I had an amazing time on the Beer & Booze tour! The drinks were fantastic, but what really made it special was our guide, Stefán. He wasn’t just knowledgeable about Iceland’s beer and restaurants - he also shared a ton of fascinating history about the country along the way. His energy, humor, and storytelling made the whole experience both fun and memorable. If you’re visiting Iceland and want a tour that’s both educational and entertaining, I can’t recommend this one enough!

I did the craft beer tour with Chris on my very first day in Iceland, and it was such a fun way to start my trip. As a solo traveler, it helped me get my bearings in downtown Reykjavík while also getting a taste (literally) of the local beer and food scene. Chris was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us a great mix of history, culture, and recommendations. The atmosphere was relaxed and social — I even met a few people that I ended up seeing again later in my trip. If you like beer, want to explore some great local spots, or just want a quick, coordinated way to experience Reykjavík, I can’t recommend this enough. Perfect for solo travelers and groups alike.
Amanda_A, Aug 2025
Fun small group tour. The guide, Bo, was very knowledgeable and great beers to try with patron choice at one place as well.

We really enjoyed our beer tour with Bo. The company and beverages were great. Bo was very informative and entertaining!
Mary_C, Jan 2025
We had a great time on our beer tour with Svenbjorn, who showed us how to toast in Iceland and told us some interesting history of the country as well as of beer in Iceland and said if we wanted to sound like we were speaking Icelandic we could say (I think) "I forgot my yogurt." We enjoyed meeting the other people on the tour, who were from Louisiana and included a doctor and ATF agent.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Dear Mary_C,

We had the best guide who was knowledgeable about the area and the spots we went to! Highly recommend
Tracy_M, Sep 2024
I booked this event for my husband, not so much for me because I’m just not that into beer, however, I went also. Arnar, our beer guide was fantastic, even suggested a particular taste that I might enjoy, and I absolutely loved it! Arnar helped make our first day in Iceland spectacular. Thank you!
Karen_S, Aug 2024
This was a very enjoyable tour. Oli was a knowledgeable guide providing us with information about the beers we sampled. He included a lot of historical information about the places we visited. We had so much fun. This was a great way to end our incredible trip to Iceland.
Shiona_C, Aug 2024
We had a wonderful walking tour with Kris. He truly deserved a full tour group (12 people) but my husband and I enjoyed a personal, private tour. Kris shared the very interesting and entertaining history behind the growth of beer in Iceland. We got to learn a great deal about day-to-day life in Iceland. And the flights we tasted were so good. Kris also provided small treats at several stops that enhanced the beers’ flavor. Would highly recommend!
Ross_H, Jul 2024
Our guide Matthias was knowledgeable and passed on plenty of information about the craft beer culture in Reykjavik. We visited 3 bars and had a sufficient and diverse group of tasting.

Kate_M, Jun 2024
Really enjoyed this tour! The pina colada beer was the best! The tour guide was awesome too! He bright snacks to pair with beer and we enjoyed the history of alcohol in iceland. Would recommend this tour if you like beer!
Jennifer_R, May 2024
It was a great time. Didn't know anyone at the start, by the end we were laughing so hard at each other's stories...there was snorting and tears! Our guide has lots of interesting trivia about Iceland which made the walk/drink even more entertaining.
Robert_H, Apr 2024
Oli was an amazing guide and the beers were fantastic! A great time meeting interesting people from all over the world.
