Reykjavík walking tour — Elysia Tours

Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Elysia 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

From the largest and tallest church in Iceland, to the museum of the first settlements; from the 4D Cinema that will make you FlyOver Iceland, to the most exclusive Private Club in the country.

In just a few hours, this educational tour will take you into the heart of Icelandic history and culture.

Depending on the time slot and season, the meeting point may occasionally change due to the opening hours of the places we will visit.
Once we'll meet, our guide will tell you a brief overview of the history of the first Icelandic settlements, and then take you between the center of Reykjavík and the old harbour area, up above the bell tower of the Hallgrímskirkja church, showing you a 360° view of the entire city.
Before saying goodbye, we will take you to eat what Bill Clinton called “the best Hot Dog in the World” still in the same area, to end our guided tour in an exclusive private club with panoramic terraces in the city center.

A very easy and ideal tour for those who only have a short time and want to get the most out of their trip without getting tired.

Good to know

Although we are in the city, in Iceland it is always good to dress in layers.
Depending on the season, the weather may vary, so it's recommended to wear comfortable and warm clothes.

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.

  1. 1Elysia 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 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?

The nearest cheaper Golden Ride – Day tour in Golden Circle area from Íslandshestar is €0 — €125 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

Elysia Tours · €125Íslandshestar · €0
How long it runs3.5 hours1 hour
Changing your mindFree until 24 h beforeNo free cancellation

The €125 buys you 2.5 more hours out and 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

  • Not for families with children under 12 — the operator will not take them, even with a parent.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.
