Reykjavík Beer and Booze Tour - This was a very enjoyable tour. Oli was a knowledgeable guide providing us with information about the beers we sampled. He included a lot of historical information about the places we visited. We had so much fun. This was a great way to end our incredible trip to Iceland.

Great boozy walk of downtown Reykjavik - Mathias was a great tour guide to show us Reykjavik! He was exceptional because he also is a tour guide for history/folk tours of the area. Our group got a lot of added benefits in this aspect, in a relaxed environment while hitting some great bars for the beer/booze tour! Highly recommend!

Fun tour with an awesome guide - We had such a fun evening enjoying delicious drinks and exploring the city. Our guide, Mathias, was extremely knowledgeable and really personable. With such a small group, we all felt like we really did make a new friend, We were also able to connect with the other group members in such an intimate setting. Our guide even provided us with some suggestions for other things to explore in Iceland. What an amazing tour. I learned a lot and had so much fun. It was the highlight of our trip. Would definitely recommend.

Relaxed, Refreshing Tour! Highly Recommend - We had a wonderful walking tour with Kris. He truly deserved a full tour group (12 people) but my husband and I enjoyed a personal, private tour. Kris shared the very interesting and entertaining history behind the growth of beer in Iceland. We got to learn a great deal about day-to-day life in Iceland. And the flights we tasted were so good. Kris also provided small treats at several stops that enhanced the beers’ flavor. Would highly recommend!

Drinking, walking, laughing - It was a great time. Didn't know anyone at the start, by the end we were laughing so hard at each other's stories...there was snorting and tears! Our guide has lots of interesting trivia about Iceland which made the walk/drink even more entertaining.
