Wow! Food & fun, loved the tour!

What a great intro to the walkable city of Reykjavik. Marteinn welcomed us at the Old Harbour House where we started the afternoon with an Icelandic hotdog & lobster soup. Onto pastries and so much more. We learned about culture and history through out. It was a fun and laid back tour where we felt welcomed at all of our stops. Ending at Café Loki with delicious rye bread ice cream. Thanks CityWalk!

Great introduction to Reykjavik

A perfect way to begin our Iceland vacation. Nori was full of stories and information and good humor. The food was fabulous, more than we could eat. An easy walking experience, never rushed, never boring. Highly recommend.

Great food tour

This was a great experience that we felt was worth the money. We tried a range of traditional foods in a variety of outlets around the city. Things we would not normally have tried. Martin, our guide, was very good. He was knowledgeable about the city, its history and architecture as well as the food. The small group had a very good vibe and we enjoyed meeting our fellow diners.
