    A delicious taste of Iceland

    We absolutely loved our Reykjavík food tour! 🇮🇸🍽️ Diana was an amazing guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable not only about Icelandic food, but also the history, culture, and traditions behind it. And the food… there was SO much of it! Every stop was delicious, and we definitely did not leave hungry. It was the perfect combination of great food, fascinating Icelandic history, and lots of fun along the way. Diana made the experience even better with her knowledge and enthusiasm. If you’re visiting Reykjavík, this food tour is definitely worth doing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Response from the operator: Thank you for making Secret Food Tours part of your itinerary! We appreciate the time you took to explore with us and share your thoughts afterward. Your support means a great deal to our team.

    Great Tour

    I had a wonderful trip with our guide, Irina, and a small group of travellers from all over the world. Irina shared fascinating insights into traditional Icelandic food along with interesting pieces of Icelandic history. The dishes we tried were delicious and nicely varied, with portion sizes perfect for tasting everything without feeling overly full. Overall, a really enjoyable and well-balanced experience.

    Response from the operator: We enjoyed sharing the city with you through its food. Your enthusiasm made each stop even more enjoyable, and we’re glad the day came together so well. Thanks for joining Secret Food Tours!

    Reykjavik Small-Group Food Tour: 5 Specialties and a Secret Dish: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Reykjavik Small-Group Food Tour: 5 Specialties and a Secret Dish 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 Small-Group Food Tour: 5 Specialties and a Secret Dish 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 Small-Group Food Tour: 5 Specialties and a Secret Dish worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 34 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 Small-Group Food Tour: 5 Specialties and a Secret Dish?

    +

    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 Small-Group Food Tour: 5 Specialties and a Secret Dish 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 Small-Group Food Tour: 5 Specialties and a Secret Dish?

    +

    Around 12 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 Small-Group Food Tour: 5 Specialties and a Secret Dish 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, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. 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 Small-Group Food Tour: 5 Specialties and a Secret Dish?

    +

    Included: Our delicious secret dish!; Icelandic Marriage Cake; Local Jams, Chocolates & Treats; Icelandic Hot Dog; and Traditional Seafood Soup. Not included: Gratuities; and Pick-up and Drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    n We will meet at the Leif Eriksson Monument at Skólavörðustígur 45, 101 Reykjavík outside the Hallgrímskirkja church Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Reykjavik Small-Group Food Tour: 5 Specialties and a Secret Dish offered in?

    +

    Is Reykjavik Small-Group Food Tour: 5 Specialties and a Secret Dish wheelchair or stroller accessible?
