Visit the Elves and trolls of Iceland on this entertaining walk through the oldest part of Reykjavik.  If you want to experience an exciting and different side of Iceland join us and visit an elfstone in the Reykjavik city center and walk through two of the oldest cemeteries in Reykjavik for a truly haunted walk. We will tell you about famous Ghosts like the Deacon of Dark River, the unique Icelandic monsters, the 13 Santas or the Icelandic Yulelads / Jólasveinar, and their mother the child eating troll called Grýla .  You will also get an introduction into Icelandic magic (how to wake the undead). In the long winter nights in Iceland, storytelling has been our the primary entertainment and around 1 in 10 Icelanders writes a book in his lifetime so it's obvious... we love to tell stories and you sure won't be disappointed by joining our walk and hearing a couple.

Tour guide Greta was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and provided a fun insight into the folk tales and traditions of Iceland. An enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours in Reykjavik.

Stephen was our tour guide and he was amazing! Funny, great story teller, really informed and just fun. This sort of tour is right up my alley and I dragged my partner along, but when it was finished he was amazed at how much he enjoyed himself. It was such a great tour. Really recommend this one!!!

Stefan was great! We did this on our last day and it ended up just being our group on the tour. He probably went a little off script, but we enjoyed it! He left us with some wonderful words of wisdom and a positive experience of Reykjavik and it’s folklore.
