Common Questions
What Does The From Price On Each Tour Cover?
Prices shown on the site are USD from prices, per person unless the listing says per group. The lowest from price among the 37 tours is $40.38 and the highest is $784. A from price is the starting rate, so the final amount can change with options chosen at checkout, and the currency basis is stated on each listing.
Can I Cancel A Tour For Free?
Yes, all 37 tours currently listed carry free cancellation. The cut off time before departure varies by listing, so check the specific tour page for the exact deadline. Tours are booked through live listings, and each one shows its cancellation terms before you pay.
Where Do The Tours Meet In Reykjavik?
Meeting points vary by tour and the exact address is shown on each listing. Common spots include Harpa Concert Hall at Austurbakki 2, Hallgrímskirkja at Hallgrímstorg 1, Arnarhóll by the statue of Ingolfur Arnarson, The Irishman Pub at Klapparstígur 27, and the Old Harbour. Harbour boat trips depart from the Old Harbour area around Aegisgardur and Geirsgata.
What Is The Difference Between Private And Shared Tours?
Shared tours are priced per person and run with other travellers, while the 6 private tours listed are priced either per person or per group. For example, the 2-Hour Reykjavik Private Walking Tour costs $443.89 per group, whereas the Private Folklore Walking Tour is $163.90 per person. Check whether the price says per person or per group before booking, since this differs between listings.
When Is Whale And Puffin Season And Where Do The Boats Leave From?
Whale and puffin watching boats depart from the Old Harbour area, around Aegisgardur and Geirsgata. The site lists 4 harbour boat tours among its 37 tours. Check the individual listing for departure times and meeting details, since these differ between boats.
What Should I Wear And Bring On A Tour?
Reykjavik has measurable rain on 9 to 15 days per month, so bring a waterproof jacket and dress in layers. Tap water in the city is safe to drink, so a refillable bottle saves buying drinks on the go. Wear comfortable walking shoes, since walking tours cover central streets around spots like Hallgrímskirkja and the Reykjavik Pond.
Should I Tip My Guide In Iceland?
Tipping is not expected or customary in Iceland, so you are not required to tip your guide. The tour price you pay is the amount to budget, and nothing extra is added at the end of the outing. Leaving a small tip for exceptional service is a matter of personal choice rather than local practice.
How Do Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tickets Work?
Tickets are valid for 24 or 48 hours, letting you board and get off at stops along the route as often as you like within that window. Operator listings show buses roughly every 45 minutes, with a full loop taking about 80 to 85 minutes. The service has periodic seasonal suspensions, so confirm the current schedule on the listing before you buy.
