Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland

Jennifer_H, May 2026

Perfect Tour

It was an amazing experience. We went on the food tour our first day in Iceland I highly recommend doing it your first couple of days here. Our guide Mimi was fantastic. He gave us recommendations on places to shop, local hotspots, different pools to go to. He was so down to earth iand gave us all kinds of cool information about the town. It was a food tour, but it also gave us so much information about the culture and Iceland. The restaurants were really cool and the food was delicious. We got to experience some of the things that you would want to check off your bucket list on a trip going to Iceland. I highly recommend going on this tour. My family and I were really glad that we did it. It was worth every penny. One thing to remember is to make sure you have the parking situation figured out before the tour. There are two apps to download for parking and you can park under the orchestra hall, but it is paid parking.

So fun and a great trip....

So fun and a great trip. We had luck seeing whales, dolphins and puffins! The boat was equipped with warm coveralls that were a must for being outside even in May. A nice touch is photos sent after the trip too in case you missed anything on your own.

Perfect Experience

This was a wonderful experience and very solo traveler friendly!

A great full day in Iceland! All of the stops were beautiful and we had the perfect amount of time in each. Multiple stops had options for food, and each meal/ snack was delicious! We definitely got our steps in, and then to end the day at the lagoon was so relaxing. Our tour guide was super friendly, engaged in a lot of conversations which made the tour feel even more fun. He also had a lot of fun facts and information to share as well as perfect dinner recommendations. 10/10 experience!

Very informative. Our guide was amazing! She was caring, well informed, and had a good sense of humor. She spoke throughout the tour - while also driving - about the history, language, geological features, and culture of Iceland. The bus ride was comfortable. Gullfoss waterfalls was my favorite — stunning and so worth it. We loved every bit of it. Doing this tour on the first day of our trip was a great idea as it helped us get oriented to the place and its people.

Highly recommended

The tour surpassed all expectations. We spent just the right amount of time at every destination and because we may such good time on the road, we even got a couple of short bonus stops. Helgi is a magnificent and very helpful guide and I hope you are lucky enough to have him leading your tour. Also, our bus was equipped with USB chargers for every seat, which was a wonderful surprise and very helpful for keeping my phone charged to take photos and videos of all the sights.

Sky Lagoon Entrance Ticket Including 7-Step Ritual

alykoch6, May 2026

Great experience

We did the 7 step ritual experience. You can do whichever steps you want. I skipped the sauna part because I don't care for saunas. For anyone that can't get out to the blue lagoon, this is a nice option. We actually did both and they were both great. You can swim up to the bar and look out over the water. It's a nice relaxing warm water experience. I would highly recommend it.

Lauren_K, Apr 2026

Love this excursion!

I loved this experience! The instructors were amazing and made us feel safe the whole experience. It was really cool to get to do this and I thought that it was well worth the money for the experience. Instructions were clear for meet up/throughout the excursion. Pro tip: wear thing base layers underneath clothes so the wetsuit can go over and you can stay warm. Pictures were taken by the instructor if you wanted some for extra cost but I was able to bring my Gopro and take some of my own! Would recommend!!
