This was such a fun ghost...
This was such a fun ghost tour. Kristin did an amazing job telling the stories and keeping the group engaged. This had the most stories of any ghost tour (and also the most detailed and interesting) I've ever done and included other Icelandic history and facts. She took us to other parts of the city that I had not seen yet, including the graveyard which actually felt peaceful.

Ghosts, Folklore, and One Very Mysterious White Cat
Our guide, Kristina—with a K—was truly one of the most knowledgeable and engaging guides we have ever had. The tour ended up becoming almost private because the other group did not show, so it was just the two of us with Kristina. Honestly, it could not have worked out better. She was lovely, warm, incredibly well-paced, and a wonderful storyteller. She listened to us, kept us engaged, and never wandered off into unnecessary tangents. Every story had a purpose and gave us a deeper understanding of Reykjavík, its history, and Icelandic folklore. You could also tell that she was a true believer, which made the entire experience even better—especially because I am one as well. What was originally meant to be a fun ghost walk ended up being incredibly informative. We learned about early settlers, old beliefs, spirits, gods, burial grounds, and the darker side of Iceland’s history. Some of the stories were definitely a little ghoulish, but that is part of the fun. One of the most fascinating moments for me was learning that Reykjavík’s first cemetery was located beneath what is now the town square—and that there may still be bodies buried there. Whether or not you want to think too deeply about that while walking through the center of town is entirely up to you. Kristina also showed us places we never would have thought to visit, including the little garden behind Parliament and the ponds in the center of the city. These were not even on our radar, yet they ended up being some of the most beautiful and memorable places we saw in Reykjavík. The tour also gave us a much greater appreciation for the Settlement Exhibition. I already knew it existed, but after hearing Kristina speak about Reykjavík’s earliest settlers and the folklore and spirits connected to them, I now feel far more prepared—and much more excited—to visit. And then there was the cat. Just before we entered one of Reykjavík’s oldest cemeteries, a beautiful white cat appeared and joined us. It walked closely beside us through the cemetery, stayed with us the entire time, and only left once we had exited. A perfectly timed little spirit guide, perhaps? I will let you decide. This walk was an absolute joy. It was interesting, beautiful, slightly eerie, and far more educational than we expected. Kristina was exceptional, and I cannot recommend the experience highly enough.

Not Many Ghosts
Arni was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable, but our leisurely 90-minute walk was mostly about Icelandic folklore. I recall one very detailed haunted house story early in the walk. The remainder of the tales were about elves, trolls and the hidden people - interesting, but not spooky/scary.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reykjavik Midnight Sun Ghost Walk: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Reykjavik Midnight Sun Ghost Walk cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Reykjavik Midnight Sun Ghost Walk take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Reykjavik Midnight Sun Ghost Walk worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Reykjavik Midnight Sun Ghost Walk?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Reykjavik Midnight Sun Ghost Walk suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Reykjavik Midnight Sun Ghost Walk?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reykjavik Midnight Sun Ghost Walk start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
