IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The tour is about 3 hours depending on the travel speed of the group
Remember it's always good to wear layers in Iceland
Your Guide will meet up with you at Ingólfur Square in the center of Reykjavik by the two stone pillars
(They are over 3 meters high).

Ingólfur Square
Our expert local guides usually wear a light blue jacket with Your Friend in Reykjavik on the back.
The Square is in front of Center Hotels Plaza, Aðalstræti 6. The Square is at the beginning of Austurstræti (Austurstræti 1).
If you walk down Laugavegur (The main shopping street), please continue until you come to the square, always walking straight down until you can't continue further.
Don't go to the statue of Ingólfur Arnarsson or the statue of Jon Sigurdsson at Austurvöllur, as that is not the starting point.
We recommend using Google Maps or something similar because Icelandic street names can be tricky.
Please be at Ingolfur Square at least 5 minutes before the start time of the tour. It's very hard to guide people to where the guide is located if you are late and the tour has started.
