My sister and I chose the Folklore Tour and would recommend to anyone, who is also curious about the darker side of folklore. Einar was our guide and he really brought the stories to life - many jokes, committed dramatic performances and a clear passion for folklore

Maria G was punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable. It was very rainy and windy. She made the experience fun. I would highly suggest her as a Icelandic Food Tour guide.
