Wow - there’s no better way to dine like a local but to be with a local!

Our guide, Ben, was that perfect local who gave my family and I a taste of Iceland that was packed with fun, laughter, and of course, food! We had such a wonderful time spending the evening meeting and dining with 8 other strangers who became more like old friends as we “restaurant-hopped” our way around town. Ben is equally personable as he is knowledgeable, and his humor kept us laughing throughout the entire evening!

The food selection was authentic and delicious. While the Arctic char was my personal favorite, tasting fermented shark alongside my fellow adventurous foodies was the most fun for sure. Thank you, Ben, for making this a highlight of our first visit to Iceland!

Can’t speak enough about this tour. Sign up for it if you’re in town and you’ll see for yourselves!!

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!

I am someone who generally loves food tours and this one did not disappoint! Our guide Thor was absolutely amazing and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. Fantastic food, you will be full for the rest of the day after the tour. My dad who hates the idea of food tours begrudgingly came with us on this tour. Afterwards he raved about it and said it was amazing! I have two kids approximately 10 years old, they both loved the tour!


April C

Finally got my dad to enjoy a food tour 

Dagurlar was a wonderful guide! He was both funny and informative. We enjoyed both the food and the information he provided. The food was so good we actually went back to two of the restaurants we visited. We take food tours quite often and we have NEVER gone back to two restaurants before! We highly recommend this tour and especially our charming guide!

rogers30199

Fun and YUM!

What can I say / this food tour is honestly one of the best I have ever been on! Our fabulous tour guide Dagur made the whole experience a strong 12/10. The restaurants that we went to was a perfect way to have a taste of all of the fabulous local cuisine Iceland has to offer (including fermented shark haha). Would definitely recommend booking in for this food tour / it is a lovely way to start or end your time in Reykjavik!


Emma Jay

BOOK ASAP!!!

What a great tour with an amazing guide, Ben. There is quite a bit of walking but we got a breather at each stop to taste some amazing food and drink. Ben was just great from start to finish, we were part of a small group, just the 4 of us and Ben but this made it even more enjoyable getting to know each other and share this amazing experience. All the food was lovely, we even did the fermented shark which was not as bad as expected so give it a go if you can. The tour lasted approx 3 hrs and was definitely worth the money due to the amount of food and some drink included, the rest we brought ourselves. A great tour with a great guide, well worth the money and definitely recommend.

CLASSIC WHALE WATCHING FROM REYKJAVÍK

Very efficient boat and crew, comfortable with a good seated cafe area if you wanted in out of wind! No humpback whales but did see a Minke Whale and dolphins jumping and spinning out of water!! Absolutely fabulous!! Guide narrating was very knowledgable re the whales and made it a worth while trip. Recommended.

Found whales & dolphins

We saw loads of whales and we were so lucky to see an humpback whale opening her mouth very closed to our boat!! Unforgettable! The kids are still talking about it and we are all still excited, Amazing!

Monicarossi78

Amazing experience!

Good and well organised trip with whale experience the 28th of September. We had the best weather and a good guide. The security on board was good and made us feel safe. One of our highlights on our Iceland trip.

If you've made your way all the way to Iceland - then I believe it's a MUST for you to experience the magical Northern Lights. 

But finding the Northern Lights can be tricky, which is why I recommend all travelers and friends on their way to Iceland to book this tour. Since you'll have a northern lights expert monitoring the forecast and will take you to the spot each particular night which has the highest chance of seeing the breathtaking Northern Lights in all their glory - a truly once in a lifetime experience. 


The Northern Lights are an incredible natural phenomenon and we definitely understand why this is on the top of the to-do list for so many of our guests.

Your tour guide will aim for the spots away from the city with the highest change of seeing the northern lights on that particular night.

On this northern lights tour, you will also enjoy hot coco and delicious Icelandic pastries!

Aurora is always a game of chance but our guide Arni may have made them come out by sheer willpower. He was super optimistic and kept going until we saw them, which was amazing. Just when everyone truly lost hope we got to see them. Arni made sure we all got enough time to see them, even if it made the trip go past its usual time window. This tour was awesome (the hot choc was also a great treat while we waited).

Awesome guide that made the trip a success

He was so passionate , knowledgeable, and enthusiastic telling all us all the amazing insights about Iceland and each location (#madonna). The whole day was so fun and was one of the highlights of my time in Iceland! He did a great job making our whole group feel included. I hope to do a tour again with this company soon. Ragnar thank you again ! You are amazing! :)
