    Nice to see.

    Great to see the tower before it was lit (Oct. 9). The island is otherwise quite minimal, though for a time in the early 1800's it was the capital of Iceland and where the governor resided.

    Tour guide was awesome !

    Smashing that like button for Knut ! He was the most wonderful guide ever- super knowledgeable dude when it comes to marine biology, besides the cool tower we got plenty of information about the marine ecosystem surrounding the island, we got to see the northern lights and walked through quiet, tiny adorable church, enjoyed some hot chocolate! 100/10 would recommend, even if you are not Lennon fan!

    Walk was a little longer...

    Walk was a little longer than I expected. Hot chocolate was good. Crew were polite and friendly. We saw northern lights!

    Peace Memorial

    It was amazing. Boat ride over was fun. Once there it was amazing to go to the memorial. It was absolutely beautiful. As we were leaving, the northern lights wrapping around the lights from the memorial. It was breath taking

    Imagine Peace Tower Tour on Viðey island | John Lennon tribute: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Imagine Peace Tower Tour on Viðey island | John Lennon tribute cost?

    +

    Prices start at $140 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 Imagine Peace Tower Tour on Viðey island | John Lennon tribute take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours 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 Imagine Peace Tower Tour on Viðey island | John Lennon tribute worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 37 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 Imagine Peace Tower Tour on Viðey island | John Lennon tribute?

    +

    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 Imagine Peace Tower Tour on Viðey island | John Lennon tribute suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Imagine Peace Tower Tour on Viðey island | John Lennon tribute?

    +

    Around 13 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Imagine Peace Tower Tour on Viðey island | John Lennon tribute 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, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. 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.
