MEET THE ELVES, TROLLS & GHOSTS OF ICELAND

Iceland is sometimes called the land of the Sagas and on this mythical walk, you get the chance to hear many interesting sagas involving the hidden people and creatures of Iceland

The Elves & Trolls of Iceland

We will tell you all about the Elves and Trolls of Iceland, Ghosts like the Deacon of the dark river, the unique mostly aquatic monsters, the 13 Santa’s (it’s not enough to have just one Santa Claus in Iceland after all ;)), their mother the child eating troll called Grýla and finally the only known serial killer of Iceland in a land where it’s easy to get lost in the lava fields.

Storytelling is a skill

In 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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our private walking tour with Stefan Ivarsson - he brought the folkloric tales alive and even sang some (very dark) traditional Icelandic lullabies. A great way to see the less obvious sights of Reykjavik.
Great tour!

Magical and macabre stories from Iceland. Really enjoyable tour where we heard about elves and trolls, Yule Lads and their bloodthirsty mum, Grýla along with the founding of Reykjavik by the Vikings. Mathias was our guide- very personable and knowledgeable. Can't recommend this enough- a great way to spend a couple of hours in this great city.
Fun time

This is a very good tour of Reykjavik spiced up with dark tales of elves, trolls and hidden Icelanders. You even get taught how to set up a spell.
Nice way to acquaint yourself with the smoking bay

Stefan I. was our guide and was very knowledgeable about Icelandic lore. We were glad that he sang us an Icelandic lullaby, as we later saw a piano duo play it with new context.

It was a cold and windy day when our guide, Bardi, led us around Reykjavik and told us some Icelandic folklore. I especially liked the sorcerers spells and visiting the graveyard. Sometimes we rested in a less windy spot and then moved to a more windy spot for another story, but there wasn't anything new to see there. I think on a chilly day like that, it would be best to take advantage of the more sheltered areas. All and all a lovely time and I would recommend it.
Fun and informative

This was a fun tour! The guide was very entertaining and his stories were interesting. I totally believe in Elves now. The tour included a walk thru a cemetery and some of the "regular" residential areas of Reykjavik. We were 3 adults, this is not a kids tour.
