What does the ticket include?

A local guide for about three hours, four to six eateries (usually five) and eight or more Icelandic tastings that add up to a full meal.

The stops range from food trucks and a hot dog stand to sit-down restaurants. Guests most often mention Arctic char (sometimes cooked two ways), lamb, Icelandic cheeses, the famous hot dog and rye bread ice cream, with a cube of fermented shark for the brave. The exact menu changes with the departure, because each partner restaurant keeps its own hours.

What is not included?

Hotel pickup is not offered, and tips are not in the price.

You make your own way to Harpa Concert Hall, which is a short walk from most downtown hotels. The Viator inclusions list food only; guests say some drinks come with the tastings and that anything more (a beer or a glass of wine at a stop) is paid for separately. Tipping is not expected in Iceland, because service is built into prices.

Is it cheaper to book direct or on Viator?

Not meaningfully: the operator charges 18,900 ISK and Viator from $146, which is about the same at current exchange rates.

The differences are in the details. Viator charges in your own currency, shows the child and infant rates at checkout and keeps your booking with your other Viator plans. The operator's site is the only place to book the private version. Both cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before. If you want a drink at every stop instead, compare the other Reykjavik food tours.

Do kids pay full price?

No. Children 4 to 11 pay the child rate, about $89, and children 3 and under go free; from 12 they pay the adult price.

The walk covers about 2 km at an easy pace with sit-down restaurant stops, and the operator says infant seats are available. One family on the operator's page says their two kids of about ten loved it. Picky eaters are the bigger question than stamina; see food tours with kids and dietary needs.

Where does it start and end?

It starts at the main entrance of Harpa Concert Hall (Austurbakki 2) and ends in the centre near Hallgrimskirkja.

Look for the guide with a blue backpack, inside the lobby or just outside. The route passes the Arnarholl hill with the Ingolfur Arnarson statue, Laugavegur and the Parliament House. Different departures can follow different routes, so do not plan to meet friends at a particular stop.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancel more than 24 hours before the start for a full refund; within 24 hours the ticket is non-refundable.

The rule is the same on Viator and on the operator's site, where you can also reschedule if you write in before the 24-hour mark. The private version is stricter, at 72 hours. The tour runs in all weather, so pack a waterproof layer rather than waiting for the forecast.

Lunch or dinner, same price: pick the departure that fits your first day and cancel free up to 24 hours before.

Is the Reykjavik Food Walk worth it?

For most first-time visitors, yes: it is a full meal, an orientation walk and a crash course in Icelandic food in one ticket.

It holds a 5.0 rating from more than 21,000 Viator reviews, and guests keep saying to arrive hungry. It is less of a fit if you are vegan, want a drink at every stop, or need step-free access, because the old restaurant buildings are not wheelchair accessible.
