Reviews
My wife, adult daughter and I booked this tour with “Your Friend in Reykjavik” through Viator the during the afternoon we arrived in Iceland. Our tour guide, Cristin, was excellent. She met the group at the designated meeting location ahead of schedule. She was very friendly and informative about everything Reykjavik. Iceland is a fascinating place with so much history, and she did a great job of bringing it to life. We would definitely recommend this tour and guide to anyone new to the city.
Ester E was our guide today on our Iceland Women walking tour and the group LOVED her and the tour. We enjoyed hanging out for conversation after the walking portion as well. I would highly recommend doing a tour with Ester E!
The local food tour was amazing. We had a goupt of 9 of us and a few others along. Our guide Palli was very informative, helpful, attentive, and so much fun to have lead us through Reykjavik. A great was to kick off our vacation. The food stops were all great. Lots of fish and lamb and stews and sweets.
