Start this tour with a big appetite, because it’s a treat for all your senses! Our guide, Stefan, was an absolute wealth of knowledge, sharing fascinating historical tidbits about Iceland and the city. But what made the tour even more memorable were the personal stories he shared—like the sweet memory of his grandma’s homemade waffles, which we got to try similar waffles at one of our stops. It really added a special touch to the experience. Stefan also went the extra mile by introducing us to the "happy marriage cake" and even took the time to show us and haveus feed the swans and ducks that the locals feed. It was such a thoughtful and sweet moment for my husband and me. Throughout the tour, we indulged in a variety of amazing local treats: baked goods made with cardamom and cinnamon from a century-old bakery, crispy fried snacks covered in chocolate from a Greek vendor (not expected but a pleasant surprise), and tastings of everything from locally made candy and jams to hot sauce and childhood fish snacks. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, we ended with a scoop of absolutely delicious ice cream. A must-try? The Rye Bread ice cream —it’s like eating a soft, flavorful cookie bits in ice cream form. The Rhubarb Skyr ice cream was also delightful for those who want a safer option :) So, so good! We highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves food, history, and a little personal touch along the way!
