Food and Flea Market Tour - This was a fabulous tour. Ester was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable and friendly and my family of four (with two youngish 20-something) really enjoyed trying unique Icelandic dishes and hearing the stories behind them as well as learning about Icelandic history and culture. Pro tip: don’t eat lunch first! I tried to warn my husband but he had to learn the hard way. 😅

Easy and fun tour - Magnus was such a good guide. He walked at a comfortable pace, there was no rushing, and he was very knowledgeable. This was a perfect day 1 activity, especially if you fly in early and need something to fill the day before checking into a hotel.

Wrong Tour, But Oh So Good! - First thing was our tour guide was fantastic. Second thing - we were not booked on this tour! Somehow we were booked onto a food tour but not this one as advertised with stop at Flea Market. Disappointed as I had selected the tour carefully based on food stops that this picky eater could manage and a visit to see what the flea market was like. That said, we lucked out as our guide was so warm and knowledgeable he made the tour come alive. Mid-tour when we discovered the error, he pivoted and took us to the flea market just to see what it was all about. With the exception of not getting to try the ryebread ice cream from the original tour, his version was interesting and delicious! The lamb hot dogs and lobster soup are highlights to be sure. Would definitely tour with him again!

Food tour in Reykjavik during culture day - Good food tour, just happened to be during cultural day which made it busier at the stops and we had to get around marathon to make it to meeting point. Tried numerous foods with some history

Crazy Day! - Overall this tour was good. The fellow were friendly fun to be around! Our guide was kind and didn’t rush us around. The downside is that this excursion was scheduled around two citywide events that made navigating horrendous!! Our meeting Basecamp was moved at the last minute which pushed everything back almost an hour! We never made it to the flea market which was going to be the highlight of this excursion. The food was good but the world famous hotdog stand was a complete bust!! Nothing noteworthy about this hotdog! Give me Chicago style hot dog any day of the week!!
