This was an absolute delight! We participated in this festival of food and facts on Friday, October 21st and it was a highlight of our trip to Reykjavík. Sindri, our terrific guide, shared many details of the heritage of Iceland and described each restaurant and dish. He was interesting and funny, the food was delicious, and we will highly recommend this tour to our friends planning a visit in the future.

This food walk tour is a MUST during your visit to Reykjavík! From traditional to new age to street Icelandic cuisine…you’ll get a taste of it all (and yes that includes dessert too). Our tour guide, Alma was incredibly warm, articulate and insightful about the dishes being showcased. She also did a lovely job interweaving cultural and historical nuggets of information related to the food and any monuments/sites of significance we encountered as we made our way around the streets of the city. Thank you Alma for making us feel welcome and becoming our friend in Reykjavík 🍻

Our guide Sindri was superb, tremendously knowledgeable and kind and patient with the non English speakers of the group. His selection of restaurants and foods was great, plenty of food, some wonderful flavours. He also followed up afterwards with a list of recommendations for the best spots for everything from restaurants, to highlights to souvenirs. That was going above and beyond, because we asked a lot of questions! He would be brilliantly suited to a longer day tour outside the city, his energy and enthusiasm will carry the group along with him!

I think these kind of tours are very good for experiencing something new, rather than gravitating to your usual food choices in restaurants if done by yourself. But most importantly, Sindri provided an excellent tour throughout the main part of the city, pointing out areas us tourists might have missed entirely. He provided a fun, knowledgeable & charming experience to our first day in Reykjavik.

Great way to explore the city, sample the cuisine, hear some history and fun facts, and get ideas of where and what you’ll want to eat during your stay. Our guide, Tinna, was fun and knowledgeable. It immediately felt as if we had a local friend in Reykjavik! She answered questions, engaged in genuine conversation, made recommendations — never felt like a script. A great experience! Thank you Tinna and Wake Up Reykjavik!

10/10 would recommend this food walk. The food was out of this world delicious, the lamb from fjallkonan was incredible and our guide was lovely the entire way. Tinna was amazing and very knowledgeable. We had several elder folk with us (80+ years old) and she did everything to accommodate them on our tour, even when one of our ladies left her purse at a previous spot. Tinna called the place and got everything sorted. Due to the weather and the line, we didn’t stop at the famous hot dog stand, but she gave everyone free vouchers to return whenever they wished to get their hotdog.

I booked all my trips with wake up Reykjavik before leaving the UK
1. Northern lights
2. Golden Circle and secret lagoon
3. South Coast sights
4. Whale watching

I was travelling with my sister my second visit

This company sources the trips and answered my questions. I did have one issue on my golden circle trip with the van having bad access issues, I won’t go into details but I ended up with an injured leg.
Wake up Reykjavik helped me and contacted the company along with the free lance guide to advise if the accident and the inadequate van.
Wake up Reykjavik secured me a refund from the company.
The tours were all great (apart from van with holiday tours)
Guides were well informed and lovely.
I am giving this company 5 stars as I felt they treated me well and even changed a FAQ on the tour that is misleading for the golden circle tour
Well done to all the team!! And if I come back to Reykjavik I will def book with you guys and advise other people to do so

Our foodie guide Sindri was super informative and fun! In addition to introducing us to Icelandic food, we were also recommended more local restaurants/bars for us to visit as well as some scenic spots in the city. Also I got to meet a bunch of different people on the food walk with me which was really cool:)

This was a fantastic tour! We really became familiar with the city’s geography, its intriguing history and of course, the delicious Icelandic cuisine. Alma was a wonderful guide who really made this tour special. I highly recommend.

Food walk, evening of Sunday 20th November 2022.
14 members of the party.
Myself and my wife have never done a food walk before. It was a very enjoyable experience. This was almost entirely due to the young guide Sindri. He was very personable, informative and enthusiastic. We were impressed with how he handled the dynamics of the group and created an all inclusive and pleasant atmosphere.
The places we visited were great and the food authentic and enjoyable. The pitch and the pace of the walk was perfect. For one so young he is a very capable guide who excels in his role. Would go again. Thank you Sindri. 👍👏👌
