Tuk Tuk Tours is the latest, and one of the most delightful additions to the colourful roster of Icelandic tour operators. Owned and run by Ólafur Guðmundsson, a veteran in the tourism industry, and journalist and historian Kolbeinn Óttarsson Proppé, the company aims to offer customers a unique experience, while enjoying Reykjavík’s sites in an eco-friendly manner.
It was Ólafur who first got the idea of importing electric auto rickshaws into Iceland. The idea had been percolating for some time before he finally took the plunge and brought Kolbeinn on board.
The rickshaws are manufactured in the Netherlands, are environmentally friendly, quiet, EU- certified, and very durable: perfect for Icelandic weather conditions. Kolbeinn and Ólafur will operate six tuk tuks, each of which can carry up to six passengers. Due to the three-wheeler’s compact size, it can easily take you down all of Reykjavík’s charming old streets, and even into some tight corners where tour buses can’t fit.
The tours begin at Harpa Concert Hall and will cover every sight in Reykjavik worth seeing: Hallgrímskirkja Church, the bustling Grandi harbour area, the Parliament, the City Hall, the Pond, the charming old Grjótaþorp neighbourhood, and many other historical sites.
Operate all year around
The chauffeurs will tell passengers all about downtown Reykjavík and its sites and landmarks. Passengers will experience the historic sites, the architecture, the main tourist attractions, and the everyday life of the residents of Reykjavík’s oldest neighbourhoods in a unique way.
“We’re very careful when it comes to choosing our staff. What we’d like to see, and actually encourage, is that each of them brings their own individual style to the tours,” Kolbeinn explains.
The company will operate all year around, also during winter. “The tuk tuks are roofed, heated, and have all-season tires and safety belts, meaning our customers will be able to stay snug and safe while enjoying the city’s sites, no matter the season,” Kolbeinn concludes with a smile.
