The Reykjavík Small-Group Walking Tour by CityWalk lasts two hours and is led by a local professional guide. The tour begins at Hallgrímskirkja, the tallest church in Reykjavík, designed by Guðjón Samúelsson, where the group spends about fifteen minutes. From there, the route goes downhill, passing Skólavörðustígur, also known as Rainbow Street, which features various galleries and shops. The walk continues past the National Theatre of Iceland, another building designed by Guðjón Samúelsson. The group stops for ten minutes at the Arnarhóll Statue to learn about the Viking Ingólfur Arnarson and the first settlers of Iceland. Next, the tour includes a visit to Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre, designed by Ólafur Elíasson, where the group may spend about ten minutes; however, this stop can vary depending on the route that day. The tour proceeds to the Old Harbour area, with a ten-minute stop to discuss its fishing industry history. Afterwards, the group visits the Parliament House (Alþingishús) for about ten minutes to learn about Iceland's political history. The final stop is Reykjavík City Hall, located on a lake, where the group spends ten minutes viewing a large map of Iceland indoors; this stop provides shelter during cold weather. The entire route is wheelchair accessible, all downhill from the starting point, and suitable for children. Group size is kept small to allow flexibility for indoor stops when necessary. The route may change due to weather conditions. Drinks, gratuities, and hotel transfers are not included.
