A Perfect Taste of Icelandic Culture! - My partner and I had an amazing experience on this food tour! Magnus was incredibly informative, polite, and welcoming to everyone in the group. He answered all our questions and provided fascinating historical insights while also explaining each dish in detail. The food was absolutely delicious, and by the end, we were both completely stuffed! If you’re looking for a great way to experience Icelandic culture through its cuisine, I highly recommend this tour.

Worth it - Great food tour! I try to do a food tour in every city I visit as a part of understanding the culture. It’s especially helpful somewhere like Iceland where the food can be very different from what I’m used to. I never expect to have a full stomach after a food tour since it’s a sampling, but I was STUFFED! I can be a slightly picky eater but I always try to try the food at least once on these tours and I ate every bite. I did not like the shark but I understand it’s a must for a lot of tourists and the story of resilience behind it made it worth a try lol. Our tour guide was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable, interactive, funny, and a great story teller. It may seem a little expensive but the food prices here were astronomical, so I feel like it was a good deal.

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!!!!

I feel bad giving this... - I feel bad giving this review, but it was honestly probably one of the worst food tours I’ve ever done. It was way more expensive for what we really got. If I were you, I would definitely not spend this kind of money for this tour.
