About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- DaynaM1430 contributionsMust do this Food Tour with Stevie!Stevie was absolutely the best food tour guide with his knowledge of the Icelandic culture, history, food and folklore. This tour was very informative, at times funny and I would 100 percent do that tour again! It is a must with Stevie!Written March 20, 2025
- M2263YPashleym0 contributionsKick off your trip on a Good-KneeWe attended the Beer Day Beer Crawl and have nothing but wonderful things to say about this experience. Gudny (good-knee) was our guide and she made everyone feel comfortable, she was hilarious and very knowledgeable (about beer especially). After 3 hours our group felt like a little family...I think we hugged every person goodbye. If you're looking for a fun way to explore the city, while meeting other beer minded individuals, we highly recommend. Thank you Gudny for helping us kick off our Iceland 2025 trip in the best way possible! *Also, we watched many Wake Up Reykjavik videos before coming to Iceland and when we returned home to Canada and showed our 5 year old photos he said OHHH that's the girl from YouTube...so you're an international superstar Gudny :)Written March 12, 2025
- Cosmopolitan6649150 contributionsReykjavík Beer Day CrawlSuch an amazing Beer Crawl, Gudney is a legend! I would strongly recommend this to anyone, it was such a laugh and a great way to meet fellow travellers and Gudney, and experience Reykjavik’s National Beer Day! I booked all of my tours through Wake Up Reykjavik and every experience was perfect - I’ll be using them again when I visit in a couple months. I look forward to next years beer crawl, I’ll be back 🍻Written March 10, 2025

- Nikki72800 contributionsAbsolutely the first tour you should take when you arrive in Iceland!Had so much fun on our food tour with Dave! It was recommended that we take this tour on arrival day and I was a little hesitant because I figured we would be super jet lagged but super glad we did. We immediately got so much culture, history and most importantly - super yummy food! If you’re a light drinker or some in your group drink and some don’t I highly recommend taking the food tour you can easily add drinks at every stop (most of our group did) then you only pay for what you want to try and where. We loved this tour, Dave was super fun to hang with and loved by all wherever we went and he made sure we left happy and full! He also followed up after with an email full of his recommendations and details on everything we ate and where which helped later when we wanted “that awesome cheese potato fish dish” and needed to look up the name! 😉Written January 24, 2025

We really enjoyed our Food Walk and were glad that we booked to do it on our first full day as it was a good way to get our bearings in the city.
We were in a group of 12 people and the tour lasted 2.5 hours. We went to 6-7 different places and left the tour feeling quite full so we definitely felt like we got our money's worth. In most places, my wife and I bought a drink at an extra cost. We went to a variety of different places (ie the original hot dog stand to a traditional Icelandic restaurant).
*Spoiler Alert*
I was really glad that I got to try fermented shark as it was on my bucket list. I recommend you try it as it definitely smells worse than it tastes - just don't chew it more than 8 times (I have a great video of my wife eating it ha!). I ended up having 2 portions and a lady on my tour loved it and ended up having 4 portions.
Our guide was a young aspiring actress called Karista. She was great fun and really enthusiastic - she is a credit to the tour company. She even took the time to send us an email setting out her personal recommendations of bars and restaurants to try which was a really nice touch - we ended up going to a few of them and they were all good.
Thanks again Karista.

We came from the USA for a January visit and the day we departed for Reykjavik we decided to hop on this food tour immediately after we arrived. What a great decision!
Firstly, there were some issues paying directly on their website, but after I sent a contact request through their website they sorted it out. Noki and Alex were friendly and helpful over email, and it was solved quickly, and we were set for a 1600 tour for 2.
This tour will go regardless of rain, sleet or snow, so be prepared as you will be walking. Our tour was in total 2.2 km or 1.4 miles, with the walk to the final spot uphill. We were in full winter rain gear and that saved us, be prepared to shed layers inside and put them back on a few times.
Our guide Karítas Sif met the group at the Harpa Concert Hall right on time (we were a little early, and enjoyed the time to chat and do intros with the group of 9 persons total). As soon as everyone arrived we were off to eat! Right from the start, Karítas was friendly and shared stories about Iceland's history.
We visited 5 eateries, all had some local fare with history and cultural significance. Karítas did a great job telling us about each place, the food, and answered any questions we had. She was very fun to be with and we were impressed as she managed the group very well. The transitions from one location to the next were seamless, but it was apparent she had mastered the timing of the tour. We never felt rushed but her timing was so perfect that food would arrive at our tables cooked to perfection, nothing was overcooked and there was very little waiting.
All but one eatery was sit-down, and the restaurants had a section reserved for the group, so no waiting and no conflict with other patrons or other tours. I had originally wondered if this might be a concern, but there were no logistical problems and it was apparent this was a very well planned and managed tour!
We would highly recommend this group tour, it was so enjoyable there was nothing negative about it at all. Overall the variety and quality of food was top-notch, a real taste of Iceland. Must do, no matter the season, go with Wake Up Reykjavik.
Thank you Karítas!

