A great food tour in Reykjavik

Fun tour with lots of tasty food. For summer, the day started off cold and rainy but gradually warmed up and got sunnier. The food was all really good and our guide Martienn was the perfect person to show us the best of Iceland/Reykjavik. Martienn is a native of Reykjavik so I felt he really knew what was going on. He had lots to say about the food and also about Iceland itself. We all got to try fermented shark with a shot of Brennivin if we wanted. The fish was great, as was the lamb stew, hot dog, lobster soup and everything else we had. It was worth the time and money to take this tour.

Excellent street food walking tour in Reykjavik

Martin (spelled incorrectly) is an exceptional host -- very personable and knowledgable about Icelandic specialties in Reykjavik. The venues he selected were all first rate. He was quick to engage and quick with a joke, too! His smile and natural charm certainly played into our very positive impression.

Absolutely great introduction to the food of Iceland, and a nice walking tour to boot. Thor was a great guide, friendly and informative. You'll get a lot to eat so come hungry.
