1 hour tour from the Harpa concert hall - Ray was an interesting and entertaining tour guide. He gave us lots of information about the port area, shopping, food, Icelandic culture, and the government. Touring in a Tuk Tuk was a unique experience.

Great Tuk Tuk tour - We had a great tour on the tuk tuk. We shared with two fellows who were pleasant. Our driver stopped and let us have time to take photos at important sites. It was so much nicer than the hop on! We’d do it again!
