Perfection - Two 8 years olds for this tour - AH - MA - ZING!! From the introduction to the Nordic Gods and the pillars in the Center Square - the guide captivated the kids imagination and eating experience. Hot chocolate, pastries, candy, ice cream, and yogurt...the American kids ate everything and asked a billion questions. He was patient, kind and so engaged. This is the 2nd sweet tour booked for kids (one in Paris) and I constantly recommend to everyone!

A fun way to sample local desserts and other sweet treat - would recommend! - We had a very good time on the Sweet Tooth Tour and would recommend it! Our guide, Arnar, was informative and noticeably held a conversation with every single member of our small group (6 people total). You could ask any questions about the sweets you were sampling, life in Iceland, or things to do in Reykjavik and beyond, and he was happy to share his insider knowledge and experience with you. We enjoyed many different sweet treats throughout the walk - truly a variety of Snúður, Kleinur, Chocolates, Licorice, Candies, Ice Cream, and a unique skyr cake. A LOT of sugar was involved in this tour but it was neat to sample some unique local foods. Beforehand, I thought I could guess the places they were likely to take you, and I don't think I was right about any of them. Our walk covered 4 destinations that I recall, which were within a very comfortable walking distance from each other - about 5-10 minutes of walking at a time. It's possible that some of the destinations may change slightly from tour to tour. Some of our stops felt a little bit rushed but that's also understandable - some of the destinations were busy and there were many destinations to cover in a relatively short time. Overall, it was a fun experience to do to celebrate a birthday in our group and we would do it again!

Something different (and sweet) to try! - Arnar was a wonderful host while we enjoyed a nice number of treats as we visited several sweet locations in Reykjavik. The ice cream was the most surprising as we enjoyed the rhubarb skyr and the rye bread (a yummy cake). If you are looking for something different to try, we recommend this tour.

Disappointing - Not worth the money. Guide didn’t engage with all of the group in a nice manner, only really spoke to one of the group. Wasn’t worth the money. One stop was to a Greek place (I didn’t come to Iceland to try a Greek dessert) and another stop was to a shop that does samples to the public and non paying tour attendants anyway (had been in the shop the day before already). The photos on the booking shows chocolate bars and licorish etc and we had none of that. For the price we paid nearly 100 euros we had a pastry, a Greek three balls covered in chocolate, one piece of dried fish, one piece of licorish, an ice cream and a yogurt Cheesecake tiny. The guide was also not the most friendly and spoke about one of the guests’ country in front of her as if she wasn’t even from there! Rude. Very disappointing, would not recommend
