With our selection of local foodie 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. The only "bad" thing on this tour is the fermented shark but hey, its 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 & interesting. All of our guides are experts and graduates from the tour guide school of Iceland but more importantly, they know how to entertain and educate at the same time.

5.00Our tour guide Paul was great! The food was delicious, we got to try fermented shark 🤢, had a hot dog and delicious soup. Would recommend doing this tour earlier on your trip as Paul points out great local restaurant spots to eat.

5.00Very enjoyable tour. Stefan was a great guide and we got to sample traditional Icelandic food in five locations. If you take the late tour, you will not need dinner.
Really enjoyable way to spend an afternoon in Reykjavik.

5.00Tour conducted by Palli, an ex-fisherman who injected loads of personality into the tour. I always enjoy trying new food traditions and this tour hit the mark. Finally got to try some of that fermented shark meat that you hear about. I'll mark that as 'interesting'! 😉

4.00Great activity to start learning about Iceland and its culture. Loved having Gardar as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable. Answered all of our questions and gave us great suggestions on what we could do after the tour and later on while in Iceland. We ate lamb soup, salmon crostini, goose crostini, Icelandic hot dog, cod fish meal, fermented shark, cake, and drink. Quite an experience for me! 100% recommend this experience!
Awesome start
