Barõi Guömundsson The best guide ever for this tour

Published on Sep, 2024

What an amazing tour. I don’t think the tour would have been this great if we didn’t have Barõi Guömundsson as our tour guide. He was soooo knowledgeable and great to talk to and get all our questions answered. We saw sooooo much of Reykjavik and all the history that went with it. I would definitely request him as your guide! We have been touring all over Europe for 3 weeks with 1 and 2 tours a day. He tops them all.

A tour worth doing!

Published on Jul, 2024

Our tour guide, Bardi, ensured we all had a very interesting experience. He was both knowledgeable and entertaining, able to share unique information about the Vikings in Iceland as well as other historical and cultural details.

Lovely activity to learn about the city

Published on Jan, 2024

Stephan I. was wonderful guide. He was very knowledgeable, warm, and friendly. In addition to hearing stories about the history, we were able to get our bearings in the city.

Tour with a local

Published on Aug, 2023
