If you are a cat person, this tour is great. We also got to learn a lot about the town. Stephen I was our guide and he was fantastic! It was a perfect size small group. We loved everything about it!

A must-do for cat lovers! We met and petted famous local cat celebrities and learned a lot from our excellent and kind guide Einar about Icelandic legend involving cats. The cat café was especially lovely, would definitely recommend!

The Reykjavik CatWalk

Join Your Friend in Reykjavik for a Cattastic Walking tour of downtown Reykjavik.

This is a City Walking Tour with a firm focus on our feline companions.

We will follow in the Paw Prints of cats since the settlement of Iceland.
.
Together we will explore the myths about Cats in Iceland and the world? We will even explore tails from Cat’s Hiss-story throughout the world.

Included in our tour is even a visit to the one and only Reykjavik Cat Coffeehouse to pet some cats while we sip on Coffee or Hot Cocoa and taste Icelandic pastry.

If we are fur-tunate enough and the Cat gods allow, there is the Paw-sibility that we catch a glimpse of the most famous Cats of downtown Reykjavik, Baktus, Jonsi, and Ofelia to name a few.

We will start up by the pillars at Ingólfur Square and our final destination is the Statue Garden of Einar Jonsson by Hallgrimskirkja Church.

This is a Purrfect 2 hour City Walk in Reykjavik for Cat Lovers

10% of the profit from this tour will go towards The Cat Protection Society and its Cat shelter and hotel, called Kattholt (Cathill)

Includes

  • 2-hour walking tour
  • Guide
  • Coffee or hot cocoa
  • Icelandic pastry
  • Tips

Meeting point

Meet your guide in Ingólfur square by the two stone pillars that are 3 meters high. Go to the Center Hotel Plaza on Aðalstræti and you see the square. It is recommended to use Google Maps, as the Icelandic street names can be tricky. The square is straight down from Laugavegur, the main shopping street.

Bardi knew every cat and where they lived or visited. He is passionate about cats. He has some wonderful stories and is willing to listen to you about your cats and for you to show him photos of your cats. Well worth the money. Bardi was lovely and friendly. It’s a must when in Reykjavík. 5 stars
