It was cold, windy, and icy during our tour, but we still had a great time. Our guide was personable, entertaining, and super nice. Our group had only 2 others in it during the middle of the day, so it was super private feeling. The places and history of Reykjavik and Iceland came alive, and was by far my favorite part of my short stay in Reykjavik.
Highlights
Hólavallakirkjugarður graveyard with ghouls
The Reykjavik Pond and Icelandic monsters
Mythical stories of Elves, Trolls and other mythical beings
