About this experience

Discover Reykjavík from a unique perspective on this private, eco-friendly electric Tuk-tuk tour. The vehicle is reserved exclusively for your group, giving you an intimate sightseeing experience tailored to your pace — no shared coaches, no strangers, just your party and a knowledgeable local guide.

The Tuk-tuk comfortably seats up to four adults. If your group includes two or more children, the vehicle can accommodate up to six passengers in total, making this an excellent option for families exploring the Icelandic capital together.

Over the course of one hour, your guide will lead you through the city's most captivating streets and neighbourhoods, with two dedicated stops along the way. First, you'll visit Þúfa, a striking artistic grass mound that offers a playful take on Icelandic heritage. Next, you'll stop at Hallgrímskirkja, Reykjavík's landmark Lutheran church, whose tower delivers sweeping panoramic views across the city's colourful rooftops and out to the surrounding mountains and sea.

The tour departs from Bankastræti, at the bottom of Reykjavík's main shopping street, making it easy to reach from most central accommodations. Heated seats are fitted as standard, keeping your group comfortable whatever the weather.
