What makes Old Icelandic Books truly special is its authenticity and rarity. This is the only place in the country where you have the opportunity to handle those rare books and manuscripts. This is not a standard museum exhibition behind glass cases. Visitors encounter genuine antiquarian Icelandic Books and manuscripts-objects that have survived centuries in a country were literature became the backbone of national identity. The experience is intimate and personal. It's guided directly by Thor, the guardian of the books that restores the books himself, offering first-hand insight into preservation, provenance and historical context. The Collection connects directly to the literary tradition that produced works like the 'Prose Edda' and 'the Poetic Edda', texts that shaped global understanding of Norse mythology and influenced writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien and composers like Richard Wagner. The experience combines scholarship, restoration expertise and cultural depth.

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is a location where nature, history, and folklore converge, creating a place of rugged beauty and mysterious charm. Exploring the area through a private tour with a knowledgeable driver is an excellent way to experience its extensive offerings. The drive is remarkably scenic, with a landscape that unfolds as a wonderful symphony of extinct volcanoes, hot springs, craters, and lava fields formed during volcanic activities in the distant past. Possible stops include the rock formations at Gerðuberg, the black church at Búðir, and the seals at Ytri Tunga beach. The fishing villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar serve as reminders of Iceland's history as a fishing nation. Further out, Djúpalónssandur beach offers a breathtaking view, where a lava flow from the great volcano met the ocean, creating a natural harbour. On the northern side of the peninsula lies the much photographed Kirkjufell, a cone-shaped mountain near the fishing village of Grundarfjörður.

With departure times around noon, this tour is ideal if you had a long day the day before. If you want to learn more about history and geology, you can upgrade the driver to one of our educated tour guides. During winter, the days are short, but we will take you to the sites in time so you can see and enjoy them before going on to hunt for the northern lights. As the name suggests, it is a hunt, which, with bad luck, may not be successful, but the thrill of looking out and chasing holes in the clouds while waiting for the lights can be an experience in itself. Remember to dress accordingly. Even though there are paths, sturdy shoes are advisable since they can be very slippery in winter, hence the name Iceland. A wind- and waterproof outer layer is also always a good idea over a warm layer, as you may be outside for a while waiting for the lights to show and, of course, walking between the tectonic plates.

Iceland has a great story. Brave settlers, honest politics, a beacon of equality, innocent people living with dramatic nature. Every other tour in Reykjavík will be happy to tell you that story. This is not that tour. Uncomfortable Iceland is a history walk through central Reykjavík for those who want to understand the real history behind Iceland's carefully curated national identity. Led by a local professional historian and experienced storyteller, this walk systematically picks apart the myths, half-truths and deliberate silences that make up the official version of Icelandic history. No prior knowledge of Icelandic history is required. You just need to be curious and open to having your assumptions challenged. Your guide will lead you through the context of each story before revealing how and why it has been distorted, suppressed or simply never told.

What are people saying about Reykjavik

Mike_H, Jun 2026

Awesome tour with exceptional driver and guide!

Great driver and guide. Guide’s name was Ummur (sp?) and I won’t even try the drivers name. However, driver was very smooth and comfortable ride. The information provided by Ummur was outstanding. Very knowledgeable of the history of the country as well as the geography. Also had a good sense of humor and magically kept appearing with an answer when we had a question. Scenery was exceptional as was the learning experience.

Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland

Anirudh_J, Jun 2026

Just like the Instagram ads!

I saw this experience on Instagram and I knew I wanted to do it. I had a twelve hour layover in KEF and planned to do this tour during my time. You get to see important landmarks around downtown Reykjavík and try amazing food. Our tour guide, Ben, taught us about Icelandic culture too as we were going around the city. It felt like a conversation and the time flew so fast. As a solo traveler, Ben helped me and others feel at ease and welcomed. This felt like exactly what I saw on Instagram. It was fun, interactive, and delicious. I did also see Ben in one of their social media advertisements! I love knowing that the people behind the company are also representing the company online and in person. It’s authentic and makes it so much more enjoyable. I would probably do this tour again when I plan another trip to Iceland!

Definitely a must-see!

