A Must in Reykjavík! - We did a food tour in Reykjavík with Einar and had such a wonderful experience! He is so passionate about his city, and has great knowledge of its history. His personal anecdotes made the tour and experience very special. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to experience Reykjavík the local way, and to try the best Icelandic cuisine! Every spot we visited was amazing!

Reykjavík Food Tour - Entertaining and informative tour hosted by Paul, a retired fisherman. Sampled various traditional Icelandic foods including lagoustine soup, lamb stew, smoked salmon and goose and chocolate covered licorice in downtown Reykjavík. Tour lasted about three hours and was very enjoyable.

A fabulous evening and a must do tour in Reykyavik - A fabulous evening with our lovely guide Einar on a food tour of Reykyavik. Great restaurants and food choices including traditional lamb soup, gravelax on rye bread, a hot dog from a stall and fish stew. Einar was very friendly and hospitable and shared a lot of information about Icelandic art and culture with suggestions about where to go and what to do in Reykyavik. It was a very enjoyable evening and Einar sent us some lovely photographs. Highly recommended.

Icelandic Food and Tales - an Adventure - This tour was so fun! Our guide, who told us to call him 'Bo' (or was it Beau?) for short, not only introduced my group to interesting and authentic Icelandic food traditions, he peppered the tour with the folklore and stories. Loved it!

Fun food experience - We had a great afternoon with Einar who kept us entertained and informed while we eat some delicious food and toured Reykjavík. Would recommend this tour and encourage everyone to try the fermented shark which is an experience! Come hungry as the portions at each stop are more than just tasters.
