The tour was well paced and was able to see all the highlights. Learned so much about Reykjavik. I would highly recommend this tour.

We left it too late to book on to a more usual walking tour but decided to try this - and we were really pleased we did!! It’s an excellent way to get the information of a tour and see all the sights of the city but with the added bonus of it being exactly when we wanted and being able to pause and restart when ever we wanted. There are extra stories and information which is great as you can go in depth in the things you are interested in and just skim those that don’t appeal. We felt we got to know the city and its history and would definitely do this kind of tour again out of choice. It’s a lot cheaper as well! Easy to use once you’ve mastered how it works. I’d advise spending a few minutes working it out at the beginning so the rest of the tour goes smoothly.

Cool app, good storytelling, all major sightseeing there, plus interesting stories about all locations. You can’t restart it anytime.

Easy to use app. It was very neat how all you needed to do was walk with it running for the stories to play, or simply go to the "learn more" at a highlighted spot. I also liked that there were transcripts of the audio, and the clear audio directions and map. The stories were interesting, and the narration engaging. It was very informative and added a lot of missing context to my understanding of Reykjavik.

What to expect

Reykjavik

This Icelandic capital city is absolutely packed with history, culture, and fascinating landmarks. So let’s start exploring it all! We’ll walk in a wonky sort of loop to take it all in. Note: The tour is over 1.6 miles long, with more than 30 audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours per tour to complete. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

5 minutes

Hallgrimskirkja

If you’ve seen basalt in the wild, it often takes on these oddly geometric, pillar-like shapes! You can see some great examples of basalt like this on my Snæfellsnes Peninsula tour or my Volcanic Beaches tour.

Sun Voyager

At first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking the artist of this sculpture was trying to replicate a Viking Ship. After all, you are in the land of the Vikings and, well, this is a ship! But this isn’t actually the intention behind the sculpture.

5 minutes

Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre

Maximus is a popular children’s book character. In his first adventure, he’s a fairly normal rodent who just happens to find his way into a music hall. He likes what he hears and hangs around, going on many adventures in the vast hall. These thrilling hijinks are all set to the background of rousing orchestral music.

15 minutes

Ingólfur Arnarson

According to Viking lore, a dragon head was used to scare away enemies and provide a mystical connection to the gods. It provided protection from evil spirits of both the land and water. In fact, when dragon heads were carved into the masts of Viking ships, there was a law that stated the heads had to be removed before the ship could return to its homeland.

15 minutes

Parliament House (Althingishus)

The dragon, the eagle, the giant, and the bull are the spirits who guard Iceland. Each relief represents protection of a specific region. The dragon guards the Eastfjords, the eagle watches over the north, the bull protects the west, while the giant watches over the Reykjanes peninsula in the southwest.

10 minutes

Reykjavik City Hall

If you’re looking for a fun little easter egg most people miss, look for the green wall. See how City Hall is divided into two buildings? Look for the wall in the space between the two.

15 minutes

Lake Tjornin

But we won’t get the chance to fish off of it. According to an old legend, two elderly women once lived on opposite sides of the lake. Both used its waters to wash their clothes.

20 minutes

Admission Not Included

Reykjavík Junior College

That’s Menntaskolinn, or the Old Grammar School. And old really means old… it’s nearly a thousand years old! Menntaskolinn traces its roots all the way to 1056.
