A really wonderful walk with lots of fascinating folklore! Einar was a brilliant guide and imbued each tale with a sense of mystery and fun - even when other tour members weren't too respectful. What a lovely time, thank you!

Fantastic way to spend a few hours, and we didn't need any tea that evening. The guide was interesting and knowledgable, and spoke excellent English.

Great way to learn about not just the food, but also the history and the culture behind the food. Would definitely recommend!

Interesting
If you're re looking to explore the city beyond the surface level, this tour is recommended. Reykjavík has amazing culture and history and our guide, Einar's story telling skills really brought the city to life. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The pace of the tour was comfortable. We stopped for coffee and a bathroom break.

Hrafn was an excellent guide. We had fun hearing about the ancient history as well as the current happenings in Iceland. This pleasant walk was ideal to set up Iceland on our first evening.

Great tour
My husband and I make it a point to try food tours in new cities on our first day of a trip to get a feel for places we will want to go. Stefen was amazing and took us on a great informative tour. The food was amazing. The only complaint I have is 2 days after the tour we went back to the Kock to get some of the amazing salmon we had on our experience and they do not sell it. To say I was bummed was not the right word. However that is not the tour company or Stefen. They were amazing...showed up on time...kept a great pace for everyone....and even showed us something great at the every end of the tour. We went into a small shop the next day and stefen was there with another group and even remembered us. Thank you. We will be sure to use the company again when we surely come back. Thank you!!!!

Not many folklore stories - didn't even name the "13 Santas"
The guide had an excellent actor's voice which really animated the characters in the stories he told. The graveyard and the troll's stone he brought us to were excellent settings. I took off 2 stars because he spent more time joking about the "sibling rivalry" Iceland has with the rest of the Nordic countries and laughing about newscasters trying to pronounce Icelandic names than he did telling the folklore stories I came to hear. His story about a graveyard was told on a city street instead of in the graveyard we later visited. It would have been more effective to go immediately to the troll's stone and give a detailed folklore story there instead of stopping a few other places along the way (in front of modern buildings), and then just talking about a modern troll's stone that required a great deal of effort to remove. When he talked about the Yule Lads (the "13 Santas" promised in the listing), he only named a couple of them and didn't explain what each one is known for. I learned more about them on the CityWalk Reykjavik tour. Iceland has a tremendously rich tradition of stories and sagas. You'd never know that from this tour.

Get your bearings in Reykjavik
This was a really helpful couple of hours on our first day. Our guide Stefan was good fun and made us feel at home in the city. There are so many interesting facts to learn, it's a no brainer. Well worth the money.
