About
Join us on a unique walking tour of Reykjavik, where you'll discover the fascinating folklore of Iceland. Meet the mischievous elves, the fearsome trolls, and the ghostly spirits that inhabit this enchanting land.
What you'll do
Embark on a mythical walking tour in Reykjavik and discover the fascinating creatures of Icelandic folklore. Visit the city's second-oldest cemetery, where you might catch a glimpse of the country's most famous ghost, the Deacon of Dark River. Along the way, you'll encounter friendly elves at a playground, guardian spirits outside Althingi Parliament House, and visit the Cathedral of Christ the King, which, as you might expect, is not a favorite haunt of the trolls.
