Private Combo Reykjavik Walk & Folklore Tour

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 our quirky little city's unique, friendly atmosphere, not just to see the most popular tourist attractions. We’ll even have a small lesson on the Icelandic language so you can walk with a Viking and talk like one too. We’ll show 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 exciting 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 primarily unique 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.
