If you like cats…… - If you like cats then this is a must do tour. The guide, stephani, was hugely knowledgeable and guided us admirably. The cats love the attention. A mid point is a stop at the cat cafe for coffee (or hot chocolate) and biscuits and, of course, many cats!

One of my family was sick and had to cancel at the last minute, and the company went out of their way to find another time he could attend once he was feeling better. Would def use again for their customer service alone!

Lovely tour - We had such a good time. There were lots of cats to meet. Bardi, our guide was great. I liked how he gave us information about the city and the cats in accessible pieces, not too overwhelming as some tours can be. The cat cafe was nice, and it was good to try the icelandic doughnuts. A lovely way to spend an afternoon.

Great way to get a general overview of Reykjavík - Good activity for your first day in Reykjavik. Gets you accustomed to the time change and an exposure to basic locations. Very low key walk. The guide certainly knew his cats.

Great tour with Stefán Ívarsson - We had Stefán Ívarsson as our guide. He was fun and gave us lots of knowledge. Stefán was interested in everyone and asked questions about us too. The cats were cute and we were shown various artworks too.

Tour for Cat Lovers! - Our tour guide was fantastic - very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about the history of cats in Iceland and got to meet several of the present-day city cats. We did the tour on our first day in Reykjavik and then had fun spotting cats throughout the city for the rest of our visit.
