We had a fantastic time...

Betsy_E, Oct 2025

We had a fantastic time on our walking tour with Inga! She was incredibly knowledgeable about Iceland’s history, especially the amazing women who helped shape the country. We loved hearing her stories — both about the influential Icelandic women and her own experiences growing up here. Despite the chilly weather, the walk through the city was wonderful. The stop at the record shop (with a warm drink and great conversation!) was such a fun touch. Although we had to cut the tour a little short for a lunch reservation, Inga made sure we left with plenty of insight and appreciation for Icelandic culture. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much, Betsy! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your walking tour with Inga — she’ll be so happy to know her stories about Iceland’s incredible women and her own experiences made the tour special. She truly has a gift for bringing history and culture to life! We’re glad you had a wonderful time exploring Reykjavík (and warming up with a cozy stop at the record shop!). Thanks again for joining us and for the lovely recommendation — hope to see you again on your next visit! 🇮🇸✨ With gratitude and warm regards Steina Your Friend In Reykjavík & Team
