Overview

Enjoy a private 60-minute guided tour of Reykjavik's city center aboard electric tuk-tuks. Highlights include Reykjavik Harbor, a stop at Þúfa for a serene art installation experience, and the old west side with its historic houses. You can choose to visit either Hallgrímskirkja for panoramic views or Perlan as an alternative option, perfect if you have already seen Hallgrímskirkja. Conclude with a drive down Laugarvegur, Reykjavik's main shopping street, exploring the city's charm and landmarks in eco-friendly comfort.

The best part is, if you have two or more children in your group, the Tuk-tuk can accommodate up to six passengers, making it an ideal choice for families seeking a private adventure together.

Additionally, it is possible to tailor the tour to your needs as long as it remains within the Reykjavik central area.

This tour also includes pick-up and drop-off at your desired locations, such as hotels or restaurants, as long as they are within the central area.
