3-hour Reykjavik food walk with 8+ tastings across 4–6 spots, Harpa and Hallgrímskirkja sights, small-group local guide.

“Takes a broad stroke approach to Icelandic cuisine- we tried baked goods, fish dishes, famous hot dog, fermented fish ( not bad, worth trying), lamb stew and finally the rye bread ice cream- all in amazing restaurants with classic ambiance. Leni was a great guide who answered all our questions and lead us to try new things with a good touch of humor. He included all of us in the conversation about Iceland and was very friendly.”

“Ryan was an incredible guide. He is American but has lived in Iceland for 10 years and is deeply integrated I always seek out the historical and cultural aspects of a destination and Ryan with his academic background ( local university lecturer) was perfect for this. He effortlessly and humorously brought us from the early settlements up to date. He was punctual, kind and self-deprecating but always in control of his facts. The whole experience transformed my understanding of Iceland and its culture.”
