Funky Food & Beer Walk of Reykjavik – Traditional food and history

About this experience

This tour is a unique blend of a guided history tour through Reykjavík with an introduction into traditional local cuisine and locally brewed craft beers. We make 5 foodie stops to taste at least 8 local Icelandic dishes and 4 locally brewed craft beers.

Among the funky delicacies you will get to try are the fermented shark, the dried fish, the heart-warming lamb soup, the famous hot dog and more. You will learn about what kind of foods have been the staple of Icelandic cuisine, how Icelanders have preserved foods through the ages, and learn about some food-related traditions. Food lovers unite and kill three birds with one stone: Join us on a guided Reykjavik walking tour, taste some of the most traditional Icelandic foods, and taste some of the funkiest craft beers!

This is a small group experience, with no more than 8 people per tour, because we want you to be able to shoot at us any and all questions you might possibly have and truly connect with you.
