What to do and see in Reykjavik, Capital Region: The Best Beer Tastings & Tours
Reykjavik bears the distinction of being the world’s northernmost capital, and for many Icelandic visitors it also serves as a gateway to the rugged adventure options beyond. Recharge after outdoor pursuits in one of the many geothermal springs or luxurious indoor spas. We appreciate Reykjavik’s open-minded and energetic culture that includes a hip and internationally recognized music and arts scene, great food and notoriously "enthusiastic" nightlife.

Our first day in Reykjavic we walked the city with our guide Arnaut. He did a great job introducing us to what the city has to offer and the rich history of Iceland. Arnaut was a great guide and showed as much interest in us as we did him and his culture. After the tour we felt comfortable with the city and spent several more hours back tracking our steps to spend more time in the many shops and attractions. Thanks Arnaut for an excellent overview of Reykjavik! This tour is highly recommended.

We where picked up at Bust stop one in the centre of Reykjavik by a very pleasant young lady ('The German girl'), Faye I think is her name. On time. The whole trip was great fun and our guide/driver was funny, engaging, accommodating and a safe driver. We drove through snow storms that we had never experienced before (we are from Australia) and we never felt like we were in any danger. The sights were pretty quite as far as other tourists are concerned, due to COVID-19 which was rather nice. The farm visit was awesome - food for vegetarians was an option - and our host there was great and provided us with a very interesting bit of history for the local area and their family business (hope they are still managing with all the restrictions). I recommend this trip for anybody as the walking was easy and the bus comfortable.

Went with some work colleagues for dinner. The burgers were just ok, way to thick for our taste. The place looks pretty good and the location is amazing.

We booked the trip from New York, and we’d heard of Sarah through friends in India. The trip was very meticulously planned, and proved to be a very good respite during the pandemic. Iceland is a very beautiful country, and Arago added quite a few unconventional stops on our tripX which made it even more memorable.
