    Loved Lolly and experiencing traditional Icelandic foods! He told us so much history and background of Iceland, the rest of our trip wouldn’t have been the same without this! 10/10 recommend

    Lalli was the best! Funny, engaging, full of history facts regarding Iceland, food, the people, culture and how to save money while visiting. I am so happy we booked this outing our first night in the capitol city. You cannot beat the price. Generous food portions at several stops and then craft beer! I could not drink all the offerings of beer at the last stop b/c I was so full! Lalli is a trip and it shines through b/c he is doing what he loves and it shows!

    Thank you for your kind words. Happy you left the experience with a belly full of food :)
    Delicious tour of Reykjavik!
    Nicole_S, Sep 2023
    Wow! What a delightful 3 hours! Definitely plan on the tour being dinner. We ate at three different places (and a beer flight at a local bar at the end) and tried a variety of delicious traditional Icelandic foods. Lalli is funny, engaging and a wealth of knowledge. He’s a native Icelander- informed us about history, mythology, politics, how food is prepared and so on. He’s very charming and so is Reykjavík! So glad we did this tour on our first night in town.

    Our guide, Lalli, has encyclopedic knowledge of Icelandic food, history, customs and cost-saving tips. After this tour I have insight to Iceland that would be difficult to possess otherwise.

    Susan_A, Jul 2023
    Fun great experience. Knowledgeable guide, Very informative and interesting made our trip to Reykjavík super FUN. Native Lalli knew everything there is to know about Iceland and took us to some interesting food locations we would have never discovered on our own. We were stuffed by the end of the tour. Highly recommend.

    Funky icelsnd food and brew
    Susan_V, Oct 2022
    We really enjoyed Lalli’s tour. He shared a lot of information about the history of Iceland and its people. We had several traditional icelandic dishes (pickled shark, smoked lamb, pancakes, fish stew, fish and chips). Then we sampled various craft beers to finish the evening. Small wonderful group of 7 people. I highly recommend this tour

    Best Tour Ever
    Lisa_K, Aug 2022
    This was a fun way to see the major sites in Reykjavik. The culture and history was explained through food and beer. There is no better way to learn about Iceland.
    Response from Host, Aug 2022
    Thank you. You are the best guest ever!
    Wonderful walk about....
    Brian_L, Jul 2022
    Without a doubt one of the best tours during our vacation to Iceland was the Funky Food & Beer Walk of Reykjavik. Funky Food’s Lella warmly welcomed us and created a friendly atmosphere from the start! Lella was very informative and was an excellent guide. Once she discovered my wife was an artist, she adjusted the tour to include a hidden sculpture garden. A garden we walked past several times and didn’t know existed. During the tour we were exposed to Iceland’s delicacies; flatbread with smoked lamb, meat soup, rye bread slices with mashed fish, smoked trout, dried fish with butter and my favorite, fermented shark. The Icelandic cuisine was complimented with valuable insight into the nation’s politics, culture and history. We ended our evening tour at a local brewery and sampled a flight of locally produced beers. We left with a better perspective of the island nation of Iceland. We highly recommend the tour.

    Highlight of my trip (A must)
    Clara_B, Jan 2022
    Absolutely amazing! I had so much fun and learned so much. This was one of the highlights of my trip and is always included in the stories I tell. Not only did we get amazing food and so much information for such a low price but our guide was such a nice guy and felt like meeting up with an old friend! I'll be sure to rebook on my next trip to Iceland.

    This was the best way to start our Icelandic trip! Lella was incredible and so knowledgable. She lead us around the streets of Reykjavík; making us much more familiar with our new surroundings. Not only did we get to try a multitude of traditional Icelandic foods, we also learned of all the rich history that Iceland contains. By the end of this tour we filled our brains with new knowledge, filled our stomachs with delicious food and beer and filled our hearts with new friendships. TAKE THIS TOUR!
