The tour begins at Reykjavik's Old Harbor in the morning. Here, you'll meet your guide and fellow travelers for an immersive exploration of Iceland's capital.

The Old Harbor is a beautiful starting place for your Reykjavik city walk because of its location near the city center. It also boasts a scenic view of the bay surrounding the city and distant mountains on a clear day.

An excellent bonus of your walk is sampling some of the most unique delicacies of the land of fire and ice. Each tasting comes with stories revealing Iceland's resourceful spirit and deep ties to the land and sea.

You'll try local flavors such as dried seaweed or a traditional Icelandic herbal brew, adding a fun, sensory element to the experience. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also try hakarl, one of Iceland's national dishes made of fermented shark.

One of the tour highlights is a visit to the Reykjavik Settlement Exhibition, home to the oldest archaeological site in Reykjavik. Here, you'll glimpse into the Viking era, with ruins and displays showing Iceland's early settler life. 

This stop adds a historical layer that brings Reykjavik's past to life, making it a fascinating contrast to the modern city around you. If the museum is not open during your visit, you'll visit another nearby museum with the same significance to the local culture.
