Cancellation for this tour
Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. 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.
- 1Reykjavik Wayfinder 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.
- 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.
- 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 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?
The nearest cheaper Reykjavík Luggage Storage in BSI Bus Terminal from BagBee is €12 — €106 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.
| Reykjavik Wayfinder · €118 | BagBee · €12 | |
|---|---|---|
| Changing your mind | Free until 24 h before | Free until 2 h before |
The €106 buys you free cancellation up to 24 h before. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.
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.
Who this is not for
- Children under 3 cannot join this one.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.
Why we list it
Reykjavik Wayfinder is one of 204 operators we work with — chosen for reliability, honest descriptions and how they treat guests when weather changes plans. We don't list everything; we list what we'd book ourselves. The six checks every operator passes →
Read before you book
- Reykjavík history walk: street art, punk or folkloreFour small-group walks in central Reykjavík from €118 to €193. Which one fits which traveller, how long each takes and where each one is thin.
- Reykjavík walking tour: free, paid or self-guided?A tip-based tour is fine for an overview. Pay for a small group if you want a guide who can answer questions. Self-guided works too: the centre is walkable in an hour.
