Taste Reykjavik from shellfish soup to lamb hot dogs, with Icelandic food stories, market browsing, and a small-group downtown walk.

“Overall this tour was good. The fellow were friendly fun to be around! Our guide was kind and didn’t rush us around. The downside is that this excursion was scheduled around two citywide events that made navigating horrendous!! Our meeting Basecamp was moved at the last minute which pushed everything back almost an hour! We never made it to the flea market which was going to be the highlight of this excursion. The food was good but the world famous hotdog stand was a complete bust!! Nothing noteworthy about this hotdog! Give me Chicago style hot dog any day of the week!!”
