Fantastic experience
Sue_C, Nov 2022
Fantastic experience. Very moving. Fun to be on a deserted island at night. Megan, our guide, was brilliant. She was very friendly and informative & took amazing photos as we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights at the same time - bonus!! Would definitely recommend this trip, even if you’re not a John Lennon fan.

Great tour with a small group, 8 people. Walking around the uninhabited island with cold wind and creaky dock was a rare experience

JAMES_D, Oct 2022
We loved this trip. The captain of the boat was a great driver. The guide gave us a history of the light and a tour of the church on the island. Loved the music playing Imagine by the light. And we saw the Northern Lights which was a plus 👏🏻. Thanks so much.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Dear JAMES_D, Thank you very much for taking the time to rate our Imagine Peace Tower Tour. We're glad you had a great time on this secluded walking tour on Viðey island and what a bonus that the northern lights even made an appearance! All the best, The Elding team
Wonderful tour with very knowledgeable guide
Vicki_U, Oct 2022
What a trip! Megan our host was so knowledgable about the island and the peace tower. Great small group and the northern lights was an added bonus! Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Dear Vicki_U, Thank you very much for taking the time to rate and review our Imagine Peace Tower tour on Viðey island. We are glad you had an enjoyable time on our secluded walking tour with Megan - with the surprise addition of the northern lights dancing above! All the best, The Elding team
A great place to express world peace
MarionLavoie, Oct 2022
The tour guide was informative about Videy Island, the church and the Peace Tower It was a beautiful evening to take a short walk to the Peace Tower. Pictures were taken of the tower beams and different languages to express peace. It was disappointing that there wasn't a video from Yoko Ono and be able to place a message of peace as advertised for this tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Dear MarionLavoie, Thank you for the review of our Imagine Peace Tower Walking tour on Videy island. We're gad you enjoyed the tour. Rest assured that we'll certainly look into your comments regarding the video (which is available online) and an option to write a message of peace. All the best, The Elding team
Great!
Edith_G, Nov 2021
As a big fan of the Beatles this was a must in our trip. You get to see a bit more than just the light as you step into the island. The view of the city is nice and we were lucky to see the northern lights from there too!
Beautiful trip to the Peace Tower.

Lori B, Nov 2017
We had a great time! Our guide, Sila, was very informative, friendly, and knowledgeable. The weather was not cooperative but we made the best of it. We were very lucky to have a small group only 4 people and our guide, boat captain, and transportation crew member. We couldn't have asked for a better group. The Tower is beautiful! I found that this tour is not widely known in travel brochures and websites, but I found it and will recommend to anyone going to Reykjavik. It's a lovely tribute to John Lennon.
The tower was great to see but the tour...
mickeyd2v3, Oct 2017
The tower was great to see but the tour could have been better organized. Also there was quite a bit of walking in dark unsteady places and that was never explained in the tour description. We had a wonderful bonus on our ferry ride back from the Island..........we saw the Northern Lights!!! Two tours in one!
Beautiful! The snow made the light...
