Experience Details

If you do a food tour in Reykjavik, don't you want to try out the truly authentic food from Iceland?


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.


Our stops are handpicked and offer traditional Icelandic food and ending at our last stop you are served a drink of choice!


Make sure you arrive hungry!
