The cats are an Independent People. You will not always get to see them, but they probably have something else, just as important, to do anyway. Dont worry. Baldi has plenty of stories to tell, has local knowledge to share, and is happy to answer any questions, including 'How does one talk to an Icelandic Kisi.

Dear Catherin,
Thank you so much for your delightful review! 😊
You’re absolutely right, Reykjavík’s cats are wonderfully independent and tend to keep their own busy schedules 🐱✨. We love your attitude about it!
We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour with Barði and appreciated his stories, local knowledge, and willingness to answer every question, even the very important ones about how to talk to an Icelandic “kisa” 😄🇮🇸.
We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to see you again for more fun adventures in Reykjavík, cats or no cats! 🌍💙
With gratitude and warm regards

On paper this sounded more interesting than it was in reality, at least the day we went. The highlight was "meeting" a bookstore cat (Bashtet, or a name like that -- the King of Cats!) and delicious hot chocolate at the cat cafe (where we witnessed a dramatic stand-off between two feline residents), along with some Icelandic folklore about cats. We seemed to skip over sights listed in the writeup of the tour (the oldest college in Reykjavik and the Parliament building, among them). The guide also said he never took his tours to the Einar Jonsson sculpture museum (also referenced in the write-up) because the sculptures were dark and depressing. The stories about cats in Icelandic folklore were potentially really interesting (they tended to be evil characters!) but our guide, who was not Icelandic, didn't appear to have more than a passing knowledge. Perhaps it was an off day for him. He was a personable young man (prompt and courteous) but we were hoping for a more memorable tour.
