It was a very good way to get around the city & very easy to use. We visited several attractions museums & galleries over 3 days with the 48 hour pass. Saved us money & was accepted everywhere on the list.

The busses are punctual. The museums are small, but interesting. The people are very patient and friendly. There are many good restaurants in Reykjavik. The prices are, as warned, very high.

Money for value.. We went to couple museums without a problem.. Once you pick up the card in one of the museums, just show the card to the next place and you are in.. We tried to go to Videy Island but do to weather conditions the ferry was closed.. We did not use the bus rides but this is a plus for this card.. in addition you get discount in certain places.. Definitely worth the money..
