Sagas of Western Iceland Tour
Join saga scholars John Sexton and Andy Pfrenger, together with friend of the Saga Thing podcast (and professional tour guide) Björn Grímsson, on an unforgettable saga-themed tour of Western Iceland including the lands of Snorri Sturluson, Eirík the Red, Egil Skallagrímsson, and the heroes of Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
From the haunting peaks of Snæfellsjökull to the moss-draped lava fields and fishing villages that echo with stories, we’ll retrace the dramatic footsteps of saga heroes, shady chieftains, and the occasional ghost seal.
