Overview

This three-hour walk pairs eating with sightseeing. You meet inside the Old Harbour House restaurant at Ægisgarður 2, next to the old harbour, then move between tasting stops on foot while the guide points out city landmarks and fills in Icelandic history along the way. The tour finishes at Hallgrímskirkja church, with ice cream for dessert from Café Loki as the closing stop.

The food side is generous. Meals are included in the price, and several reviewers said there was more to eat than they expected, with one advising people to arrive hungry. Tastings cover a wide range of traditional Icelandic dishes, and at least one reviewer mentioned trying shark along the way. Between bites, reviewers described learning about Icelandic traditions, folk stories and history from their guide.

The group is capped at 10 travellers, which keeps things conversational. Reviewers described the pace as casual and not rushed. It suits anyone who wants a walking introduction to both Reykjavík and its food culture, though travellers with back problems and pregnant travellers are advised against it, and the route is not wheelchair accessible. Pushchairs are fine and the start point sits near public transport.
