Whether
you visit one of Reykjavik's famous museums
or check out the cafes and shops of the 101
District, GOECCO's Reykjavik Free Walking
Tour will help you get your bearings in this
often confusing city and allow you to make
the most of your stay here.
We'll walk you through the history of
Reykjavik, from its start as a muddy
colonial village by the smoky bay to
becoming a modern city in the North.
We take you where otheres don't and tell you
the stories you'd never hear otherwise.
From the wild history of colonial time under
the king of Norway and Denmark, to the
tragedy of the down town Architectural story
and British occupation, we aim to give you a
perfect introduction to REYKJAVIK.
After Goecco's Reykjavik free walking tour
you'll have all the time you want to explore
further with fellow travellers.