This was a perfect introduction to Iceland!! Our guide, Dagur, was entertaining and easy to interact with as he educated us on Iceland’s traditional and current cuisines.
We really liked the exposure to the different restaurants and the walk through the streets of downtown Reykjavik! Definitely appreciated his explanations on the history behind many of the dishes we tried. Our family enjoyed ALL of the food selections…and even tried the traditional bite of fermented shark with a “chaser” shot of brennivín!
NOTE: The tour price does NOT include the cost of beverages other than water. You would separately settle up the cost of your additional beverages before leaving each restaurant. The guides tell you that in advance, but it’s worth keeping in mind.
Dagur was great at answering any questions our group asked! We even learned a little about Norse mythology and also some Icelandic Christmas folklore about Grýla, the Yule Lads and the Yule Cat!!
Even though it was the third week in August, it was a very chilly afternoon during our walk due to a strong and constant wind. Come prepared with clothes you would normally associate with cold climates and dress in layers!
I definitely recommend Wake Up Reykjavik’s Food Tour and now I know why there are so many 5-star reviews for this tour!! Absolutely worth it!!

We are so glad that we booked this food tour of Reykjavik. Our host Siggy was friendly and she spoke about different parts of Reykjavik as we walked around the city.
We visited 5 different food places to try typical Icelandic delicacies and food. Even with just small taster sizes of food at each place, we were so full at the end and certainly didn’t need to go out for an evening meal afterwards! You could buy your own drinks, beers, cocktails from each place, at your own cost.
There were about 10-12 people on our tour, a mixture of people from different countries. Siggy spoke in English.
We would definitely recommend this food tour, especially for anyone who likes to try new food and experience a country’s culture.

Via heyisland.is we booked the Reykjavik Food Walk for a tour starting at 10:30, which was an excellent choice as we covered breakfast and lunch.
The meeting point at the main entrance to Harpa was easy to find and a great choice as not only is the Harpa beautiful, but also enables waiting away from whatever weather happens to be outside. Bergur (or Burger as he simplified for us), our guide, was super friendly and knowledgeable on a range of subjects such as architecture, well beyond food. He clearly loves food and Iceland, and cooks himself also. He was keen to explain Islandic cultures and traditions and happily answered any question anyone asked.
We ended up in a mixed group of nine interesting people and set out on a walk through Reykjavik tasting a large variety of local delicacies such as pancakes, fried fish, fish hash, lamb hot dog, fermented shark, lamb stew and rey bread ice cream while enjoying a walking tour through the city center pickled with information on current and historic Iceland.
We would very much recommend to commence your visit with this tour. It is great for setting the scene and a wonderful introduction.

We were so looking forward to the Reykjavík Food Walk and it did not disappoint! Our guide was Haddy and he definitely made the tour fun and interesting. Haddy grew up in Reykjavík so he has a first hand knowledge of the history and best places to eat. The tour began with appetizers followed by small entree servings, ending with dessert. I highly recommend booking this tour early in your stay so you can get a feel for the city and find those hidden gems you want to come back to.

Could not recommend this tour enough! Our tour guide Katrin turned a group of 13 strangers into a "mini family" for the duration of the tour and provided information about each dish we tried, along with other interesting information/facts about Iceland, during our walk from restaurant to restaurant! After the tour, we were even lucky enough to receive an email with some other restaurant recommendations. This tour is 100% worth every penny and should be added to all future itineraries for travellers when visiting Iceland!

