Full description

Join Your Friend in Reykjavik for a cattastic private walking tour of downtown Reykjavik — a private city walk with a firm focus on our feline companions.

We'll follow in the paw prints of cats since the settlement of Iceland, exploring the myths surrounding cats in Iceland and around the world, along with tales from cats' hiss-story throughout the ages.

Along the way, we'll stop at Café Babalú, where you can sip coffee or hot cocoa and taste Icelandic pastries in a cozy, cat-loving setting. If we're fur-tunate enough and the cat gods allow, there's a paw-sibility we'll catch a glimpse of some of downtown Reykjavik's most famous cats, including Baktus, Jónsí, and Ófelía.

We start at the pillars by Ingólfur Square, finishing at the Einar Jónsson Sculpture Garden by Hallgrímskirkja Church.

This is a purrfect private 2-hour city walk in Reykjavik for cat lovers. 10% of the profit from this tour goes to The Cat Protection Society and its cat shelter and hotel, Kattholt.

Itinerary

We meet up outside Hlöllabátar, facing Ingólfstorg Square and the two tall stone pillars. CenterHotel Plaza is to your right. Benches, tables, and a covered ceiling make it a comfortable spot to wait. Our expert local guides usually wear a light blue jacket with Your Friend in Reykjavik on the back.
