Taste Reykjavik’s Christmas classics on a 3-hour tour with smoked lamb, leaf bread, reindeer pâté, festive drinks, and a store visit.

“Paul did an excellent job guiding our group around the city. He was very welcoming and and even took pictures of the group with all the Christmas decor around town (his idea!). The food was delicious.. smoked salmon and smoked reindeer were my favs. If you’re looking for an activity with great value and an entertaining guide don’t hesitate, book this one today! I’m tempted to do it again 🤣”
