The Reykjavik CatWalk
Join Your Friend in Reykjavik for a Cattastic Walking tour of downtown Reykjavik.
This is a 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 the one and only Reykjavik Cat Coffeehouse to pet some cats while we sip on Coffee or Hot Cocoa and taste Icelandic pastry.
If we are fur-tunate 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.
This is a Purrfect 2 hour City Walk in Reykjavik for Cat Lovers
10% of the profit from this tour will go towards The Cat Protection Society and its Cat shelter and hotel, called Kattholt (Cathill)
Expert guidance, fun, and some purr-fect cat cuddling.
Also included is a Coffee or Hot Cocoa and an Icelandic pastry at the Reykjavik Cat Coffee House.
Just dress according to the weather, but please wear layers ;)
Please be at our meeting point at Ingolfur Square 5 minutes before the starting time of our walking tour together
Your Guide will meet up with you at Ingólfur Square in the center of Reykjavik by the two stone pillars
(They are over 3 meters high).

Ingólfur Square
Our expert local guides usually wear a light blue jacket with Your Friend in Reykjavik on the back.
The Square is in front of Center Hotels Plaza, Aðalstræti 6. The Square is at the beginning of Austurstræti (Austurstræti 1).
There we try to spot Baktus the Cat, probably the second most famous Cat of Iceland (After the Christmas Cat of course)
Legend tells us that the Christmas Cat can sometimes be found in this excellent downtown book store
Nestled in the heart of Reykjavik lies Tjörnin, affectionately dubbed the Reykjavik Pond—a serene sanctuary amidst the city's vibrant rhythm.
