Lastly, you will come to the smashing Skógafoss waterfall, a pathway with 527 steps leads up the side of the waterfall, where you will get a view of the falls and the rainbows that appear on clear days.Iceland is a volcano country and on a clear day, you will get views of Eyjafjallajökull, Hekla and even the volcanoes around the Westman Islands, just off the coast.  You will be dropped off at your original pick-up location in Reykjavík around 7:00 PM. You will have time to get some dinner and then be picked up again from your original point for the northern lights tour.  From the capital, you will hunt for the jewel-bright colors of the Northern Lights in the countryside — Green, yellow, white, and sometimes purple northern lights are usually seen.

The Viking was knowledgeable and friendly … he really explained all sights and it was a wonderful experience. Even my teenage daughter enjoyed. This tour was a rebooked one and it went well.

Great tour to get to know the city area. Guide knowledgable and friendly. Right length of time walking. Good way to start a holiday so you know your way around throughout the holiday

Really chill tour of Reykjavik that you can take your time doing, exploring different parts of the city and learning a few fun facts and a bit of history.

Our guide proved us with “traditional information” and went beyond to give us other “tips” of things to do.

Maybe my expectations was bigger, rather take the hop on hop off bus, this was more informative
