This is a great way to enjoy a taste of Icelandic food. - Helga did a great job narrating and leading the private tour. In addition to walking throughout the center of Reykjavík, we stopped in four different eating establishments for a taste of the area. Icelandic food was front and center at each stop. Nobody goes away hungry. All together we walked maybe 1.5 miles. This is a very easy tour so long as you have normal mobility.

Tasty and delightful! - This tour is great! Not only did we learn history we stopped and sampled tastes of the region. I wimped out on the fermented shark but tried all the other samples. Loved hearing about Margaret’s favorites and her memories of growing up in Iceland. My favorite stop, after walking in a cold rain, was the coffee shop and a warm latte. Delightful! Great tour!

Iceland Food Experience - Fun and informative food tour and city walk in Reykjavik in small friendly group with local guide.. Tour involved a lot of local food so don't overdo breakfast beforehand. Would definitely recommend when visiting Reykjavik.
