Welcome to our Viking Age Walking Tour! Join us as we explore the rich history and culture of the Vikings, the seafaring warriors who left their mark on the world in the 8th to 11th centuries. On this tour, you'll learn about the daily lives of the Vikings, their religious beliefs, stories from Norse mythology, and the Viking's epic voyages to far-flung lands. You'll hear about the Icelandic Sagas, tales of battles and conquests, and see relics from the Viking age. Our knowledgeable guide will take you on a leisurely walk through the streets of Reykjavik, sharing stories and insights along the way. You'll visit landmarks related to the Vikings, such as the Settlement Museum, and hear about the role these places played in Viking society. This tour is suitable for all ages and fitness levels and is the perfect way to learn about the fascinating culture of the Vikings. So come along and experience a journey back to the world of the fierce and mighty Vikings.

This tour was fun- Our guide Einnar was phenomenal. He gave us a lot of information on the history of Iceland/Reykjavik, let us stop inside places to get a break from the cold at times, and even gave us a little bit of information on the music culture as a bonus.
