10 out of 10!!!! Dagur (Day) Larruson’s Food and City tour was a 10 out of 10! Best food tour I’ve ever been on. My husband and I, along with our three children in their 20s had a fabulous time. Day was down-to-earth and created a fun and comfortable atmosphere. I loved that each place we went to we sat down at a table, had great service, and also got to enjoy the company of our fellow tour guests. At each tasting (which were plentiful) , Day shared the historical significance of the food, and answered any questions- food or otherwise- that we had. Day was also funny and energetic, creating a top notch experience. Highly recommended!!

Great Food Tour Thank you again Bonnie for the amazing food tour. Great food, wonderful guide and many new friends-what more can you ask for! Bonnie was very engaging and took an interest in everyone. Excellent selection of foods . Small group tour is so much better than tours that have 20+ people in group

Food Tour was the best!!! Thomas was our tour guide and he did a wonderful job. It was a delightful day under his skillful selection of foo and food stops and his delightful interaction with the group. I never write reviews but decided this tour was so exceptional I should give a shout out to him and the experience. Great activity.

Great way to sample Icelandic food and tour the city Really fun tour of the downtown part of the city, stopping at five different places for a variety of food. Our tour guide Ben was really fun and knowledgeable - the food stops were great, and we learnt a little about Icelandic culture and history. Expect char, lamb, the famous street food hot dog, and we had an incredible rye bread and ice cream desert by the famous church to finish. Would 100% recommend.

Great experience for first day in Iceland! We took this tour on our first night in Iceland and had a great time. Our guide Stevie was very informative and entertaining and had some great Reykjavik recommendations beyond the tour. The food was wonderful. I ended up trying and loving some things I did not expect (like plokkfiskur)! If you have allergies, they are good to work with, but I would recommend confirming with the guide or restaurant in each location as there is a lot going on at once.

Great Experience! Highly Recommend This was my first experience with a food walk and I enjoyed getting to try a variety of local cuisine. Agla was our tour guide and did an amazing job with sharing the history behind the food as well as Icelandic history.

Street Food Icelandic food is unique. When well prepared it’s worth an experience even though it’s expensive. Street Food unlike how it’s experienced in Asia, in Iceland is offered in cafes. Price-wise it’s not cheaper than restaurants but the flavours are authentic. One such outlet ( Laekjargata 8, Reykjavik 101 Iceland) offers top ups of soup and free flow of waffles with rhubarb sauce. The setting is also warm and nostalgic. Service staff are friendly and efficient.

Learning about Icelandic culture through the food Mimir was our guide for this fabulous experience. We thoroughly enjoyed his friendly and humorous demeanor, and we appreciated his knowledge of the local cuisine and the influences behind it. We got to sample several interesting offerings at a variety of restaurants. The walk was easy and Mimir pointed out lots of local points of interest along the way. This was a great experience and a good introduction to Icelandic culture. I highly recommend this tour!

Fun Foodie Time Ben was a great guide! He had great energy and a fun personality. The food stops were excellent and the chefs accommodated my food allergy, so I didn’t missed out on anything. We did the food tour at the end of our trip, in hindsight it would have been a good experience to start with since Ben was very knowledgeable. He answered a range of questions about Iceland and its history with a fun narrative. Although be aware, the focus of this tour is food, with a few tidbits of information thrown in. My friend and I had a great time and would highly recommend to others!
