Well worth it.
Jenny was interesting and knowledgeable about her country, and the tour took us to several amazing restaurants we might have missed otherwise. We felt well taken care of, and it was a helpful, interesting adventure. Thank you!

Great end to our time in Iceland!
Thor was an excellent guide and we especially appreciated his patience in waiting for us a bit as we drove in from Vik that morning. The tour itself was great, the food varied and delicious, and we met some interesting people on the tour, as well. Very well worth the money and the staff know a lot about Reykjavik, Iceland, its history and its current goings on.

A great way to spend a few hours with an excellent tour guide
We had a wonderful tour with Bonnie, who was charismatic and knowledgeable. Some wonderful dishes sampled and discussed, with conversation free-flowing and plenty of laughter. A great way to spend a few hours in the hands of a very welcoming and comprehensive guide.

Worth every minute!
Takk Takk to Mimir who made my introduction to Icelandic food a singularly enjoyable experience. From start to finish, it was a surprisingly lovely culinary journey. The chosen venues and dishes—plus the history and context provided by Mimir—left me well fed and well informed. The food portions were perfect. By the end of the 3 PM to 6 PM tour, I had no need for dinner.

Can’t recommend this tour enough!
We had an incredible time and I highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Reykjavík. It was about an 3 hour tour in a group of about 15 people and we sampled food from 5 different restaurants. Each restaurant was unique and the variety/quality of each dish we tried was top notch. Our tour guide Jenny was also phenomenal! She was so informative and funny and had some wonderful recommendations for where else we should visit and eat while in town. This tour is worth every penny. We did it on our third day in the city but I recommend doing it on your first day.

Why this scores 97
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland cost?
+
Prices start at $146 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 Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland 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 Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 97 out of 100, which we label "Peak Performance". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21,387 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland?
+
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 Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland 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 Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland?
+
Around 7,485 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 Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland 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 Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Silfra: Snorkeling Between Tectonic Plates - Meet on Location. 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.
What is included in Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland?
+

+
