5.00Lovely small group tour with Einar as our guide. He was very informative and gave lots of interesting facts about the area and the food. He was welcoming and made the group feel comfortable. We were not rushed and there was no pressure to try anything that you didn't want to try. He asked about food restrictions and was great at making accommodations as needed. I don't generally like to eat fish but was open to the experience. The food sampled was varied and I found myself enjoying some of the more fishy dishes. I even tried the infamous fermented shark! Highly recommend for the food curious.

5.00If you want a memorable experience take the time to go on this tour. One learn much more than the culinary delight of Iceland. Our guide was very knowledgeable about culinary traditions and also a history buff. We had a fantastic time with Paul. Thank you

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!
