About this tour

This is Iceland through its food. From a hot dog stand that has been feeding Reykjavik since 1937 to the street kitchen doing wild goose on sourdough, each stop comes with the history, the culture, and the people behind it. Our guides don't just tell you what you're eating — they tell you why it matters.

Guests consistently call it the best thing they did in Iceland. Come on your first day. You'll spend the rest of the trip thinking about it.