The tour is really great. Our guide, Adae, is very helpful and drives safely. He spoke clear of Iceland's history. The itineraries were covered well and had enough time to roam around. The bus is clean. And lastly, Iceland gave us a lasting impression.

The Golden Circle - a must see with Sindri

It was an excellent variety of things to see. Even though it was a long day, it didn't feel like a long day. It gave a great sample of each place so that if we wanted to revisit any of the spots we knew where we would want to go back to on our own. The driver, Sindri was informative and entertaining and accommodating. We really enjoyed the day.

Everything was so well plan!. Our driver/ guide Guna was fabulous ! very informative and learnt so much about Iceland . The van we travel in was new and comfortable and it was, indeed, a small group of about 19 passengers. Liked to much that I plan to go back and take another tour. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Sky Lagoon Ticket with 7-Step Ritual and Transfers from Reykjavik

Andrew_D, May 2026

An Absolute Must Do in Iceland!

This is a MUST DO! Ease of operation with transfers from a nearby bus stop and convenient return trip. Sky Lagoon is a picturesque slice of heaven that you have to experience. The lagoon overlooks the water surrounded by rock walls with a moss covered roof for the 7-step ritual. The sauna inside is the most beautiful one that I have ever seen. The staff direct you through each step of the ritual and then you return to the lagoon for a drink or more time to spend in the warm water. This was an absolute trip highlight and a truly amazing experience!

Golden Circle, Volcano Crater and Blue Lagoon Small-Group Tour

Suzanne_K, May 2026

A MUST do excursion!

This was perhaps the best excursion we have experienced! Operated by Bus Travel Iceland - our driver, Siggy, went above and beyond to ensure our small group of 20 passengers had the best experience! So many amazing natural wonders to see! Loved every stop during this day! Very organized, on time, and enjoyable!

Relaxing Day at the Lagoon

This was a great relaxing experience. I would definitely book the Ser experience, with private dressing room/shower. I liked booking through Viator since it made it so easy to edit my time. Would recommend. I did prefer the Blue Lagoon over the Sky Lagoon, but the views and the ritual definitely made this a unique experience.

This was a very well...

This was a very well planned tour. Easy pickup and drop off, the guide was knowledgeable, the destinations amazing and we never felt rushed at any of the stops. I highly recommend this tour. We stopped at a great place to buy lunch mid day. Ending with the Blue Lagoon was perfect to wind down after all the sight seeing. You get a towel, mask and non alcoholic drink. The lockers were well organized and large to fit a backpack, clothes and shoes. Showers were warm and private and all the floors were smooth so no need for flip flops.

The Original Classic Whale Watching from Reykjavik

Claudia_H, May 2026

Easy meeting point...

Easy meeting point location, close to the concert hall with plenty of restaurants around if you want to eat before or after the tour. The boat was nice and had two indoor decks and two outdoor decks. They provide the best coveralls, so warm and waterproof (it was raining when we went) I was sad to take it off at the end! There is not much to eat on the boat so definitely eat before (we took the 1pm tour). There are alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks available. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the views were wonderful. We did see a whale close to the end when we were heading back. It’s definitely worth doing, any glimpse of a whale is amazing.

Snaefellsnes Peninsula Full Day Tour from Reykjavik

Jocelyn_W, May 2026

The pick up was extra...

The pick up was extra busy as there were multiple buses picking up in the same location so you will need to be patient. Most of the buses had the tour name on the front which was very helpful. Our tour guide was Dooley who is from Iceland and had wonderful stories not just about the history of Iceland but about his family and his childhood which really brought the area to life. The tour is very fast pace but you see so much in a short amount of time. You still have time to enjoy the scenery. Dooley also stopped at a couple extra spots which enriched the experience. He also really enjoyed the experience which helped us enjoy it more. I would definitely recommend this tour and the tour guide Dooley.

Silfra: Snorkeling Between Tectonic Plates - Meet on Location

Allison_K, May 2026

Absolutely stunning views...

Absolutely stunning views underwater. They provide you with a dry suit, snorkel gear, and flippers. They warn you that it is cold (2*C) but the experience is totally worth it! Our guide was great - gave us a little safety briefing and interesting facts about the fissure. They do take some pictures for an extra $20 but I used a go pro and those came out great.
