hidden spots. 

Our Reykjavík Food Walk is a great way to get to know the culture, customs, and people of Iceland. Your guide, a local foodie, passionate about traditional dishes, will take you to the best eateries in town. This four-hour, all-inclusive, culinary tour should be at the top of every foodie’s bucket list!

Check out Reykjavík’s Harbor, the town square, Lækjartorg, and the main shopping street, Laugavegur — all aboard the Reykjavík Hop-On and Hop-Off Bus Tour. This tour is a great way to see the capital at your own pace. Ride a bus around 16 famous landmarks and hop on and off whenever you like! Tickets are valid for 24 hours after purchase.
