We only used the bus to get to one place. On the way back, the bus stopped and we were told that it was done for the day. We had to get out and get a taxi back to our hotel. It wasn't worth the money for us.

Your bus and operating equipment were great. It was really easy to purchase tickets on-line. The route was very usable.

The first bus we rode was good - they had an audio presentation over loud speaker. subsequent buses - not so good as no audio - or no headsets to listen to audio. Driver couldnt help. So no different than riding regular bus past big buildings.

Hop on/ hop off is the absolute best way to see the city! I loved the convenience and narration of everything we were seeing.

Driver was on time ( scheduled times) and all the drivers were very friendly and helpful. My one comment would be that when someone buys -in advance - a ticket, there should be a map that shows the nearest pick up to a hotel ( ask where that person is staying).

Routes & schedule

Prepare for the vacation of a lifetime as you explore all of Reykjavik's best attractions! Your pick-up location is outside Harpa, the concert hall and conference centre. The best way to see all of Reykjavik is from the comfort of the bus, so ride it all the way to the end. Once you've completed the loop, you'll have a good sense of the city's layout and attractions and be prepared to go further.

To help you make the most of your stay in Reykjavik, consider this list of the three attractions that you really must see. The first stop should be at Hallgrimskirkja. It dominates the skyline in Reykjavik and is visible from practically everywhere in the city, but it must be experienced up close to be fully understood. Get off of the bus here to get your bearings and marvel at its massive height. It's one of the highest structures in Iceland, standing at 75 meters in height. You can get back on the bus and continue seeing Iceland, but stop at the National Museum before you do. The museum displays about 2,000 artefacts that span the whole human history of Iceland, from its first settlement by the Vikings to the current day.
