Meeting Point
outside Kaffibrennslan Greenhouse on Laugavegur
- We meet on Laugavegur - the main shopping street of the city. Crossing it is Klapparstigur. On that junction is the coffee shop Kaffibrennslan - you'll notice it because it has a greenhouse as it's garden. Ill be there by the greenhouse waiting for you unless your hotel is in the centre and then we will meet there :)
Hidden Wine Bar
We’ll start at the best wine bar in town - a tucked-away spot most tourists miss. Here, you’ll enjoy carefully selected wines from around the world, each with its own story.
Locals’ Favorite Cocktail Bar
Next, we’ll visit a cocktail bar known for keeping things classic at a very high standard (Amaretto Sour, anyone?). While we chat about Icelandic drinking culture, you’re welcome to ask for tips on restaurants, sights, or day trips.
Popular Pub
Then it’s on to Reykjavík’s most beloved pub. Everyone ends up here - locals and visitors alike - and on weekends, troubadours add to the lively atmosphere.
Live Music Bar
We’ll wrap up at a buzzing live music venue. Before leaving you to enjoy the night, we’ll raise a toast with a shot of Brennivín, Iceland’s signature spirit. If you’re up for more, don’t worry - we’ll already have pointed out the best places to dance and party until dawn

Tips and gratuities
The legal drinking age here is 20, please bring your ID with you even if you are a fresh-faced 30-something. Even if you are not drinking most venues will not let you inside underage.
If you have accesibility issues like using a wheelchair please just let me know in advance as there are steps to one of the bars and we will go somewhere else.
With over 12 years of guiding experience (the last 6 right here in magical Iceland), I bring a deep love for this country’s wild landscapes, rich history, and unforgettable adventures. Whether you want to explore Reykjavik's quiet corners, chase waterfalls off the beaten path, or follow your curiosity deep into the Highlands (when the season allows!), I’m here to create a tour that’s uniquely yours.
I’ve guided everything from WWII history walks to whale and puffin tours, and I’ve travelled every side road I could find - collecting stories, fun facts, and local gems to share along the way. Whatever your interests, I’ll help bring Iceland alive in a way that’s personal, thoughtful, and always a little fun (I am known for my excellent puns, after all!).
In my downtime, you’ll find me hiking, exploring in my 4x4, visiting museums (I’m a bit of a history buff), or just soaking in life here in Reykjavik, my home for the past six years.
I’m excited to meet you, learn what you love, and build an unforgettable Icelandic adventure together.
Let’s go exploring!

“World War 2 On A Platter”
We scheduled a combined World War 2 and Food Tour with Luck B. Lucky us! This was a great tour. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the British Invasion and occupation of Iceland during World War 2 and the American “invitation” to take over from the British. Lucky knows her history and our tour was jam packed with interesting stories and facts that captivated us and held our interest for the entirety of the tour. Although WW2 is her special area of interest we also asked her to put together a food tour to combine with our history tour. One member of our group has several food allergies that Lucky was able to accommodate. In fact she even provided a vegan cake for our friend to eat while we sampled some excellent Icelandic pastries. Lucky is engaging and fun and the information provided good insight into some little known events during WW2 that continue to impact Icelandic culture today. Lucky comes complete with British uniform and we especially enjoyed walking in the steps of the invasion force. We highly recommend Lucky and this tour if you are Looking for something a bit out of the ordinary.

Thank you so much! I had the loveliest day with you all, it was a real treat to spend time with you, and wonderful to hear your war stories in return to mine. I hope the rest of your time here is wonderful, enjoy your cruise and say hello to the whales for me in Ísafjörður :) All the best Lucky
