Skip those fancy guidebooks and let a local feed you instead.
On this three-hour walk, you'll visit spots that tourists rarely find. Maybe a cute bakery with kleinur that smells and tastes like heaven or a traditional hot dog stand that fed the ex-president of the USA himself. And if you're feeling Viking, you might give fermented shark or boiled sheep a try; no pressure, though.
Between bites, your guide tells stories. About the food itself, about the people who make it, about why Icelanders eat what they eat, and about how food and the weather shaped this country.
This tour is all about enjoying, so it is adapted to any type of preference, allergy, or dietary restriction. From lactose intolerance to vegetarians and gluten-free diets, anyone is welcome and catered to. Come hungry, and you will certainly leave full...and a little smarter about Icelandic food.
Góða skemmtun – enjoy your meal!
