Great private tour intro to Reykjavik

Rusti_I, Jun 2025

This private tour included only my group, which was perfect because we were very tired and jet-lagged! Our guide, Paul (Palli), was great. He met us at our hotel and modified the walk to various interests and walking speeds on the fly. He was personable and gave a great introduction for people just arriving in Reykjavik for the first time. By the end of the walk, we felt like we had a pretty good handle on the area, some good local recommendations, tasted a little local food, and confidence to go back and explore more. He made Reykjavik feel very welcoming, and we loved all the bits of history and culture he wove into the walk. Also, the office/operations support and communication by the tour company Your Friend In Reykjavik was very good as well. Recommend and would do it again!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

We always aim to personalize our tours to our guests’ needs and pace, and it’s fantastic to know that our office team provided smooth communication. Your kind words truly mean a great deal to us, and we would be delighted to welcome you back anytime! Safe travels, and thank you again for recommending Your Friend In Reykjavik! With gratitude and warm regards Steina Your Friend In Reykjavík & Team
