This is the shortlist to send a friend: 5 historical tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
A 2.5-hour Reykjavik walking tour with local storyteller Lalli, mixing landmarks, Norse myths, Christianity, politics, and a fun hot dog stop.
“We had great weather which made the walking tour even more perfect. Our guide was fantastic and very funny! Great way to see the city and learn about the history without being bored.”
Explore four man-made caves at Ægissíða near Vik. Small group, English guide, warm facilities. 1 hour, admission included.
“Interesting caves to visit. Hanna did a great job of touring us around the caves. Great to learn about history.”
A 3-hour small-group Reykjavik walk with five tastings, craft beer, and landmark history, timed for a great first-night dinner.
“We really enjoyed Lalli’s tour. He shared a lot of information about the history of Iceland and its people. We had several traditional icelandic dishes (pickled shark, smoked lamb, pancakes, fish stew, fish and chips). Then we sampled various craft beers to finish the evening. Small wonderful group of 7 people. I highly recommend this tour”
Self-guided GPS walk in Ísafjörður: maritime history, church and hospital, Whale-bone Arch, 3D crosswalk, ending at Silfurtorg, with offline audio.
“Fun experience walking through Isafjordur with a local. Information given and sites seen would not have been found on our own. Voicemap was a little tricky at the start, but easy to use as we went along. Looking forward to using it for future tours”
Guided 2.5-hour Flateyri trip from Ísafjörður with fjord views, an avalanche wall visit, and trading-post history in the Westfjords.
“very interesting visit made by a great professional guide Rachelle who gave us so much information on plants, life in Iceland and around the Fjords and her village so small but so interesting. thank you Rachelle and merci Clément for such a smooth drive.”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
