Reykjavik Food Lovers Tour - Traditional Icelandic Food
4.8
1017 reviews
Three hours, five stops, and enough food to replace dinner or lunch — with stories that make every bite make sense.
Full description
This is Iceland through its food. From a hot dog stand that has been feeding Reykjavik since 1937 to the street kitchen doing wild goose on sourdough, each stop comes with the history, the culture, and the people behind it. Our guides don't just tell you what you're eating — they tell you why it matters.
Guests consistently call it the best thing they did in Iceland. Come on your first day. You'll spend the rest of the trip thinking about it.
"It felt like a night out with a friend. Stories informative, laced with humour — and the food was wonderful."
