Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Reykjavik Bike Tours's own price and take our commission from them, not from you. What you get here is one checkout across operators, one confirmation, and one place to change or cancel it. If you ever find it cheaper on their own site, tell us and we will match it or explain why we cannot.

About this experience

Explore Reykjavik on two wheels with half or full day bike rental - an easy and fun way to see the sights, soak in the atmosphere, and discover hidden gems at your own pace.

Description from the operator, Reykjavik Bike Tours. Prices and availability in the booking panel are live.

Included

Helmet and lock are included in the rental.

Good to know

  • Warm, layered clothing (weather can change quickly)
  • Sturdy shoes suitable for cycling
  • Gloves and a hat or buff
  • Reusable water bottle
  • Small backpack or day bag

Bring warm clothes no matter what the forecast says - sunshine in Iceland isn’t a promise.

Cancellation for this tour

Cancelling costs 10% of the price within 365 days of departure, rising to 50% within 7 days. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a forecast the operator judges unsafe. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1Reykjavik Bike Tours decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
  2. 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
  3. 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until the cutoff shown above, the operator's policy after that.

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

    We had a wonderful bike tour with our guide, Adam! The bicycles were in excellent condition, and we enjoyed exploring Reykjavik and the beautiful coastline. Adam customized the tour to fit our interests, and his knowledge of Iceland and its culture was incredible - he answered all of our (many!) questions with enthusiasm. His passion for Iceland really came through and made the experience even more special. We would highly recommend this bike tour to anyone visiting Reykjavik!

    The best introduction to Reykjavik! Take this tour! George is simply the heart of the city. His love of the city, his knowledge of history was like watching Hamilton! One of our best memories of our time in all of Iceland and set us up to understand the city & the country. Our highest recommendation - !!

    Iga and Tomas were amazing at helping me enjoy Iceland by bike! They worked hard to secure me a gravel bike that fit well, communicated often, and made my trip a BLAST! You won’t be disappointed by their service or selection. Cannot recommend using them enough! As you can see, I was on a Celebrity Cruise and took the bike all around the country!

    Our 13-mile "Coast of Reykjavik Bike Tour" was fun and filled with local insights thanks to our guide; George was witty and exceedingly knowledgeable. Actually, the tour was part coast and part city. And there was ample time to enjoy the sights. Plus, George had an answer for each of our many questions. A FIVE STAR experience, for sure!

City tours — questions people ask

Do I need a city tour of Reykjavík?

Probably not. Reykjavík's centre is small enough to walk end to end in twenty minutes, and Hallgrímskirkja, Harpa, the Old Harbour and Laugavegur are all on the way. A short driven tour (/experience/1194803/) makes sense if you have limited mobility, a few hours between a flight and a tour, or want the outer sights like Perlan and Grótta without a bus. Otherwise, walk, and spend the money on a food walk.

How many days do you need in Reykjavík?

One full day for the city itself, plus however many days you use it as a base for tours. Most people spend the first and last nights here and take day trips to the Golden Circle, the South Coast and the sea. Three to four nights in Reykjavík with three day tours is a sensible first Iceland trip. Longer than that, move on; the country is the point.

What is the Imagine Peace Tower and when is it lit?

A column of light on Viðey island, just off Reykjavík, dedicated by Yoko Ono to John Lennon. It is lit each year from 9 October, Lennon's birthday, to 8 December, the date he died, plus a few other dates including New Year. Elding runs an evening ferry and walk to the tower (/experience/1301/) during the lighting season. Outside those dates the island is still worth an hour for the walk and Richard Serra's sculptures.

Is Viðey island worth visiting?

For a quiet two hours, yes. The ferry (/experience/1539/) takes twenty minutes from the Old Harbour in summer and five from Skarfabakki all year. There is a cafe in the old house, a small church, walking paths and views back across the city. Nothing on it is dramatic, and it is exposed to wind, so pick a calm day. It suits a spare afternoon better than a planned one.
