Description

  • Itinerary

We follow in the footsteps of the British invasion of Iceland, using period photos and videos to take us back in time to it. Despite the serious subject this tour is lighthearted and also looks at the social and cultural effects of World War 2 in Iceland. 

Subjects we talk about include;

– US Military Presence 

– The Arctic Convoys

– Changes in diet

– Relationships between Icelanders and foreign soldiers

This is a walking tour around the centre of Reykjavik, the pace is slow but there are not benches at every stop in the tour. 

The reason for the no under 10's age limit is the subject matter covered, if you have kids that want to come please get in touch and we can do a private tour which is more kid friendly. 

  • A 100% charge applies if canceled within 1 days of the start time.
  • Free cancellation up to 1000 days before the start time.
  • City Square

    We start the walking tour in Austurvollur, the city square, outside Hotel Borg. 

  • Reykjavik harbour
  • Reykjavik Old Town
  • The German Embassy
  • Reykjavik Parliament

We go whatever the weather and are outside the whole time, so please dress appropriately for the day!
