Fab walking tour with food stops - Had a wonderful time exploring Akuyeri with our local guide Jon who spoke perfect English. Had a few stops along the way to try food. Note the meeting spot is in the Europcar parking lot. Look for the the guides that say Saga Travel.

Feast in the fjords - Our guide was the absolute best. We were able to eat 3 delicious Icelandic foods while walking through the streets of Akureyri. Couldn’t have asked for a better day and experience..

Walk, Food and History through your eyes and conveyed by the guide. - Actually one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. Guide was well versed on history and latest developments taking place in the city and ferry islands within 3 hours of the city. I learned about what impacts were significant and change the course of life here. The food tour tied quite nicely into our walk throughout the city. The food tour started with a local hot dog and explanation of its presentation being slightly different in other cities. Next food was a fabulous fish soup at the restaurant in the Botanical gardens with lovely bread and yummy butter. Mug of delightful beer was served. Conversation was easy. There were lots of stops in each part of the city. Abundance of information given about the three sections of the city, sports competition, former cove area and housing, school requirements, summer jobs, churches as well as visually came upon each site. Heart shaped traffic lighting added to the softness and kindness that the people have for each other. I learned what every day youngsters and teenagers do in the city and the two islands nearby. Ice cream at a local hangout for inhabitants was a usual place for dating. So much to see and so much to enjoy. This tour became more customized to my inquires and made it more personalized for me. Quite a talent of the guide to draw you in to what the food, people and architecture of the town. Walk was back to starting point of the tour with a seafront type of walk. This tour’s elements were walk and food. However, it is more than that and you could do this tour over and over and over again and learn more and more and more about this city beloved by the people and the guide. Thank you so very much.
