Overview

This four-hour walk from Nordic Nonsense mixes Icelandic food and drink with the history of Reykjavik. Groups meet at Hallgrímstorg, in front of the church and behind the statue, then move between restaurants, bars and food stands across the city centre. Along the way there are food tastings, multiple beer tastings, a cocktail, plus coffee or tea and water. The tour ends at Jungle Cocktail Bar on Austurstræti, at the last restaurant the group visits.

Reviewers describe a varied route. Two sit-down meals come with beer, wine or soda, and the stops in between have included a popular hot dog stand, a patty shop, baked goods and, for the brave, fermented shark. Several travellers mentioned the local beers, and a cocktail rounds things off at the final stop. The listing includes coffee, tea and water alongside the alcoholic drinks.

Guides share history between stops, and reviewers often mention learning about Reykjavik and Iceland as they walked. It suits travellers who want an introduction to both the food scene and the city, and who arrive hungry, since many said there was plenty to eat and drink. Groups run to a maximum of 15 travellers.

What To Expect From The Tour

Here is what past travellers and the listing say to expect before booking.

Come hungry. Reviewer after reviewer says the same thing: arrive with an appetite. There are two sit-down meals plus snacks in between, and several travellers said there was plenty to eat and drink.
Pace and standing. Expect a walking tour with plenty of time on your feet. One reviewer found the history stops tiring after hours of standing, so comfortable shoes matter if you plan to join.
Guides and history. Reviewers describe the guides as knowledgeable locals who answer questions and share history between stops. Many travellers said the commentary added to the food and made the tour a good introduction to the city.
Adventurous food. Traditional Icelandic dishes appear alongside modern ones, and fermented shark comes up in several reviews as a challenge. Baked goods and the local beers get warm mentions.
Group size. The tour runs with a maximum of 15 travellers. Reviewers describe a friendly, social atmosphere, with one saying the guide made it feel like an evening out with a group of friends.
Weather and mobility. The tour requires good weather and is not wheelchair accessible, though pushchairs are allowed. The meeting point is near public transport, and the tour runs in the local time zone, so dress for whatever the Icelandic day brings.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and one reviewer found the amount of standing and history commentary heavy on their back and feet, with the hot dog stop singled out as a letdown and slow. Tours need a minimum number of travellers and good weather to run; if either is missing, you are offered a different date, a different experience or a full refund. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time are not refunded.
