An easy and fun tour
Despite the rain, “Stefan I” was a delightful and funny guide and gave us not just Christmas (with ALL the Santas) but history, folklore, stories about growing up in Iceland, cool shops and stalls (including a store with its own cat😍), and then a nice respite inside a cozy coffeehouse/record store where we were treated with hot chocolate and pastries. Something for everyone! Loads of fun in just two hours.

Christmas in Iceland Comes Alive
We did the Christmas Walking Tour with Einar on 12/1 and really enjoyed learning about the folklore and traditions--Gryla, the Yule Lads, and the Yule Cat--associated with Christmas in Iceland. Einar walked us around the Oslo tree, singing a Christmas song, and then followed that up with a couple of verses of one of his favorite Christmas songs in the Domkirkjan i Reykjavik - he has a BEAUTIFUL voice and it was such a treat to hear him sing. We finished up at 12 Tonar, where he played a couple...read more

Lovely tour with singing guide
Lovely tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and excited by the stories he shared with us. Our group loves the songs the guide would sing.The stop at the Candy store was lovely minus the gross candy (my personal opinion lol) you should still try it though. It was amazing to learn so much in such an interesting way.

I had Stefan as a guide...
I had Stefan as a guide and he was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and provided us with little surprises along the way. He answered all questions, taught us some Icelandic language, and provided a deep history around the holidays in Iceland. If you’re looking for something history & holiday cheer, this is the perfect excursion for you!
