What to expect

This Reykjavik walking tour is your introduction to the country. It will help you get your bearings and make the most of your stay in Iceland, recommended as your first stop in Reykjavik (well, maybe check into your accommodation and drop your bags off first)!

The family-friendly tour brings the history of Iceland to life with exciting stories and Icelandic mythology. Visit all of the famous landmarks in the city center, such as Harpa Concert Hall, Reykjavik Harbour, Hallgrímskirkja Church (you'll learn how to pronounce that), Reykjavik Pond, and the Parliament Building. You’ll also discover hidden, local spots like a visit to an Elf home, and other things you’d miss if you didn’t know what to look for.

Feel the unique, friendly atmosphere of this quirky little city, not just to see the most popular tourist attractions. Have a small lesson on the Icelandic language so you can not only walk with a Viking but talk like one too. The local guides will be showing you their favorite places to eat, drink and visit (and also have an intimate knowledge of happy hour deals that they're happy to share).

TUI Southern Iceland Tour

If you want to escape the city and see a bit more of Iceland, this trip is ideal. It introduces you to the country's south coast, where thundering waterfalls, snow-topped volcanoes and a stark coastline lie ready and waiting.You'll make a couple of stops at the area's biggest waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, where you'll have enough time to take some photos. Eyjafjallajökull is part of the line-up, too.The volcano that erupted back in 2010 is a picture of serenity these days, sleeping soundly beneath a huge sheet of ice and snow. The real highlight of the day, though, is Vik. This huge beach is covered in black pebbles, and boasts weird and wonderful basalt rock formations.
