Taste Icelandic lamb, seafood, desserts, and fermented shark on a three-hour Reykjavik food walk with a local English-speaking guide.

“This was a fabulous tour and would highly recommend. Although, Iceland is not known for being a foodie haven, we learned so much about the culture of the area and enjoyed everything (except the fermented shark!). Mírmir (aka millimeter) was the best guide we could have asked for and really made the tour exceptional! My personal favorite was the wasabi lamb and “happy marriage cake” and my husband enjoyed the fish tacos! Such an amazing experience, come hungry! Thanks Mírmir for an amazing experience!”

He also gave us useful tips on local culture and museums to visit the next day. We recommend Gardar as he customizes the discussions to his clients interests, and gives us a peak of local Icelandic living.”

Icelandic food was front and center at each stop. Nobody goes away hungry. All together we walked maybe 1.5 miles. This is a very easy tour so long as you have normal mobility.”
