Our guide Lenny was great. He was fun and informative. He truly made our food tour special. I had high expectations for this food tour and it exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious and it was so much food. I would recommend dressing very warm if you plan on going in late October or later in the year. It was cold walking through the city in the evening but well worth it.

Ben was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for! He explained all of the dishes we ate throughly, gave us interesting tidbits about the city as we walked through it, and just in general gave us a great experience. You can tell he loves talking to people and about food! Will be recommending this tour (and Ben!) to all of my friends and family!

Our guide was knowledgeable, funny and a great character. The tour food was always an experience, even if it wasn't all to our palate.

Lenny was a real pleasure to spend the afternoon with today. His local experience and knowledge of the area was blended with travel from other parts of the globe to give a unique perspective. The dishes we enjoyed were fun and different and presented to us for a chance to savor a little bit of the culture here in Iceland. Would highly recommend as it was the tour we enjoyed the most so far during our trip. Tusen Tak.

Heidi it’s just delightful. She was so upbeat and positive. She explained wonderful things about the different foods we were eating and she would point out things as we went by on our way to our next stop. She answered questions that we had about so many things in Iceland. The variety of the food was wonderful. Well worth the value!. I feel like she went over and above to make sure that we were comfortable and we were enjoying our food. My nephew is a vegetarian so she specifically made sure that he had things that he could enjoy each place as well. It was my first food tour and it was totally delightful. I give Heidi five stars. 👍🥰

The food tour was absolutely amazing! We unfortunately picked a super windy day, so the walking was a bit cold, but Bonnie ensured we made it quickly from stop to stop and had ample time to warm up inside. The food was lovely - having a good small plate at each stop , we tried restaurants we otherwise would have never been able to fit in on our trip. Bonnie shared with us historical information, and information on each establishment. Highly recommend, and if you get Bonnie - a double treat!
