Reykjavik: World War II Walking tour around the city centre

Good to know

We go in almost all weather, so please dress accordingly - even in summer Iceland is colder than you might think! The only reason the tour isn't suitable for under 10's is the subject matter we cover. If you want to bring you little children with you please arrange a private tour with The War Tour and we will adjust the material accordingly. This is a walking tour and whilst there are benches at several of the stops it isn't at all of them. We do go up and back down a small hill but most of the tour is flat and there are no stairs (So we are suitable for wheelchair users)
