Lovely tour with singing guide

Published on Jan, 2025

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!

A great experience

I went on this tour with my husband and we were very excited to learn about the Christmas traditions and culture. Our guide was great and was very informative in a fun way. We recommend this tour to any group coming! A plus was we enjoyed hot chocolate and treats.

Great tour

A fantastic time

This tour was my absolute favorite! She took us everywhere downtown and explained all the traditions, folklore, history, etc. We even got a present at the end. And she let us try some famous Icelandic cuisine. Highly highly recommend!!
