Your tour begins in front of the Hallgrimskirkja church in central Reykjavik. You’ll meet the expert local guide leading your group and will start by hearing some information about the church. 

The Hallgrimskirkja church is the largest church and one of the tallest buildings in Iceland at almost 245 feet (74.5 meters) tall. Your guide will tell your group about the church and its construction as you begin the walking tour of the city.

From here, your group will walk through the streets of Reykjavik as your guide tells you more about the country’s history. This small-group tour has a maximum of 15 guests, meaning you’ll enjoy a more personal experience and have plenty of opportunities to ask your guide questions.

As you explore some of Reykjavik’s most iconic sights, you’ll learn how a former fishing village transformed into a vibrant capital city. Your guide will give you an overview of Icelandic values and culture so you can discover what makes Icelanders unique.

The guide will also tell you unique personal stories about the city and its people that you won’t hear anywhere else. It’s a fantastic way to learn about Icelandic history with a more personal touch. It’s not like a boring history lesson, but more like speaking with a friend about their favorite places.

This tour is suitable for children of all ages, making it an excellent option for people traveling with their families. You’ll walk just over one mile (two kilometers) in total, so you may want to bring a stroller if you have young children who might find this challenging.

You’ll be outside for the whole tour, so wear warm, waterproof clothes to stay dry. The weather in Iceland can change very quickly, so bring layers and waterproofs with you even if it looks sunny when you set off.

Toward the end of the tour, you’ll enjoy a traditional Iceland lunch with your group. It’s a great way to learn more about Icelandic food and try something delicious to replenish your energy after the walk.
