Great way to taste traditional Iceland fare! - Asi / City Walk Reykjavik was our guide and did an excellent job! This tour was a walking tour, yet so casual and not rushed. We tried soooo many traditional Icelandic foods and he also added a lot of information about Reykjavik and Iceland. Great tour and I would definitely recommend it!

Amazing Experience! - Marteinn was a fantastic local tour guide who knows the city so well! The value of the tour was excellent as we hit every major food recommendation you can find for Reykjavik! With just two of us it was less than 3 hours, but well worth the time all the same! If you want to experience the best of Iceland's food culture, this is the place to get started!

A Must Walking Food Tour - A must walking food tour! Small Group - 3. Wonderful and very knowledgeable guide. Pace was moderate. Varied selection of Icelandic food. Icelandic hot dogs, lamb soup, and ryebread ice cream along with other tastes of Iceland are not to be missed.

Highly Recommended Food Walking Tour - We had a fantastic food walking tour of Reykjavik and couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Martin. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared so much useful information about both Reykjavik and Iceland that really brought the city to life. The tour started at the Harbour House and took us through the heart of the city, finishing at  the Hallgrimskirkja church. Along the way, we enjoyed an amazing variety of local food experiences: tasting the infamous Icelandic hot dogs, delicious lobster soup, visiting a bakery for rhubarb crumble, sampling liquorice chocolate treats, lamb soup, and experiencing two fantastic dishes at a fish restaurant. The tour ended on a high note at Café Loki, where we tried rye bread ice cream—surprisingly delicious!  The whole afternoon was relaxed, fun, and incredibly informative. As a bonus, we even happened to meet the Minister for Industry, Hanna Katrin, during our walk. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience and a great way to explore Reykjavik through its history and food. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city.

Nice tour with a lot of food to try - The street food walking tour was great! We heard about the history of the city. We walked a bit through the streets, though nothing strenuous. The food was all unique and I felt like it gave us a taste of Iceland. This tour was also one of the most affordable options!

Amazing food combined with culture and history! - This tour was everything you need to learn about country, people and culture while getting a lay of the land. Martin, our guide, took us on a feast walk where we enjoyed many local favorites and more! The walking was very doable and allowed brief opportunities to digest before the next stop. Along our walk we learned about the countries origins, stories, language and important facts. A must do tour for sure.
