Vikings Sagas and Sights: Self Guided Walk in Reykjavik

A sorcerer once swam around Iceland disguised as a whale, only to be driven back by a dragon, a giant, and a colossal bird guarding the coastline. You'll find those guardians carved into the Parliament building — and that's just one of the stories waiting for you on this self-guided walking tour of Reykjavik. Starting at the volcanic-inspired Hallgrimskirkja, this audio tour leads you through 14 stops across Iceland's capital including the Rainbow Street and a sculpture designed as an ode to the sun. Along the way, you will hear how the Vikings established the world's oldest parliament and why Iceland has no McDonald's. Delivered through the Tourific app, the tour works entirely offline once downloaded. Pause to explore, stop for coffee, or climb the Hallgrimskirkja tower for panoramic views. Available in 9 languages. Start whenever you like, go at your own pace, and take as long as you want.

What are people saying about Reykjavik

Classic Puffin Watching Cruise from Downtown Reykjavík

Fayyaz_K, Jun 2026

It was a great experience!

We took the puffin-watching cruise on June 17th at 2 p.m., and it was fantastic. The guide (who was actually a marine biologist) was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. She answered every question we had and made the experience even more memorable. We saw plenty of puffins up close, and it was a truly wonderful afternoon. They even sent us pictures of puffin she took with her professional camera. Overall, it was a great experience.

Fagradalsfjall Volcano Hike - Small Group Tour with Local Guide

Daniela_R, May 2026

It won't disappoint!

I highly recommend booking this hike. Although you can hike independently, you'll miss out on the volcano's history. Oddi, our guide was an expert who kept us safe and brought proper gear in case of an active volcano. The hike was very easy. I definitely recommend having a guide! Feel Comfortable being able to walk on lava.

Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik

Amber_M, May 2026

Don't miss this one!

Amazing tour, very knowledgeable guide who spent every moment educating us about the geography, history and culture of Iceland. The sights were phenomenal, and after a long day of travelling it was great to soak in the secret lagoon, Icelands oldest natural pool. I will never forget this trip, thank you so much to our guide!

Golden Circle and Glacier Snowmobiling Day Trip from Reykjavik

Gina_C, Apr 2026

Fantastic!

Our tour guide Lasma was amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable. When she dropped us for our snowmobiling part of the trip, she ended up waiting several hours more for us because our off-roading truck got stuck in snow for a couple hours. Our driver Jon was great. Smiled and laughed whole time. The snowmobile guys still took us out. It was raining and visibility poor, but our whole group still had a blast. Highly recommend.

The Golden Circle Guided Bus Tour from Reykjavik

Roberth_R, Apr 2026

A Golden Day from start to finish

Your only concern is getting to the BSI bus terminal. You get there, your work is done. Reykjavik Excursions is a well oiled machine. Keep your eye on the timetable for your scheduled bus to the Golden Circle and don't forget your bus number. The drive out to Thingvellir and back from Gulfoss are the longest legs of the trip. Plan accordingly. Those seven hours go by quicker than you think, so savor every minute of them.

Golden Circle and Kerid Crater Afternoon Tour from Reykjavik

Bridget_K, Mar 2026

Anna! and Gregor

I’ve taking a lot of tours and Anna was absolutely at the top for the experience she provided. Friendly, funny, amazing story telling, patient and easy to connect with immediately which is impressive for such a big group. Our driver Gregor drove us around safely and kept the bus comfortable and clean. Highly recommend this Golden Circle experience. I wish I could have Anna guide us around the entire country!

Perlan Admission - Volcano & Ice Cave, Northern Lights Experience

Fran_F, Mar 2026

Don't miss PERLAN

There is so much more than you would expect when you arrived at the museum. Glaciers volcanoes earthquakes Northern Lights... Amazing! Interactive, educational and entertaining activities. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, professional, helpful, very aware of the guests and the guests needs. I would give them a "12" rating on a scale of 1 to 10!!!

Golden Circle and Kerid Volcanic Crater Small-Group Day Tour

Morgan_P, Mar 2026

Beautiful Golden Circle Tour with an Excellent Guide

We had an amazing time on the Golden Circle and Kerid Volcanic Crater small-group tour. Everything was well organized and the sites were absolutely beautiful. A special thank you to our tour guide, Mika. He was very communicative about pick up and kept everyone informed throughout the day. As we traveled from site to site, he shared great information and made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, the day was seamless and we had a fantastic time. I would love to do this tour again during the summer months to see everything in a different season. Highly recommend.

Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk

Damian_G, Mar 2026

Excellent walking tour with a local guide.

Marteinn was brilliant - engaging and knowledgeable. A couple didn't manage to get there on time, but he did as much as he possibly could to ensure they could catch us up, which, unfortunately for them (because they missed a great tour experience), they didn't. As a local, we learned a huge amount about Icelandic and Viking history from him, right up to the present day. He demonstrated a good sense of humour and shrewd level of awareness to encourage debate without getting too controversial. The group was small (8, but should have been 10) and that made it feel more personable. Not too strenuous physically and taken at an easy pace, with the occasional opportunity to shelter from a biting wind and he ran perfectly to time. Marteinn was able to give guidance and recommendations on how to get the best from our holiday as well. He showed genuine interest in his guests and we felt valued as a result. A great experience. Thank you Marteinn.

South Coast, Diamond Beach and Glacier Lagoon Day Tour

Judy_H, Feb 2026

What a great way to spend a day!!

We had two of the most experienced and wonderful people to take care of us. Chris our guide was great, keeping us informed and making sure we were doing great! Robert , our driver took us safely for 14 hours through some of the most challenging wind storms I’ve ever been through!! Bravo!! Great tour

Golden Circle, Kerid Crater & Geothermal Lagoon -Small Group Tour

Gilman_W, Feb 2026

Golden Circle Tour

Entertaining and informative tour with our guide Dominika who provided guests with a brief history of each site explaining the geology interspersed with local music and personal stories. Observed the incredible tectonic rift at Thingvellir, the breathtakingly frozen Gullfoss waterfall, steam vents and geysers including Stokkur water spout and finally a relaxing visit to the world famous Blue Lagoon. Definitely recommended.

South Coast, Waterfalls and Black Beach Tour from Reykjavik

Fahad_K, Feb 2026

10/10 Highly Recommended

My sister and I loved this tour. Our tour guide was Gunnar, and he was incredible. We had a gas station stop shortly into the tour which allowed us to get coffee, a pastry and make a bathroom run. We went to Skógafoss, Vik, Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, Solheimajokull Glacier and then ended with Seljalandfoss. The itinerary felt well planned and I felt we had enough time at each stop. Vik is where we stop for lunch and there was enough time and food options. My only advice is dress appropriately, Iceland weather can be unpredictable.
