Full description
Reykjavik has become one of the most vegan-friendly cities in Europe, and this private walk shows it off with no planning needed. Every stop is fully vegan, every dish is included, and a local guide sets the pace for your group.
You taste organic Icelandic barley from one of the country's few organic farms, potato-based cheese from Iceland's only plant-based cheesemaker and kimchi from a small Icelandic producer. A seated plate of rainbow carrots follows, then small Icelandic tastings, and a warm stew and dessert with a drink to finish.
Between stops, your guide tells the story behind the food: geothermal greenhouses that grow vegetables through the winter, and how a plant-based scene grew up in a country famous for lamb and fish. About 2 km of easy walking through downtown Reykjavik.

Reviews
My wife, adult daughter and I booked this tour with “Your Friend in Reykjavik” through Viator the during the afternoon we arrived in Iceland. Our tour guide, Cristin, was excellent. She met the group at the designated meeting location ahead of schedule. She was very friendly and informative about everything Reykjavik. Iceland is a fascinating place with so much history, and she did a great job of bringing it to life. We would definitely recommend this tour and guide to anyone new to the city.
Ester E was our guide today on our Iceland Women walking tour and the group LOVED her and the tour. We enjoyed hanging out for conversation after the walking portion as well. I would highly recommend doing a tour with Ester E!
The local food tour was amazing. We had a goupt of 9 of us and a few others along. Our guide Palli was very informative, helpful, attentive, and so much fun to have lead us through Reykjavik. A great was to kick off our vacation. The food stops were all great. Lots of fish and lamb and stews and sweets.
