Thank GOD it is SATURDAY Walking Time With Goecco´s Outdoor Adventures Reykjavik

The name Saturday?
This day was called dies Saturni, "Saturn's Day", by the ancient Romans in honor of Saturn. In Anglo-Saxon: sater daeg.

French: samedi; Italian: sabato; Spanish: sábádo. German: Samstag; Dutch: zaterdag. Swedish: Lördag; and in Danish and Norse: Lørdag ("washing day").

The names of the days are in some cases derived from Teutonic deities or, such as in Romance languages, from Roman deities. The early Romans, around the first century, used Saturday as the first day of the week.

As the worshipping of the Sun increased, the Sun's day (Sunday) advanced from position of the second day to the first day of the week (and saturday became the seventh day).

Whether you visit one of Reykjavik's famous museums or check out the cafes and shops of the 101 District, GOECCO's Reykjavik Free Walking Tour will help you get your bearings in this often confusing city and allow you to make the most of your stay here.

We'll walk you through the history of Reykjavik, from its start as a muddy colonial village by the smoky bay to becoming a modern city in the North. We take you where otheres don't and tell you the stories you'd never hear otherwise.

From the wild history of colonial time under the king of Norway and Denmark, to the tragedy of the down town Architectural story and British occupation, we aim to give you a perfect introduction to REYKJAVIK. After Goecco's Reykjavik free walking tour you'll have all the time you want to explore further with fellow travellers.

On this two hour easy-walking tour we cover the main sights of the inner city. Our unique style of combining history with pure entertainment has made us one of the most popular walking tour companies in Iceland.