This tour is worth the hype! I landed in Iceland on a Monday morning and scheduled the 1:30PM tour, which worked out perfectly. I was ready to eat and the food tour did not disappoint. Our guide, "Love," was a true delight for the entire afternoon. She had an infectious energy and her love of Iceland, its cuisine, history and culture were palpable. We made the (5) stops as promised and sampled lamb hot dogs, arctic char and cod, lamb, fermented shark, local beverages (there were even non-alcoholic options for this sober gal), and dessert. My favorite stops were Messinn and Loki, but they were all delicious! The walking between stops was casual and easy, but certainly make sure you are dressed for the weather no matter what time of year you decide to go. I highly recommend this as a first stop for anyone coming to Iceland - I felt like I had a better understanding of local cuisine and what to expect during my stay, got a lovely overview of the city, AND it was a substantial amount of food for quite a deal! The team at Wake Up Reykjavik were also very friendly and helpful via email as I was planning my trip, helping me find a public parking lot nearby our meeting point, and guiding me to the app to pay for parking. Overall, a really enjoyable and pleasant experience from beginning to end!

I was in Reykjavik for 7 days as a solo traveler. It is an interesting city with a vibrant food culture that can be intimidating. I saw the Food Walk and decided it was a great way to sample small bites and get insight into the different places I may wish to experience on my own. Our group (about 12 people) met "Siggy", our guide, at the concert hall. She was on time, organized and possessed a joyful spirit and sense of humor. We went to multiple locations that were always prepared for our groups arrival. Siggy gave us information on what to expect and suggestions based on the offerings available. There was always a vegetarian option available. We sampled grilled fillet of horse (delicious); baked Arctic char with mashed potatoes and caper butter (yummy); fermented shark and a shot of Brennivin (a must experience); the traditional creamed fish stew (hearty and in a beautiful atmosphere); the famous Icelandic hot dog (who knew??) "ein med ollu" with everything (absolutely amazing) and finished at a historic hotel with hot beverage and Happy Marriage cake. Throughout our walk Siggy shared stories, told us about herself and her family and answered any and all crazy questions the group had. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour if you have the time and are interested in experiencing the Reykjavik food scene beyond fish & chips (which are also really good).

This food walking tour has beeb one of the highlights of my trip! The experience was a perfect blend of delicious food, engaging storytelling, and a wonderful walk through the city’s charming streets.
Our guide Dagur was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating insights about Icelandic cuisine, history, and culture. We sampled a variety of traditional and modern Icelandic dishes—everything from fresh seafood to unique local delicacies—all at carefully selected spots that truly showcased the best of Reykjavik’s food scene.
Not only was the food outstanding, but the atmosphere that Dagur created was also warm and welcoming. The small group size made it easy to connect with fellow travelers, and the tour felt relaxed yet well-organized.
If you love good food and want to learn more about Icelandic culture in a fun and engaging way, I highly recommend this tour. Come hungry—you won’t be disappointed!

I cannot eat seafood. Will there be other options at every stop to avoid seafood or is most of the food seafood?
Written March 11, 2024
A lot of the stuff we had wasn't seafood but we had people who had food allergies and they made the guides aware. The guides catered to their allergy needs and they had separate foods at certain locations to meet their restrictions.

Are there gluten free options at the places you eat at on the tour? My friend has celiac. I don’t want to sign us up for this if she can’t enjoy the food as well :)
Written February 21, 2023
Yes! My girlfriend is gluten intolerant and they made sure to have alternatives available and to inform her what was safe and what wasn't. Make sure you tell them when you book though. She also confirmed with the guide when we checked in.

We will be in Iceland mid December. The only time that works for us for this tour is at 5pm(1700) is this tour still fun even when it is dark out? I really want to do it but I don't want to waste an evening if it isn't worth it in the dark.
Written November 12, 2022
The dark should not be an issue at all-the city will probably be even prettier with all the holiday lights in place. A fantastic tour!!!

Is there any food on this tour that’s suitable for vegans? I’m aware the Icelandic diet isn’t naturally vegan friendly but would be good to know!
Written August 3, 2022
The guide will ask for diet wishes at the start of the tour and will inform the restaurants. My mom is a vegetarian, and she had different meals. I think you should be fine!!
Written August 5, 2022
Will this trip be able to replace the dinner in Reykjavik (are there only small tastings, or will we be full)?

Many Thanks
