The VIP CityWalk is a 2-2.5 hour walking tour in a small group designed especially for those who wish to get a more personal touch to their day in Reykjavik. The walking tour starts at the highest point in Reykjavík at the iconic Hallgrímskirkja and is all downhill from there! We pass by the most famous landmarks in Reykjavík such as Harpa concert hall, main shopping street Laugavegur, Þingholt neighbourhood, Arnarhóll hill, Prime Minister’s office, Lake Tjörnin, the famous hot dog stand, City Hall, Parliament and many more. You’ll also see some of Reykjavík’s best hidden street art as we introduce you to local habits, do’s and dont’s. You’ll get the culture and history of Iceland in a nutshell as well as recommendations on restaurants, bars and museums. The idea is to lay the foundation for the ideal trip to Iceland or to wrap up a journey of a lifetime with answers to the questions that have arisen during your stay. By the end of the city tour, you’ll have a local friend and you’ve felt like you’ve seen the city in a different light.
