5.00We had the best food walk experience with Arndis as our guide. She was so personable and knowledgeable of the area and food. We thoroughly enjoyed each stop and the variety of tastings. Arndis was able to answer our questions about the area and Icelandic traditions that we were curious about. It was a beautiful day and we would 100% recommend!

5.00Dagur was our guide, born and raised in Akureyri. Not only did he introduce us to classic delicious Icelandic staples, he related lots of fun Icelandic lore about Christmas and growing up in Akureyri. Highly recommended by my wife and I who have done lots of foodie tours all over the world.

5.00Great food stops. Guide was special. He is starting up a new business and at the moment he is a one man show. But not a rookie as he has years of experience with food tours he hosted in Reykjavik.

4.00It was more of a dining experience than a walk. Also logical that it is only a small place. Tagurrrrrrr 😉 is an enthusiastic guide with beautiful stories and info about Iceland. Due to the cancellation of a participating eatery, the guide immediately came up with another solution. The food was delicious!
You simply must try the Akureyri Foodtour if you want to eat Icelandic food and get to know the local culture!

Delicious Walk through Akureyri

5.00Dagur is an awesome guide! He tells a lot about the history of Akureyri and Iceland in general. We have been in Reykjavik first and were doing the Food Walk over there. The one in Akureyri just shares the hotdog and also this is different in the two cities. Two mostly different experiences. You get a really nice taste into the different delicious specialities offered in Iceland/Akureyri.
