About this experience
The Reykjavik CatWalk
Join us in Reykjavik for a Cattastic private Walking tour of downtown Reykjavik.
This is a private 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 a coffeehouse to sip on Coffee or Hot Cocoa and taste Icelandic pastry.
If we are fur-fortunate 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.
