During the long and dark Icelandic winters, storytelling was actually the main form of entertainment. That could explain why Icelanders are some of the biggest book lovers in the world, with surprisingly high literacy rates. That's why Icelanders are natural-born storytellers – hearing and telling stories are part of their heritage.
During the folklore walking tour in Reykjavik, you will learn more about Norse mythology, which influenced J.R.R. Tolkien while he wrote his world-famous Lord of the Rings and Hobbit series. During this walking tour, you can actually find out more peculiar similarities between these two distinct worlds.
This walking tour is suitable for all ages and the professional guide will tailor the whole experience based on the group's interests.

There is a saying in Iceland if you don’t like the weather just wait 5 minutes. This might sound like a joke but it is strangely true! Thanks to the beloved Gulf Stream, our country enjoys a cool, temperate maritime climate, this means refreshing summers and fairly mild winters. So basically, Iceland maintains a surprisingly moderate temperature all year around. For further information about the weather in Iceland and how to dress for it.
