Such a great tour to do while in Iceland! Our tour guide Ester E. was very knowledgable and very funny! Had a lot of historical knowledge of the settlement of Reykjavik and Iceland as well. One stop I enjoyed was at the city hall building where there was a topographical map of Iceland and she was able to explain with detail the formation and geographic obstacles that are involved with living in Iceland. A must do tour!

Guide was very knowledgeable about Nordic/Icelandic folklore. I loved listening to his stories. It was a little cool walking but we enjoyed the walk. I would recommend this tour.

Our guide was well informed and knowledgable about the culture and history of Reykjavik. Unfortunately we had to leave the tour after a couple of hours due to another commitment.

Great information about the history and culture of Iceland and Reykjavik. Our guide, Help, kept us interested and informed. Would recommend this as a great introduction to Iceland if it is your first time there.

Our tour guide Bardi was the best. We had a lovely stroll through downtown Reykjavik where we were introduced to the Shop cats. The Cat Cafe was the high point of the tour. For once, I wasn't the only one stopping to get photos of the cats.

Learned a lot about some local legends. Our guide was friendly but also maybe a bit rushed and put off by questions. Overall we had a nice time and he warmed up to us as it went on.

Very insighful experience. Einar was articulate and had a great sense of humor. It was very thoughtful of him to send a photo log following the tour so we have a pictorial memory. The tastings were plentiful and included some "interesting" morsels. Highly recommend this tour.

An excellent tour by Einar Steinn Valgarðsson and I will return to go on another tour. The tour was relaxed and very informative, many things you would never read in a book or guide were included. Einar made it very comfortable and personal and wow has he got a great voice (come on the tour just for that).

Our guide was awesome! We learned about cats but so so much more about iceland, it's history, and modern practices. I highly recommend this tour!

We ended up taking 2 tours with Your Friend In Reykjavik on our recent trip. Our first trip was a drinking/Beer tour and our guide was Helgi. Helgi was so amazing and accommodating. He took us to the different bar locations, but catered the samplings of beers to our likings. We met a few locals, as well, as Helgi is just so personable and easy for anyone to strike up a conversation with. Helgi had a lot of interesting stories about history, but also about the recent history of Reykjavik as he has lived there his entire life. Our second tour was the Walking with a Viking Tour and our guide was Einar. Einar is a great storyteller and this tour was very informative. There was someone in the group that had mobility issues and Einar made sure to tell this person ahead of time exactly what was coming up at each turn and even slowed down to be sure this person was included in all conversations and stories. I would highly suggest both of these tours and would highly suggest both of these guides for your visit to Reykjavik!

Very entertaining tour. Our guide was so informative and shared some lovely family memories about Icelandic culture and history. We learned so much about Reykjavik and Iceland. I would highly recommend this tour.

We went on the bakery/ candy tour. Our guide was Mathias and he was very good and laid back. We stopped by several places in the downtown area visiting bakeries, a Greek donut shop, ice cream shop, and a restaurant for cheesecake with skyr. We also visited a gift shop to sample different flavors of licorice. My husband and I were the only people on the tour and we had plenty of time for conversation with Mathias. We talked about the history of Iceland and everyday life there.

We had the best tour with Einar! He was very fun and super knowledgeable! We had a lot of laughs and he gave us so many recommendations for restaurants, bars, and Icelandic music to try out. 10/10 an amazing start to our trip!!

Excellent tour of the vibrant local craft beer scene in Reykjavik. Our guide was knowledgeable and a lot of fun to hang with. Highly recommend this tour.

Our guide, Einar was fun and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the folklore aspect very much. Our guide was also very knowledgeable about the history of Iceland.
