Stefan I. was an outstanding guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining. I would highly recommend this tour and Stefan I. as he was highly personable and kind. Thanks Stefan for an incredible evening!

Einar told amazing stories, legends, fantastic singer and shared his family's history and personal experiences thoroughly recommend tour. Einar gave valuable insight into icelands culture and history

This was a fun tour! Easy walking and great stories of the past. I now know how to summon a ghost! I also now know about the big stones around Iceland :) I definitely recommend this tour.

To be clear, the tour guide was a phenomenal story teller and is the only reason this tour received a 3 star. I thought the tour would be more local to the downtown in the city, showing more of the sights... even the catholic church we walked near we didn't have a opportunity to see the front if it... the weather was brutal and made listening very difficult.

Einar took us on an incredibly fun tour telling us about the local history and topped it all off with how to create necropants - which I might make.. we’ll see. Einar was just the nicest tour guide we’ve ever had. He also sent us a bunch of links and info AFTER the tour that we asked about while on it without our asking. That was so awesome and above and beyond what we expected. I think I also need to mention, the night of our tour had rainy and cold weather, there were just two of us and it was not cancelled. Other tours, in an ‘off’ season with inclement weather, may have. That says so much for us and we were very grateful. Again, such a great time. I cannot recommend this enough. I’d give Einar 6 stars if I could.

We really enjoyed the folklore tour with Einer on a Friday afternoon. The stories and legends he told us were very interesting and we loved the Icelandic songs. Einer was very friendly and engaging and made the tour even more interesting!

Our group took the Folklore Walking Tour November 20, 2024. Construction around the meeting point forced a location change. The tour organizers handled it smoothly by sending out early notice and following up with a reminder that included Google Maps guidance. Our terrific guide, Einar, gathered us at the meeting point and clearly mapped out our tour. Einar clearly enjoys his work as he injected his story telling and historical fact checking with humor and dramatic expression. He made what could be dry story telling quite enjoyable. It was especially nice to see how personal the tour was for him as we walked past his family home and visited the cemetery where some of his family lay. That added a human touch not seen on most tours. Ask for Einar if you want to see Icelandic folklore come alive with drama and humor. Plus, you will learn how to raise your own zombie servant.

Einar was the nicest guy we met in our entire trip. He has so much depth. His passion for sharing and passing on his cultural heritage was very special, and he ends the tour on such a heartwarming note that is much appreciated. He gives you the most important gift which is our common humanity despite being worlds away.

This was an excellent tour with a friendly and informative guide. There was a well chosen variety of food and venues. Our guide ensured that we were well fed and entertained.

Easily one of the best ghost tours I have been on. So this is not strictly a ghost tour as the name suggests but the mixing of folklore and ghost stuff works really well. It is both fascinating and scary at different times and it helps to keep it interesting by flipping between the two.

This was a fun walking tour. Bardi was our guide, a true cat enthusiast and connoisseur. He told cat themed tales and took us to different shops in hopes of finding resident cats. The cat cafe was perhaps my favorite. All in all a lovely time, would recommend 😇

A fantastic 1.5 hour walk around part of central Reyjavik with Einar Steinn Valgarðsson, who entertained us with brilliant stories about legends, trolls, elves, and ghosts. Fun, funny, and fascinating. Highly recommended!

Had a lovely time on the tour, learnt alot about Icelandic history and culture. Our guide took us to meet several of Reykjavik's most famous cats and to the cat café for warm drink. A good way to explore the city centre, would recommend to any cat lover

Wonderful experience. Our guide “Gooly” was tremendous. He had many stories and facts about the history of Iceland that he shared throughout the day. Can’t wait to book return trip and another tour!

My sister and I would highly recommend this tour, the your guide was totally fab, we couldn’t find the exact meeting point, the tour guide actually waited and came and got us, we loved all the stories and tales. We couldn’t rate this highly enough 🥰
