    Hallgrímskirkja looks over Reykjavík as the most recognisable building standing above all the rest. Its stepped concrete facade is a reminder of the Icelandic landscape and the church’s interior minimalist with a grand organ. The church is named after Hallgrímur Pétursson, a 17th-century clergyman and author of a famous series of Hymns of the Passion. If conditions allow, we will go up to the bell tower for a magnificent view over Reykjavik City.

Great Experience that We'd Highly Recommend!

Published on Jan, 2025

We loved our walking tour with Asi! The tour route was interesting, and Asi's narration was fascinating, informative, and funny! Despite the frigid temperatures, we enjoyed traipsing through snow and ice, while learning so much! Who knew that Icelanders don't have last names and are all related?

Like checking out the neighborhood with a friend who happens to be a local. Great tour!

Published on Jan, 2025

We thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour! Our guide Gauti was personable and knowledgeable. We felt as if we were walking around town with a local friend who simply wanted to show us his neighborhood. We appreciated his anecdotes and his recommendations regarding shops and restaurants nearby. Despite the cold, the tour moved along quickly and we learned a lot.

Fascinating experience

Published on Jan, 2025
