Taste Iceland in central Reykjavik on a 3.5-hour evening food and drink tour with local guides, 5 stops, and tastings.
“It was an amazing experience to get to know Reykjavik‘s food scene and at the same time, see some city highlights and share the experiences in the small group. Our guide Steve was very funny, very informative and knowledgeable and has shared many interesting Island facts with the group. We definitely recommend him, if you are interested in Food Tour. He also shared with us information on many good locations to eat and drink in Reykjavik. The food was delicious and it covered typical Island dishes, the various beers were very tastefull. It was sufficient food and drinks, so come hungry and enjoy!”

Suiting up was downright hysterical. And drifting along during the slow sunset was incredibly special. We were all one group of friends and family and this experience was a real highlight of our trip.”
Every kind of Icelandic day out, and the best of each.
