Despite the rainy weather, we had a wonderful time on the Folklore Walk. Strolling through Reykjavík’s old districts while listening to fascinating Icelandic legends and local stories created such a unique atmosphere. Our guide Dui was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of passion. The absolute highlight was hearing them sing traditional Icelandic folk songs during the tour. It was a truly special and unforgettable experience that made the walk feel authentic and magical. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover Icelandic culture beyond the usual tourist attractions!

You have to keep Arni! We learned much more about Iceland than just the food. His personality is fantastic almost like he was born for this job. We are still with him on this tour and I am so impressed. He was engaging with our group of 8. Definitely recommend to everyone especially with Arni! SKULL!
