Die Tour war toll. Unser Guide Einar hat die Geschichten gut rübergebracht und teilweise auch auf wirklich gruselige Art zum Leben erweckt, also genau das was man bei einer Geistertour erleben möchte. Es ist kein weiter Fußweg, also auch ideal wenn man schon erschöpft vom Tag ist. Würden wir immer wieder buchen.
Fantastic! We may not have seen many cats that day, but learned lots of interesting info about Iceland and Reykjavik - would recommend this tour!
The story teller Paulli is as dedicated and passionate of Icelandic sagas as you could ever hope for. He is a wealth of knowledge, both local and worldly, which makes him easy to connect and relate with. Thank you for sharing your time with us.
