Our guide, Hrafyn, was a delight to explore Reykjavik and learn the history and local folklore. He was very patient in answering questions and shared many stories. Found the ancient history of Iceland to present day a great lesson in perseverance and determination to maintain a culture and lifestyle. Truly enjoyable outing. Would highly recommend this tour with Hrafyn.

Stephan I was great and very informative. Nothing more to add. 100 character minimum is ridiculous requirement.

This was a wonderful introduction to Reykjavik and Iceland. Einar made the history of the Iceland and the Vikings come to life with his story telling which brought to life the stories of Iceland. The walk was very enjoyable and Einar showed us all of the sites of Reykjavik to include some of his personal locations. This tour was well worth the time and money and I would recommend it to all for an overview of both Iceland and Reykjavik.

The tour was individual-interesting-Icelandic with great insights and history(s) and therefore highly recommended.
Thank you Laufy!
