Excellent tour with Luca!

Luca was very knowledgeable in sharing Icelandic history with our group. He answered all our questions and brought Icelandic treats for our group to try (dried fish, a drink, and chocolate). He even shared restaurant recommendations, including vegetarian options, with us.
Excellent experience

Reykjavik is a wonderful city for a walking tour. Luca was a great guide. Very personable and knowledgeable. We had children with us and he made the tour enjoyable for all of us. We felt like the tour gave us a great view of Icelandic history, culture, economy, and politics. Could not have been better. We now have a great understanding of Iceland. Luca also gave us recommendations for restaurants and places in Reykjavik and rest of Iceland to visit.
Walking your Reykjavik

Luca our guide was very good, was enthusiastic to share information about Iceland history to our group
Walking tour worth the time & money

Our tour guide Luca was fabulous. Knowledgeable, professional & kind. Went above and beyond texting tips for restaurants and activities after the tour. Also gave us a little taste of Icelandic alcohol and chocolate. Had we wanted some fish he offered a taste of that as well. Pointed out the sites and explained the history. A real gem. Tour was 2 hours although it said 1.5 when booked, which was fine for us.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Thanks a lot for your great review, Denise!!
It's very much appreciated!
I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and the local little "delicacies":):)
It was great to meeting you and to have you on tour!!
ohh...so strange that you got only 1.5 hours as tour duration when you booked it on Viator.
I've set the tour duration to 2-3 hours long in the tour details on Viator/Tripadvisor
Luca knows Reykjavik
Stan_L

Luca has an encyclopedic knowledge of Icelandic history. He was fantastic. We wanted to see the inside of Harpa, and he added it on to our tour. Can’t recommend him highly enough as a tour guide.
Great informative tour!

Luca was a great guide. He was knowledgeable of the culture and the history of Iceland and Reykjavik. He also knows the area’s restaurants and was able to give us great recommendations. If this is your first time to Reykjavik, this tour is a must to see the city’s architecture, sites, and soak in Reykjavik.
Great experience

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
