Iceland, often called 'the Land of Sagas', is known for its myths and stories. Join a professional storyteller and take a mystery walk through Reykjavik, dwelling deep in Iceland's mythology.
You'll hear original folklore stories about Iceland elves, otherwise known as 'the hidden people.' You'll find the answer to the question to Icelanders really believe in elves and where it is possible to find them. Trolls are another mythical creature you'll encounter during this folklore-centered walking tour. You'll follow the footsteps of Reykjavik's famous ghosts, such as the Deacon of the Dark River, and learn all about 13 Icelandic Santas and their child-eating mother, Grýla.
This unique Reykjavik walking tour with Icelandic folk tales will introduce you to another part of the culture and take you places (literal and imaginable) where you'd never expect to go. The local master storyteller guide will keep it knowledgeable and entertaining the whole time.

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.
