Iceland is sometimes called the land of the Sagas, and on this walk, you get to hear many exciting sagas involving Iceland's hidden people and creatures.

We will tell you all about the Icelandic Elves, Trolls, Ghosts like the Deacon of the dark river, the primarily unique aquatic monsters, the 13 Santa (it's not enough to have just one Santa Claus in Iceland after all, and their mother the child-eating troll called Grýla.  You will also get an introduction to Icelandic magic and old runes.

It's perfect for those who want a little adventure in their life because the stories come alive on our walk. For families, please remember that some of the stories can be scary to little children so it's also possible to contact us regarding a private walk where we can dial the scariness down a notch ;).

After our lovely walk together, we end up at a great Icelandic restaurant for an excellent traditional lunch!

    My husband and I took the tour with Matthias today and it was just excellent. Matthias is a great storyteller -- I wondered the entire time if he had an acting background. The folklore tales were rich, sometimes complex, and always presented in the most charming and interesting ways. We LOVED the visit to the cemetery -- also Mattias showed great respect for some elderly people decorating a grave, which I found very professional and kind. I recommend this tour highly and would do it again in a hearbeat.
