    Pickup details

    VERY IMPORTANT PICK UP & DROP OFF INFORMATION :We offer pick up and drop off within the city of Reykjavik. We can pick-up directly from some hotels as well as from the Reykjavik cruise ship terminals but parts of the Reykjavik city center are restricted for bus driving. This means that tour companies can only stop at certain designated BUS STOP locations in the center of Reykjavík to pick up the guests from hotels or other accommodations located within this area. If your accommodation does not have direct pick-up due to being located within the restricted area, then you can use the map here down below for the walking route from your accommodation to the nearest bus stop.Please note that we offer pick up only from Reykjavík city center. If you are staying outside of the city than we can pick you up from BSÍ Bus Terminal.
