COMMENTS FROM THE PRESS!

 

Interesting, informative, pleasant!

"The tour was interesting, informative, pleasant, revealing and above all, very, very weird, some-times even simultaneously combining all five elements."

Sindri Eldon, Reykjavik Grapevine , Issue 8 2006.

 

Enviormental Elves!

Entertaining, Animated and eccentric.

Whether you actually believe in ghost and elves or not isn´t really important.

Reykjavik Mag, Paul F. Niklov, Jun 2006 June 2006

 

Stroke of genius!

Then came his stroke of genius: he hired several mediums to walk the anticipated route of the city and identify spirits and any other unusual presence they might encounter.

Iceland Review, Eliza Reed, Jun 2006

Going On A Reykjavik Trip Trap Walk
To go on a Reykjavik Walk, meet your guide and fellow walkers on the pavement ("sidewalk" in North American parlance) outside the designated startingpoint at the time stated.

Your guide will be holding up copies of the distinctive Reykjavik Walks leaflet. (If you scroll right down to the bottom of this page you'll find a little photo of the Reykjavik Walks leaflet and map.)

There is no need to book for any of the Reykjavik Walks or Explorer Days - just turn up. There's no red tape with Reykjavik Walks!

But very large groups should book a private walk - it's even cheaper and you'll have your own guide!
Just give us a call.

A Reykjavik Walk lasts about two hours.

And they always take place, rain or shine.

Icelandic Haunted Walks offers a variety of unique historical Sightseeing walking tours in downtown Reykjavik, Iceland.

 

We are best known for our tours of local ghost stories and "darker" history which are presented in the evening, when the lights are still bright and the atmosphere is just right for a good ghost story.

 

Reservations are recommended. Please call +354 843 6666, or e-Mail: reservation@hauntediceland.com.

 


 

You may recognize our Trip Trap Tour Guides who wear dark woolen sweaters and carry a Haunted signs as they lead their group from one haunted spot to the next.

 

Reykjavik Trip Trap Walking Tours is a company dedicated to bringing Reykjavik's past back to life in fun and exciting ways. Too often, history - especially Icelandic history - is presented as being a dry and boring subject, ignoring the Icelandic past between 874 and 1944.

 

Not for us!

We believe that exploring our city's past is a fun and exciting way to spend a few hours, whether you are a visitor to our city, or a life long resident. We will offer several tours which try to present the past as an authentic playground for those who want to know how the modern city of Reykjavik came to be.

See the photographs!


 

Fact of the matter is that the dead have been on 92% of the tours!


Over the course of the evening you will hear a score of ghostly accounts, as well as being introduced to the history of downtown Reykjavik and the surrounding area.

 

The tour is continually evolving, many of the accounts originating from past tours.

 

Perhaps your story will be the next..!!???

 

Why not you?

 

Story telling used to be a great part of Icelandic life (fact). According to Indigenous teachings, people used to learn through stories. From early evening until rest, once the first snowflake had fallen, people would gather around a campfire and share true stories about life. This was before the time of the T.V.

 

People used to travel far distances to hear the stories and share in knowledge. Now, once again, people from the community walk together to hear our stories and to share their own.

 

Our mission!

To promote and enhance the city of Reykjavik through providing high quality Trip Trap walking tours, accessible to all, that feature the legends, history and ghostly tales of the city.

LONG-LOST ICELANDIC ART DISCOVERED

Invaluable artwork, including 100 smaller paintings, coal drawings, sketches and two oil paintings by Icelandic artist Thorvaldur Skúlason (1906-1984), which were believed lost after the artist escaped France during World War II, have been found.

The artwork was discovered by entrepreneur and art enthusiast Jónas Freydal (Jonas Freydal Thorsteinsson, who has been looking for Skúlason’s work for many years, Fréttabladid reports.

Skúlason made the drawings and paintings between spring 1939 and late summer 1940 when he lived in Paris and Tours. In 1940 the artist fled France with his wife and daughter after the Nazis invaded the country but left all his possessions behind.

Until now his work was considered lost forever except for one oil painting that Dr. Gunnlaugur Thórdarson managed to locate in Tours many years ago.

Freydal picked up the trail where Thórdarson left off and has been questioning inhabitants in Tours about Skúlason’s work for more than a decade when he finally got lucky and found the drawings and paintings among objects inherited by the heirs of painter Erlingur Friis.

Friis had actually exhibited some of Skúlason’s paintings in Randers, Denmark, in 1990, but news of the exhibition did not reach Iceland.
