A great way to start a visit to Iceland!
The Reykjavik Food Walk was terrific. Katrin was wonderful as our guide, with her knowledge and interest in people shining through. She managed to keep us on schedule, explained each restaurant, put the food into its cultural context, and, more broadly, introduced us to Iceland as a nation and as a people. Katrin’s cordial and relaxed demeanor conveyed her enthusiasm for her role as well as the tourism industry more broadly. I would highly recommend this tour as a great way to begin one’s time in Iceland. To my surprise, I even sampled the fermented shark. It wasn’t so bad and was helped along by the Icelandic distilled spirit that accompanied our tasting. But there was no pressure on anyone to give the shark a try. It was available for the curious and adventurous members of the tour as they wished.
Traditional Icelandic Food - tasty and go on an empty stomach!
The tour was fun and had so much food! More food than expected. It was tasty local food and the highlights for a few of us in the group were unexpected like the fish stew. The rye bread ice cream was also fantastic. Be hungry when you go! Our guide (Farra I think ? I couldn’t confirm her name on their website or through reviews) was absolutely lovely. She was funny, nice, attentive, just a wonderful local guide.
This is a great way to...
This is a great way to introduce icelandic local food culture. I did this after the flight landed in early AM since check-in was at 4pm*. The 5+ places are very delicious filling. Thanks THOR for showing my partner and I a good time. Till next time.
A truly wonderful experience
Katrin was a great host and looked after our group so well. The food was amazing. I particularly enjoyed the blue ling, but the hotdog was equally delicious. The group was also a really great mix of lovely people and we chatted, ate and drank.
Awesome
Our guide Haddi was absolutely fantastic and made the whole tour even more special. The food was great and it was nice to learn more from a local and explore altogether. Highly recommended.
