About this experience

Follow us on a journey through Iceland's dark and twisted Christmas traditions and folklore. Walk with us through the colourful streets of Reykjavík, past popular landmarks as we tell you stories about the Icelandic Santas, Christmas cat, hidden people, traditional foods and Christmas traditions. We will also share stories with you that show the grim and murky side of Christmas in Iceland.

Cancellation for this tour

Cancelling costs 50% of the price within 2 days of departure. 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.

1Funky Iceland 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 the cutoff shown above, 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 — €17 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

Changing your mind	Not stated	Free until 2 h before

On everything we can measure, the BagBee tour is the better buy. The €17 is not buying anything we can point to, so unless you want this operator in particular, take the cheaper one.

This will be my go to place should I find myself back in Kópavogur. The service was professional, prompt, and friendly. They are one of the seafood/shellfish free places in the food court, which is great for people with these type of allergies. The food is flavorful and high quality. Delicious!

So so so good! Eleonora was very friendly and kind and the food was outstanding! The butter chicken was as creamy and delicious as in a good Indian restaurant in London, so much better than what I expected from a mall's food court. The burger was amazing as well, this was seriously the best meal we had since we arrived to Iceland!

Second time dining at Funky Bhangra. First time at this branch. Setup in a food court. Food is amazing. Great flavours. Rate this place highly. A little expensive but I would say it's worth it.

This is NOT Indian food. This is some vague form of fusion, attempted by someone who knows nothing about Indian food.
