    Great food. Not so great tour guide.

    This tour was good. Small portions at about five different places the tour took three hours with walking in between each place. Loved the variety the food and the walking. The lamb soup was my favorite. The last stop included a stew, a drink, and dessert! Unfortunately our tour guide was not good. There were only four of us on the tour and most of the time, only one of us could hear him. He had many stories about his own life, but did not tell us much about the town or even the food we were about to eat. This would have been a five star tour had we had a better tour guide

    Such a fun food tour in...

    Such a fun food tour in Reykjavik! We had a nice group and Gardar was a wonderful guide - friendly, knowledgeable and great about accommodating dietary restrictions. Delicious (and interesting!) food and an enjoyable way to experience the city.

    Reykjavík Food Tour

    Had a wonderful food tour of Reykjavik with our guide Einar. Tried several traditional Icelandic food like the hot dog, lamb soup and chocolate licorice. Would definitely recommend when visiting Reykjavik!

    Thank you Maria G!

    We loved our food tour with Maria G! She was an excellent guide, with a depth of knowledge about history and the local food. She was friendly, had a good sense of humor and kept us interested and engaged throughout the tour. We had just arrived in Iceland after a long travel day and thought this would be a good start to our Iceland experience. I would recommend this tour and Maria G in particular to anyone that wants to explore some of the traditional foods. We even tried the fermented shark, and we all thought it wasn’t as bad as we had heard, especially with the Brennivin.

    Reykjavik Food Lovers Tour - Icelandic Traditional Food: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Reykjavik Food Lovers Tour - Icelandic Traditional Food cost?

    +

    Prices start at $149 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 Reykjavik Food Lovers Tour - Icelandic Traditional Food 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 Reykjavik Food Lovers Tour - Icelandic Traditional Food worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,123 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Reykjavik Food Lovers Tour - Icelandic Traditional Food?

    +

    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 Reykjavik Food Lovers Tour - Icelandic Traditional Food 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 Reykjavik Food Lovers Tour - Icelandic Traditional Food?

    +

    Around 393 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 Reykjavik Food Lovers Tour - Icelandic Traditional Food 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.
