Private Combo Reykjavik Walk and Folklore Tour
Overview
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, 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 favourite places to eat, drink, and visit.
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.
