This was absolutely the...
This was absolutely the best tour we took on our week-long trip to Iceland. We knew it would be a small tour, but it turned out it was just our family, so the guide was able to personalize the trip and accommodate our interests. Guide was very friendly, informative, a good driver, and went above and beyond to provide a great experience for us. Highly recommended!

Great Guide
We had an excellent guide who was born in Reykjavik and knew the city well. He took us to some great venues and had many stories to share about the city and Iceland.

See Reykjavik with Thorii!
Our tour guide was Thorii, a native of Reykjavik, and he provided a wonderful introduction to this interesting city. Thorii had traveled all over Iceland during his life, so he was able to tell us fascinating tidbits that most others would not know. It was obvious that he wanted to pass along his great affection for the city. Among the many sites we visited were the president's residence, the Hallgrimskirkja Church (in which we went up to the belltower, thanks to tickets that Thorii bought for us), and the building in which Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev conducted their famous summit meeting in 1986. He also told us where would be the best places for us to purchase souvenirs of Reykjavik and Iceland. You will be very pleased that you chose Thorii for your tour guide because he is terrific!

City tour of Reykjavik
Very good comprehensive overview of downtown Reykjavik. Toured the church and went up in the bell tower. Did an immersive volcano experience in the Harpe concert hall. Visited the beautiful Viking boat sculpture and had some delicious ice cream!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reykjavik Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Reykjavik Sightseeing Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $523 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 Sightseeing Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Sightseeing Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 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 Sightseeing 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 Sightseeing Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Reykjavik Sightseeing Tour?
+
Around 6 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reykjavik Sightseeing 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, 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.
