Excellent food ( and drink) tour in Rejkavick. Jon was an engaging guide with lots of local knowledge... both of the culinary scene in the city and the local history too. He was joined by Atli who was just as informative with lots of jokes shared as we walked. Lots of excellent food choices and local drinks a plenty. Well worth it as a first night activity in the city

I wouldn’t have changed a thing about this tour. Our guide was like a friend walking us to each stop and sharing history, culture, and great food and drinks. The variety was perfect and the length of the tour was great. 10/10 recommend for anyone coming to Reykjavík

Sven was a great guide very knowledgeable on local history and landmarks, fun personality, great food and drinks. As a well as excellent recommendations on other things to do while in Iceland. Won’t find a tour like this anywhere else. Nordic Nonsense is the way to go

My second time on this tour and even better than I remembered. Food was great, booze was on point and our guide Johnny was terrific as always. Highly recommend. Would go again.

Svenni was our guide, and instantly felt like an old friend (as evidenced by all the locals and tourists who greeted him along our way). A laid-back and conversational vibe made learning about local legends and lore interesting and effortless. Svenni joined us for each tasting adventure and seemed to have as much fun as we did! One of my favorite local insights was that Svenni was able to tell us about some special stores with true local craftsmanship, so we could find authentic Icelandic clothing and wares made by hand, by real people (rather than “designed in Iceland” and then manufactured overseas!). It was really helpful to know how to channel our tourist funds to the true local economy, rather than the tourist traps. It was great fun to sample some of Iceland’s more exotic foods, as well as some exciting new tastes that I’ll now permanently crave. Svenni also found several ways to make the tour surprisingly personal and intimate. Our friend group of six made up most of the group, but we made friends with a solo traveler from Scotland too, which was an added bonus. The walking tour with historical facts, punctuated by divine and/or infamous food and drinks made this tour nonstop fun and fascination. Svenni was the best! I could not recommend this tour more wholeheartedly. Do not miss!!

We had a great time with Nordic nonsense. The guide was knowledgeable and funny. He was able to add personal stories to every point of interest to keep the history side from getting too dry. The food and drink stops were perfect. We got to taste the expected Icelandic food that now only tourist eat (looking at you fermented shark) and amazing food that is eaten on the regular. There was a lot of walking but it was at a manageable pace.

We had the best time on this tour! The foods we tried were excellent- we DID get to try a tiny bite of the fermented shark. There were so many new foods to try and great drinks to have on the tour - also we got some great recommendations from our guide. 10/10
