This is an excellent combination of our classic Reykjavik City Walk - Walk With a Viking and our Folklore Walking Tour

This is a relaxed walk and because it's private we can even pick up coffee if needed on the tour.

Our Reykjavik walking tour - Walk With a Viking is your introduction to our country. It will help you get your bearings and make the most of your stay in Iceland.   We recommend it as your first stop in Reykjavik

This tour brings the history of Iceland to life with exciting stories and Icelandic mythology.  We’ll visit all of the famous landmarks in the city center, such as Harpa Concert Hall, Reykjavik Harbour, Hallgrímskirkja Church (we’ll teach you how to pronounce that), Reykjavik Pond, and the Parliament building.   But, we’ll also share hidden, local spots with you like a visit to an Elf home; things you’d miss if you didn’t know what to look for.  We want you to feel the unique, friendly atmosphere of our quirky little city, not just to see the most popular tourist attractions. We’ll even have a small lesson on the Icelandic language so you can not only walk with a Viking but talk like one too.  We’ll be showing you our favorite places to eat, drink and visit (we also have an intimate knowledge of happy hour deals that we’re happy to share).

Then after our regular semi-circle Reykjavik City Walking Tour we will continue and get off the beaten path for an added walk to visit the beautiful Hólavallakirkjugarður Cemetary, the Catholic Church - The Cathedral of Christ the King, and more

Iceland is sometimes called the land of the Sagas and on this walk, you get the chance to hear many interesting sagas involving the hidden people and creatures of Iceland.  We will tell you all about the Icelandic Elves, Trolls, Ghosts like the Deacon of the dark river, the unique mostly aquatic monsters, the 13 Santa (it's not enough to have just one Santa Claus in Iceland after all, and their mother the child-eating troll called Grýla 

You will also get an introduction to Icelandic magic and the runes of old

On the long winter nights in Iceland storytelling has been the primary entertainment for people so there are reasons why Icelanders love books and have the highest literacy rate in the world. 1 in 10 Icelanders writes a book in his life so we obviously love to tell stories and you sure won't be disappointed by joining our walk and hearing a couple. J.R.R. Tolkien was heavily influenced by Norse mythology and the Icelandic Sagas when he wrote The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit so we will explain some of the fun similarities between our Icelandic Mythology and J.R.R.S Middle Earth. It's perfect for those who want a little adventure in their life because the story's come alive on our walk.
