Delightful Taste of Iceland

Nicole_P, Jan 2026

Our tour guide Paul was fabulous. Friendly and really informative about the city and country. He answered everything we wanted to know and more. Guests should ask lots of questions and be open to trying the food. You get little bits of a lot, including pastries and appetizers.

We would love to welcome you back for another adventure soon, there’s always more to discover! 🌍✨ With gratitude and warm regards Steina Your Friend In Reykjavík & Team
