    Highly Recommend

    My husband and I ended up being the only ones on this tour and I am not gonna like, we LOVED that! Our tour guide Árni was FANTASTIC. From the Icelandic History to the Culture, we learned so much and had an absolute blast! It felt like we were on a private tour with a local friend!

    Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $125 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 Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour 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 Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 175 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 Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour?

    +

    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 Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour 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 Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour?

    +

    Around 61 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 Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour 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.

    What is included in Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Professional guide; Alcoholic beverages; and Beverages. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour?

    +

    Outside Hlöllabátar, facing Ingólfstorg Square and the two tall stone pillars. Center Hotel Plaza is to your right. Benches, tables, and a covered ceiling make it a comfortable spot to wait. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers; and Not wheelchair accessible unless it's a private tour then we will make arrangements. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Reykjavik Beer & Booze Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
