About this experience
Step into a whisker-filled adventure through downtown Reykjavik on this walking tour made especially for cat lovers. Part history lesson, part folklore hour, part scavenger hunt for the city's most opinionated residents, you'll discover how deeply cats have clawed their way into Icelandic stories, homes, and hearts. Your guide — a self-appointed expert in feline mythology and gossip — shares tales of magical cats, mischievous folklore creatures, and legendary felines from Iceland and beyond, all delivered with a wink and a healthy respect for cats' general disdain for schedules. Keep your eyes peeled for downtown Reykjavik's most famous local cats along the route. No promises they'll show up (cats, as ever, do what they want), but the odds are in your favor. Halfway through, you'll paws for a proper break at Café Babalú, where coffee, hot cocoa, and Icelandic pastries await in a cozy space dedicated to feline wellbeing — the purr-fect chance to warm up and compare cat-spotting notes

Fun and quirky way to see Reykjavik!
Stefan was a wonderful guide!!! We saw lots of cats as well as had a good history of the city. But the cats are the draw for any cat lover! The pastry shop at the end was so welcome as well. Highly recommend this tour and tour guide!

Cat stars of Reykjavík
Bardi was a fabulous guide who clearly loves his cats and knows his cat network in the city! We visited many sites and many adorable cats but learned some city history as well as myths and local stories. A great tour for a different meow focused audience.

Reykjavik Cats!
We loved the cat walking tour! Our guide, Lauren, was SO much fun. She knew where to find the local cats and fun cat art. She also shared a wealth of knowledge about Reykjavik. It was a fun way to get acquainted with the city, learn some history, and connect with cats!

Document your arrival
We arrived early at the meeting point listed on the Viator confirmation, but the guide never appeared. I had to contact Viator myself, and the provider only offered times later in the day that didn’t fit our schedule. The burden was on me to provide time‑stamped, geolocated proof that we were present before Viator issued a refund. It was a stressful experience, and travelers should be aware they may need to document their arrival if something goes wrong.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Reykjavik Cat Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does The Reykjavik Cat Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $75 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 The Reykjavik Cat Walking 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 The Reykjavik Cat Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 239 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 The Reykjavik Cat Walking 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 The Reykjavik Cat Walking 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 The Reykjavik Cat Walking Tour?
+
Around 84 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 The Reykjavik Cat Walking 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.
