Food tour - Decided to take this tour to better understand the culture of Iceland. I knew I wouldn't like everything but wanted to try.
So glad I did!!
We had the Best guide, Day, who went out of his way to inform us.
Would definitely recommend this tour.

Wonderful - Had such a wonderful experience with Burger! Very knowledgeable and friendly. I would take all of my food tours with Burger. At each stop he explained what we were eating and how it relates to Reykjavik old and new.

Stevie is the best! - Our guide, Stevie, went above and beyond. We learned all about the city, the culture, the history and the must see sites in addition to the wonderful food. We laughed a lot. He followed up with an email with all of his favorite local places to visit.

Enjoyable and tasty food tour. - Trying the different food. The tour is a good length of time. I would have liked to try a few more traditional Icelandic foods such as horse, reindeer, puffin etc.

Food Walk was great fun. - Our guide, Snowy was energetic and enthusiastic in guiding us through Reykjavík on our first day in Iceland. Local foods were sometimes a bit foreign (fermented shark, lamb soup, lamb hot dog, etc) but he made the trip interesting and fun. Definitely recommend this especially as your first trip after landing in Iceland.

Food Fun - This was a great tour. The food you tried was elevated, fun and delicious. You were able to sample a range whilst learning from our guide Stevie, about not only what you were eating but also the culture and life in Iceland. Stevie was great as he answered all our questions and despite the rain and wind he entertained us as we walked. Loved every minute of it! Definitely recommend as a must do tour.

Missed the tour - So sorry that we missed the tour. Went to the wrong pickup spot. I am sure it would have been fabulous. My score is not based on experience but on the fact that we missed the tour.
