Reykjavik Bike Tours

Testimonials

 

 

Dear Stefan,

Thank you for the excellent service you provided with respect to my recent Private Guided Tour of Iceland/Reykjavik. The 'Golden Circle' was superb and your geographical knowledge and awareness of environmental issues most informative. The photographic content more than exceeded my expectations. In addition the 'Bike Tour' of Reykjavik provided an insight into the history and development of Iceland. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Iceland and thank you for your time and effort in ensuring my weekend was such a success. Kind Regards Alan Tarry - Blackburn, UK.

 

Hi Stefan,

May we thank you for such a memorable 3 hours of fun, and you love and knowledge of the city will be forever in our minds. Many thanks for a very professional tour, which to us was special.

Hello Ursula and Stefan,

We did the Classic Reykjavik bike tour with you Friday 18 May 2012.

It was a magnificent experience and we enjoyed it very mutch. We had even bikes with our names on it; of course it was just luck that we have the same names as members of your family. It was also very nice to have Andri with us on the tour. Thank you again, Ursula, for the very interesting tour. We will tell al our friends when they come to Iceland that they have to do the biketour with your company.

We had a wonderful time during our tour. We saw parts of Reykjavik that we probably would not have seen otherwise, and learned a great deal from Ursula during the tour. We'd recommend the tour to anyone visiting the city!

All the best, Tom & Brenda - Boston, MA

 

Ursula,

We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful bike tour of Reykavik. Your tour was both historically informative and very entertaining for all of us. Most of all, we want to thank you for providing a tour that catered to the children. They had a wonderful time interacting with David, feeding the ducks, stopping at the beach, and of course the famous Icelandic ice cream!

Thank you again for making our trip to Iceland a truly memorable experience.

– David & Kathleen Beck and Rudy (12) and Sidney (10) – Baltimore, USA

 

Thank you Ursula for the special adventure that Reykjavik Bike Tours arranged for my wife and I during our long layover in Iceland. I would highly recommend that other people consider this if they are faced with an extended layover at the airport. A great ride and a wonderful lesson in Iceland and Reykjavik history are much better options than sitting at the airport for 5 or 6 hours. Our only regret is not being able to take advantage of your longer tours as I know we just scratched the surface in exploring your island. We hope to return.

Given the option of a sanitised car or coach and sensible clothes I would choose cycling every time as the only way to view the 'Golden Circle' in Iceland. You cannot beat this way to experience the stunning landscape and densley woven historical and mythical strands that compose the legacy of this most individual and eccentric country. It leaves you feeling 'on top of the world', panoramic sky, the big wide open, almost non-existant traffic. Sounds good? Well trust me it is courtesy of 'Rejkajavik Bike Tours'

The two bike tours Matt & I took with you truly made our trip to Iceland. We can't rave enough about them to all our family and friends. Stefan, we loved hearing all your stories and insight and knowledge of your home.

We finished our trip in Iceland with a "South Shore Adventure," but unfortunately, while the scenery was beautiful, nothing compares to the intimate settings of your tours. The larger tour bus setting just wasn't for us. While the tour guide was great nothing beats the warm, welcoming atmosphere of your tours.

– Meghan and Matt 

Liebe Ursula und lieber Stefan. Wir bedanken uns für die wundervolle Fahrradtour durch Reykjavik. Wir haben es beide sehr genossen und viel Neues erfahren. Es war eine nette Gruppe und noch ein netterer Guide. Mir gefällt besonders der Humor von Stefan und seine angenehme und charmante Art, uns an seinem Wissen Anteil nehmen zu lassen. – Carmen Rohrbach, Reisebuchautorin. Bayern, Germany

Hello, everyone.  I want to thank you for a terrific bike tour--very informative and a lot of fun.  Edda was a wonderful guide, and I loved it when she spotted the Faroese men in their hats crossing the square and invited them forward and told us about the relationship between Icelandic and Faroese languages.  This was the very best three hours of my two-day stay in Iceland and I will recommend it to anyone (young or old--I'm 64) who comes to Reykjavik and wants something more enjoyable than just a stodgy bus tour.  Keep banging those pots and pans, Edda.  Thanks so very much! – Bob Crossley, Boston, USA

My goodness was that the best tour we've ever taken! Stefan was born in Reykjavik and with seven degrees of higher learning under his belt, is very knowledgeable and obviously loves to share his country with new people. He took us all over the city, exploring areas of historical, pop, and gastronomical significance. We'd been worried after a morning exploring on our own that we'd have seen everything that Stefan would be showing us. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Stefan took us into some of the nooks and crannies of Reykjavik while giving us an entertaining glimpse into Icelandic history, culture, and politics. – Cubechick, TripAdvisor 10 July 2010.
