  We had a fantastic evening tasting a range of excellent food & drinks in Reykavik, exploring the city, and learning about Icelandic history & culture. Our host Sven was friendly, engaging & knowledgeable and we really enjoyed talking with him about Iceland’s food culture & production. Highly recommended!

• Best Reykjavik Experience!!

  Perfect Introduction to Reykjavik! After researching all the other walking food tours I chose this one and am so thankful I did! To start off, the company was quite helpful at answering any questions prior to the tour as it was my first time in the land of fire and ice, and a solo trip at that. I would highly recommend Jon for this tour, he was fun, knowledgeable, kind, and overall a great guide for a night of fantastic food, drinks, and history. I took this tour on the second day of my vacation, towards the end of Novemeber. The church was a beautiful meeting place to take in the beauty of the city. From there, we walked to various places for food, drinks and little tidbits of information. Jon was receptive and eager to answer any questions of food, shopping, history and all things Reykjavik. Every stop was perfectly choreographed for the best possible experience! Which honestly I wasn't expecting when signing up for a food walking tour. The first stop was the best cozy experience to be introduced into iceland, there was rye bread and fresh whipped butter that is a must try, along with a mini adventure of the taste buds not soon forgotten. All of the drinks were great with the ability to chose based on one's palate. The food was preset but absolutely delicious in every place we went, we even were taken to a local spot where Jon brought some treats from local farms that we wouldn't be able to try anywhere else! The end of the tour was perfect making me feel like the adult version of a 'kid in a candy shop' which was then paired with the best fish dish I had the entirety of my trip! Jon expertly curated this tour to include just the right amount of food, drinks and information and this tour is an absolute must for anyone coming to visit iceland. I would recommend taking this tour the first or second day of the trip as it helps set up where to go, what to eat, shop, drink, etc. 10/10 would take this tour again if I get the chance to come back!

  Fun, informative and yummy stuff!! It was just my local friend, me (visiting) and the guide, Jon. He does bigger groups of course, but it was just the three of us on a Tuesday evening and it was perfect. Jon is extremely knowledgeable about everything Iceland, from its geological history, cultural history and of course Iceland’s culinary history as well. Highly recommend this tour with Nordic Nonsense and Jon!

  Firstly thank you so much Jon for waiting for us due to our delayed flight. Cannot recommend this tour enough, such a fantastic experience walking this beautiful city and sampling its delights guided by a knowledgeable and passionate local learning some of Iceland’s and Reykjavik’s history. The food and beers were fantastic (maybe not the fermented shark) the highlight was the surprise cured lamb with cheese. This is possibly the best cured meat I have ever eaten. Book it you won’t be disappointed.

  Food, drinks and an excellent tour guide! Our guide, Jon, a native of Reykjavik, sprinkled our food tour with Icelandic history. We were treated to iconic food from Iceland’s humble beginnings, to traditional food, to the elevated dining of Iceland today. Wow! All of this was enhanced by various beers and... well, there are some secrets. You need to go with Jon yourself and get the full experience. This tour is SO worth it!

  We picked the tour partly because of its hilarious name, Nordic Nonsense—and it turned out to be a great choice. Luckily for us, no one else showed up, so Jon gave us a private food tour. We had a wonderful time: delicious local food, a variety of drinks, and engaging conversations about everything. Jon is an excellent guide—knowledgeable about history and very easy to talk to.

  I was extremely pleased with this tour. Even as a local myself I appreciated the highly curated experience of downtown Reykjavík's bars and restaurants. Our guide, Jón, obviously a master at his craft, took us through a delicious and interesting selection of food, beer, and cocktails all while sharing local cultural tidbits of Reykjavík. Would recommend, would do again!

  My husband and I had a delicious, informative, and best of all fun time as Jon shared his favorite foods and drinks in Reykjavik. We learned the history of the city while eating amazing traditional foods and trying out great beers and cocktails. He even helped us plan out our remaining days in the city. We’ve done a lot of food tours around the world, and this is one of the best.
