    Waste of time & money

    Even though the guide is friendly , has no much knowledge about the place ,also didn’t see few main places to see, waste of money is what I felt , very disappointed. We wanted to know about Reykjavik but she failed to know things even what about cab driver could say , waste of time and money

    Response from the operator: We regret to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback will be taken into consideration in our continuous efforts to provide travellers like you with an amazing experience in Reykjavik. We hope you still managed to enjoy some of the highlights of Reykjavik and hope to welcome you soon again on another LocalBini Experience.

    Very special private intro to Reykjavik with a very special tour guide

    Roxanne gave us a Wonderful, informative & lovely introduction to Reykjavik on our 1st morning tour. Even before we arrived she communicated with me, reassured us regarding our scheduled flight & tour time. She was accessible, easy to reach, responsive to making our 1st visit to Iceland very special. She happily accommodated us when our arrangements were slightly delayed. She was flexible and patient & happily met us at our hotel. She was just a joy, very personable, interesting, kind & generous with her time. What a great start to our trip. Thank you, Roxanne.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review. We are happy to read you had a great time in Reykjavik. We hope that in the future you can discover another city with LocalBini as your travel partner!

    Explore Reykjavik in 60 minutes with a Local: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Explore Reykjavik in 60 minutes with a Local cost?

    +

    Prices start at $5 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Explore Reykjavik in 60 minutes with a Local take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Explore Reykjavik in 60 minutes with a Local worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Explore Reykjavik in 60 minutes with a Local?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Explore Reykjavik in 60 minutes with a Local suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Explore Reykjavik in 60 minutes with a Local?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Explore Reykjavik in 60 minutes with a Local start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
