Cannot recommend this more!!! - What a delight it was to discover Icelandic traditional food in the company of our tour guide Silva. She was so kind and humourous. We leaned so much and had such a good time, walking around seeing the sights.

The food options were a great sampling of local cuisine. Highly recommend!!

Do this on your first couple days - Great way to familiarise yourself with the city and meet others. We visited 4 establishments (should have been 5 but the hot dog queue was too big) instead given vouchers to pick up a hot dog another day. Guide was informative, warm and welcoming. Food was great, although I could have happily larger portions…

Yum!!! - Tom was fantastic! We went many more places than expected and the food was fabulous. He catered to the slow pokes as well as the allergen crowd perfectly. It was the perfect length of a tour and the right amount of food; no pressure to eat anything that you didn’t want to. I’d definitely recommend this tour.

Islamic Treats - Food eclectic and tasty; guide personable and made the Food walk very much worth it! Meeting other foodies and learning about them and their travels and what drew them to Iceland under a casual experience made the outing worthwhile!
