Your Friend In Reykjavik

a month ago

We were delighted with our experience on the walking food tour with Your Friend In Reykjavík. We had the pleasure of having Palli as our guide and honestly, food aside, he was all the entertainment we needed. As a native of Iceland and retired fisherman, Palli (Pall) has an intimate knowledge of the country’s heritage and how its culture influences the local food. The highlight was honestly the Icelandic hot dog, as I’ve never had a hot dog that good in my life. The tour was extremely well arranged and orchestrated. At every stop, our tables were reserved and we never had to wait for our food for more than a few minutes. I really did not envision this food tour being one of the highlights of our trip, but it absolutely was. Highly recommend this tour to any visitors. Fantastic experience and many thanks to Palli!

We greatly enjoyed our walking food tour with Your Friend in Reykjavik. Palli (Pàll), our guide, was informative, upbeat, open, and fun. As a native Icelander and retired fishing boat captain, he was very insightful on a range of topics in addition to food. This is not a simple tasting experience! We had ample portions of a broad range of dishes, all of which I enjoyed. Our group was small and congenial, and Palli was a gem. At 6’4” at least with long blond hair and beard, he was easy to follow. Excellent experience!

I took this tour my first night in Reykjavík. Mathias was a great guide, personable, knowledgeable, and witty. Not only did I learn about the folklore of the region, I got an overview of the history of both Reykjavík and Iceland. I also got to see some parts of the city that I might not have seen on my own. I found this to be a good value for the price and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about the hidden people and the city itself.
