About this experience
This immersive experience offers a delightful exploration of Iceland's beloved holiday cuisine and beverages under the direction of passionate local guides. Traverse the enchanting streets adorned with twinkling lights as you indulge in succulent smoked lamb, renowned for its robust flavors, alongside the sweet buttery laufabrauð (leaf bread), intricately patterned and fried to crispy perfection. Delve deeper into the culinary delights with samples of special glazed Hamborgarhrygg, iconic reindeer paté, flavorful gravlax, and tangy pickled herring, each dish showcasing the diverse and cherished traditions celebrated during Christmas in Reykjavik. Sip on festive Christmas drinks like Jólaöl, a traditional Icelandic Christmas ale; malt & appelsín, a beloved non-alcoholic Christmas beverage; and Jólaglögg mulled wine, adding a warm and aromatic touch to the holiday experience. We can substitute the Jólaglögg for hot cocoa if you want.

Our tour guide Paul was fabulous. Friendly and really informative about the city and country. He answered everything we wanted to know and more. Guests should ask lots of questions and be open to trying the food. You get little bits of a lot, including pastries and appetizers.

Asking questions and being open to trying new foods is exactly what makes the experience special, and we’re glad you got to sample a little bit of everything, from pastries to appetizers 🍰🥗. We would love to welcome you back for another adventure soon, there’s always more to discover! 🌍✨ With gratitude and warm regards Steina Your Friend In Reykjavík & Team

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3-Hour Shared Christmas Food Tour with Guide in Reykjavik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does 3-Hour Shared Christmas Food Tour with Guide in Reykjavik cost?
+
Prices start at $91 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3-Hour Shared Christmas Food Tour with Guide in Reykjavik take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is 3-Hour Shared Christmas Food Tour with Guide in Reykjavik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Hour Shared Christmas Food Tour with Guide in Reykjavik?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3-Hour Shared Christmas Food Tour with Guide in Reykjavik suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-Hour Shared Christmas Food Tour with Guide in Reykjavik?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Hour Shared Christmas Food Tour with Guide in Reykjavik start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
