Our Friend in Reykjavík, Indeed!

5.00Our tour guide was "Paulie" and he provided an experience well beyond food! While we were waiting for the tour to get started he was already telling us about the local customs and behavior around the meeting spot. After some other people didn't show, we began our tour with just my wife and I, it became a "private" tour and was incredible. The walks between locations were filled with information and fun historical facts about Reykjavík. The conversation continued as we ate local food and traditional dishes, it really felt like we were just out with an old friend of ours catching up. Because it was just the two of us with Paulie, we were able to move from place to place rather quickly, giving us a lot of extra time to make stops along the way to learn about some Icelandic Traditions, local secret spots, and even learning about "Renting Paintings" from the library, and getting to browse a few of them. Aside from the fun conversation and learning along the way, the food was absolutely excellent and really gave us a taste of some places that had flown under our radar. We can happily say that this retired deep Sea fisherman - turned tour guide completely embodied the phrase on the back of his jacket, "Your Friend in Reykjavík". We will never forget Paulie after our trip here ends, and we hope to see him again when we return in the future!
Incredible food, great...

5.00Incredible food, great history lessons, and an education on the city and country with a personal touch. We did this hours after stepping off the plane and it gave us a great bearing on the neighborhood.
Highly recommended

5.00Our guide Bo was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all things Iceland, not just food. I hit him with all kinds of questions: culture history (including Irish influences on Icelandic cultures), economic industry, hunting… it was so fun and interesting. The food was great!
A walk through the cities with a full stomach!

5.00This tour was great. We got to experience many different traditional foods as well as learn a lot about Icelandic culture.
a leisurely delicious stroll through Reykjavik

5.00Instead of the usual stop at 5 or 6 quick spots (like food trucks or take out windows), this food tour was more leisurely and relaxed (sit down at 4-5 different locations) .... more time to enjoy the food and listen to our excellent guide. A good selection of Iceland cuisine (hot dogs, herring, grilled cheese sandwich, marinated shark and more). Our group ranged in age from 4 to 75 with our 10-year-old grandson rating it as one of his top Iceland adventures.
Fun food tour.

4.00This tour is a great insight into Icelandic food but portions are small and did not leave the tour feeling completely full which for the high price point I would have expected.

5.00Go hungry. Lots of food. Think multiple small plates. In snowy weather dress to walk through snow, slush, and puddles.
Fun food experience

4.00We had a great afternoon with Einar who kept us entertained and informed while we eat some delicious food and toured Reykjavík. Would recommend this tour and encourage everyone to try the fermented shark which is an experience! Come hungry as the portions at each stop are more than just tasters.
