Thoughtful food experience was a hit! - Angar (forgive me if I’ve misspelled your name) was a fabulous and most knowledgeable tour guide for our food tasting experience here in Reykjavík Iceland. His lifelong experience of living in Iceland, as well as being able to share a family history and facts about the country made our food tasting experience all the better! He is sincerely, a nice person, and it was wonderful to be able to sit down and enjoy an evening of good food with a very nice individual who is very attentive to everyone’s needs. Thank you for a great time!

Great tour and tour guide! - Our food tour was a lot of fun. You get to try different Icelandic dishes (seafood stews with sourdough bread, Icelandic appetizers, Icelandic sweets, even fermented shark!) and get a good history lesson on the country as well. The portions are generous and you will definitely be full after this tour. We ended the tour with a drink (non-alcoholic versions available too) at a local pub. Einar was a wonderful guide. He's friendly, very knowledgeable, and accommodating. I recommend this tour. If you go, do take his advice when eating the fermented shark, you will be glad you did!

Outstanding Food Tour! - What a tour! Einar was an outstanding guide, giving us the background on the food we ate, as well as the neighborhoods we traversed. We definitely tried food that we otherwise wouldn’t have, and that is what makes these tours special. Thank you Einar, and rock on!

Our guide, Gardar, was... - Our guide, Gardar, was knowledgeable, personable, and showed us a taste of local food, that we would not have otherwise sampled. Our favorites were the smoked lamb tartar and the crowberry jam! He also gave us useful tips on local culture and museums to visit the next day. We recommend Gardar as he customizes the discussions to his clients interests, and gives us a peak of local Icelandic living.

Unprofessional Guide, Poor English, No Engagement, and Inappropriate Political Propaganda - We booked a private Reykjavik food tour with guide Christina and had a deeply upsetting experience. Not only was her English poor and engagement with the children non-existent, but she also loudly voiced extreme political views. Wearing propaganda symbols and making openly antisemitic statements during what should have been a fun family experience left us feeling unsafe on our trip with children. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable.

Unprofessional Guide, Poor English, No Engagement, and Inappropriate Political Propaganda - Our private food tour was deeply disappointing. The guide’s English was poor, she made no effort to engage the children, and showed little knowledge or professionalism. Most concerning, she openly displayed and voiced extreme political propaganda, which was offensive and entirely inappropriate in a tour setting. This was not what we expected or paid for.
