Overview
Join us to experience an exciting and different side of Iceland, visit an elfstone in the Reykjavik city center and walk through two of the oldest cemeteries in Reykjavik for a truly haunted walk!
In the long winter nights in Iceland, storytelling has been the primary entertainment and around 1 in 10 Icelanders writes a book in their lifetime so it's obvious... we love to tell stories and are sure you won't be disappointed by joining our walk and hearing a few!
Your guide welcomes you at your meeting location and 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!
Walking through the city brings these stories to life and you will also get an introduction into Icelandic magic (how to wake the undead)!
This is a fun and memorable tour in the city, you will make your own way back to the cruise port at the end of your tour.
