Private Food Walking Tour in Reykjavik
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
With our selection of local food treats you can check off a lot of things on your Icelandic food bucket list, and you sure won’t be disappointed with the quality of the restaurants we handpicked as our partners.
Our Reykjavik food walk is also good to get oriented in the old Reykjavik city center. All our guides are graduates from the Icelandic Tourist guide school but more importantly, they know how to entertain as well as to educate.
The only bad thing on this tour is the fermented shark, but hey, it's an adventure, and what does not kill you makes you stronger and cooler back home ;).
One of the best things about doing a food tour is getting a sense of the history of the country while eating something delicious & exciting. You will also get tips on Food, Fun & Drink for the rest of our stay in Reykjavik so perfect as one of the first stops while in Reykjavik.
We do of course accommodate dietary restrictions & allergies but traditional Icelandic food is meat, fish, and dairy.

Unprofessional Guide, Poor English, No Engagement, and Inappropriate Political Propaganda

1.00We booked a private Reykjavik food tour with guide Christina and had a deeply upsetting experience. Not only was her English poor and engagement with the children non-existent, but she also loudly voiced extreme political views. Wearing propaganda symbols and making openly antisemitic statements during what should have been a fun family experience left us feeling unsafe on our trip with children. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable.

1.00Our private food tour was deeply disappointing. The guide’s English was poor, she made no effort to engage the children, and showed little knowledge or professionalism. Most concerning, she openly displayed and voiced extreme political propaganda, which was offensive and entirely inappropriate in a tour setting. This was not what we expected or paid for.

5.00Our guide, Gardar, was knowledgeable, personable, and showed us a taste of local food, that we would not have otherwise sampled. Our favorites were the smoked lamb tartar and the crowberry jam! He also gave us useful tips on local culture and museums to visit the next day. We recommend Gardar as he customizes the discussions to his clients interests, and gives us a peak of local Icelandic living.

5.00Robyn was a great host; the conversation, food and the stop at the flea market. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip. So the food, I'm glad I got to try the Icelandic hotdog and the fermented shark with cordial chaser. The lamb soup was fantastic as were the other selections. Thank you Robyn.
Great Time!
