About the private Reykjavík food tour

This is a private version of Reykjavík's classic food walk: you get your own guide rather than joining a group, so the pace and the conversation are yours. Over about three hours you walk through downtown Reykjavík, stopping at cafes, shops and restaurants to taste more than ten different traditional foods, from smoked salmon on rye bread to fried fish and Icelandic hot dogs.

Because it's private, your guide can adjust the pace for families with young children, older travellers, or anyone with dietary needs; most restrictions can be worked around with notice given at booking. Walking is easy and flat, all within the compact downtown area, and the tour is stroller-friendly.

Reykjavík's weather can turn quickly, so bring a layer even in summer. Being a food tour, it runs comfortably in winter too, since most of the time is spent tasting indoors between short walks outside.
