Explore Reykjavik on this guided tuk-tuk tour, a quick introduction to the capital of Iceland.
A local guide meets you in Reykjavik and tells you about the tour, the tuk-tuk, and what to expect on the ride. The tuk-tuk, or auto rickshaw, is a three-wheeled vehicle common in South and Southeast Asia and also found in parts of Africa, Latin America, and some European cities.
The tuk-tuk runs on electricity, so it's eco-friendly, and its heated seats keep you warm, especially in winter. It's also more comfortable than a walking tour.
Along the way, you pass Laugavegur, the main shopping street, the harbor, and Harpa Concert Hall. The tour stops at two attractions in Reykjavik, with a 10- to 15-minute stop at each, so you have time to see the places and learn about their history.
One stop is Thufa, a 26-foot (8-meter) man-made mound designed in 2013 by the Icelandic artist Olof Nordal as a quiet place in the city for meditation.
At first glance, Thufa looks like a natural hill, covered in green grass and surrounded by wildflowers. A path spirals up to the top, where there's a hut for drying fish.
Another stop is Hallgrimskirkja Church, a Lutheran church that has become one of the most recognizable buildings in Iceland. The church stands 244 feet (74 meters) tall and is named after the Icelandic poet and clergyman Hallgrimur Petursson.
During the stop, you can look around the interior, with its minimalist Nordic design and large pipe organ.
After the tour, your guide takes you back to the meeting point.
