Tomas was an excellent guide. He is very personable and knowledgeable. He moved us at a good pace, never feeling rushed. The food at every stop was wonderful and even the fermented shark was an experience. Anyone visiting Iceland I strongly advise going this food tour and if you are lucky enough to have Tomas as your guide, even better. Tomas made this once in lifetime trip all the better.

Stevie was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about all things Iceland. We ended up having just a 3 person group due to people cancelling from weather which turned the tour into an intimate history and cultural lesson of Iceland. We made 5 stops and had 8 total dishes including the fermented shark and brennevin. I’d highly recommend taking this tour and hope you get Stevie or a guide half as good!

Bonnie was amazing! She had SO MUCH knowledge along with humor and personality. The food was incredible and gave us a chance to try items we would never try on our own.

Our guide, Silja Rós, was extremely accommodating, kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. She enlightened us with Icelandic history, tales, phrases, and traditions while being funny, charming, and graceful. Takk fyrir!

Our Walking Food tour exceeded all expectations. Our guide Day was knowledgeable and very entertaining. We definitely got a taste of Iceland including Fermented Shark :(. I would highly recommend. We did it after arriving to Iceland after traveling all night and it was perfect

This is a brilliant tour. Bára is a fantastic guide. Food and drinks were lovely (maybe not the shark!). Highly recommend

Bryn was a great guide and had a lot of knowledge on Iceland and the food scene. She showed us some great places with unique Icelandic food.

It was a wonderful and informative food tour with Dagur/Day - He took us to 5 establishments (cafe/restaurants/pub/and the famous hotdog stand) where we sampled Icelandic cuisine. The food portions were plentiful and so tasty. Day even brought us fermented shark to try. Throughout the tour the history, life of Iceland was shared. Plenty of time for questions. This is a thoughtful curation of Icelandic fare delivered by a friendly, approachable and interactive tour guide. Thank you Day and team. Would definitely recommend this tour! Word of advice- go with an empty stomach!!

Bryn was an incredible guide, knowledgeable, friendly, and full of great stories that made the experience unforgettable. We loved exploring Iceland’s traditional cuisine with her, from arctic char and cod to lamb, hot dogs, and even hákarl, the famous fermented shark! If you want to discover authentic local flavors while learning more about Icelandic culture, I can’t recommend this tour (and Bryn!) enough.
