This was advertised as a good way of getting around Reykjavik and was great on the normal buses. We did have a bit of trouble with a female bus driver at the blue lagoon who had never seen the cards before and wasn’t going to let us on until she spoke to her supervisor who said to let us on. We did the 72 hour bus and was easy to use and to navigate the buses.

A great buy if you are staying in or near Reykjavik. It covers all the main museums, galleries, the zoo, thermal pools and the buses. It was a great saving and useful to know you didn't need to bring money to cover these outings. Readily accepted at all venues on list.

Great value and easy to use. I had no problem exchanging the voucher for the 72-hour Reykjavik card at "What's On". You receive a pamphlet with a map showing eligible locations for the card. You need to check their website to find additional places that offer discounts for the card.
