Perfect Intro to Icelandic Food and Culture - This was amazing and just what we needed to discover all the tastes of Iceland! Our guide, Esther (please forgive the spelling) was absolutely patient, fun, and so knowledgeable. She taught us about food, culture, and Reykjavik, including the proper pronunciation. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Amazing way to start your trip - We took the food tour with Esther H and it was amazing. Along with tastes of the wonderful food we enjoyed asking questions, hearing stories and getting her recommendations. I would encourage everyone to do this tour at the beginning of your trip. It will set you up to eat great the entire time you’re here.

Food of Reykjavik - Excellent tour guide and interesting food, bring your appetite. Although the guide provided lots of fun facts about the city as we walked from location to location, don't expect a city tour. It is a food tour.

Taste of Iceland - Had the pleasure of going on this tour with our guide Anna. We had a great time. Anna have an overview of what to expect before we left. We stopped at 5 different spots and were able to experience a wide range of food. Some of the offerings were smoked lamb tartare on sourdough bread, lamb stew, hot dog with all the fixings, Icelandic candy, cod and fermented shark. Highly recommend if you are looking to get a taste of Iceland.
