Your tour starts when you are picked up from your accommodation in Reykjavik by your expert guide. This excursion is a private tour, meaning it will be just you and your group. You'll get plenty of time with your guide and can ask them as many questions as you like.
The first stop on the tour is the Perlan Museum, an iconic landmark in Reykjavik known for its stunning architecture and panoramic city views. Perched on top of six hot water tanks, it offers visitors a unique vantage point to see Reykjavik from above. You won't visit the museum exhibitions but will have time to take photos of the building and enjoy the cityscape.
From here, your guide will take you into the city center, where you'll learn about the history of settlement in Iceland and the people who have lived in Reykjavik at various times.
Reykjavik dates back to the 9th century when Norse settlers first arrived in Iceland. It was officially founded as a town in 1786 and later became the capital of Iceland in 1918. Today, Reykjavik is a thriving city celebrating its Viking heritage and unique culture.
Your guide will then take you to some of the city's most famous sights, such as the Hallgrimskirkja Church, the Sun Voyager sculpture, the Harpa Concert Hall, and Reykjavik City Hall.
You'll also visit Hofdi House, a historic building that gained global recognition as the venue for a momentous summit between U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1986. This pivotal moment contributed to the end of the Cold War.
Today, Hofdi House serves as a venue for various diplomatic events and meetings, symbolizing Iceland's commitment to peace and diplomacy. Its charming architecture, picturesque location by the waterfront, and profound historical legacy make it a must-visit landmark for locals and tourists alike.
After your time in Reykjavik, you'll head to the Blue Lagoon, Iceland's best-known geothermal spa. The Blue Lagoon is a beautiful oasis with mineral-rich waters. These milky-blue waters create a surreal and otherworldly experience.
Visitors can immerse themselves in the geothermal water and relax with a silica face mask, believed to possess healing properties for the skin. Surrounded by a dramatic volcanic landscape, the Blue Lagoon offers breathtaking views and a sense of tranquility.
It has spa facilities, luxurious amenities, and a chance to unwind amidst the stunning Icelandic scenery.
After a relaxing soak, your guide will take you back to Reykjavik, where you'll have time to enjoy the rest of your day or continue your adventures.
