Such fun
We had a wonderful time with our guide Paul. The tasting treats were delicious! We even stopped to feed the swans with our kids during our tour. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Nora! 🥰 We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful time with Páll. How special that you even got to feed the swans with your kids — such a sweet and memorable moment! 🦢✨ The tasting treats and little surprises along the way make the experience extra fun, especially for families. So happy to hear it was a 10 out of 10 experience — that means the world to us! 🙌 We look forward to welcoming you all again on another adventure soon! 🧭💙🐾 Warm regards, Steina Your Friend in Reykjavík & Team

Sweet Tour
This is the only tour of the 6 we have done that we don't recommend. We had already been to most of the establishments, we wouldn't call a small piece of dried haddock part of a sweet tour, there were more interesting items on the menus which were not part of the tasting, probably because the tour was trying to keep costs down, and it was not good value for money. We recommend just going to the cafes yourself without a tour.

What an eclectic trip!
Thor was really knowledgeable and made the tour interesting! We tried all sorts of sweets and go the history about the places we went and the food we ate, it was delightful!
Response from the operator: Dear Colleen, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your eclectic journey with Thor (Bjarni Þór) and loved experiencing Reykjavík's sweets and stories. Þór takes great pride in sharing the city's unique history and delicious treats, and we're thrilled it made your tour memorable and delightful! We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon. With gratitude and warm regards Steina Your Friend In Reykjavík & Team

The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $104 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 The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 38 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 The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour?
+
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 The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour?
+
Around 13 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour 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 The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour?
+
Included: Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour?
+
Outside Hlöllabátar, facing Ingólfstorg Square and the two tall stone pillars. Center Hotel Plaza is to your right. Benches, tables, and a covered ceiling make it a comfortable spot to wait. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is The Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
