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.

A great walking tour if Reykjavik
Roy_B
, Jul 2022
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 tour worth the time & money
Denise_G

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.

I've set the tour duration to 2-3 hours long in the tour details on Viator/Tripadvisor
