Funky Iceland · Hallgrimskirkja, downtown Reykjavik
An evening walk at 5 PM from Hallgrimskirkja past the sculpture garden, City Hall and Parliament, with five food stops and craft beer at the end. Pick it for the smallest group on this site: eight guests at most.
Funky Iceland runs this as a history walk with food, and it starts at 5 PM by the Leif Eriksson statue in front of Hallgrimskirkja. The listing caps the group at eight people, the smallest of any tour on this site. Between food stops you see the church, the garden of the Einar Jonsson Sculpture Museum, Reykjavik City Hall and Parliament House.
The listing promises five food stops, "from fermented shark to lamb soup", the famous Icelandic hot dog and Icelandic craft beers. One guest listed pickled shark, smoked lamb, pancakes, fish stew and fish and chips, then a beer flight at a bar to finish. The walk ends at Skuli Craft Bar on Adalstraeti. Snacks, alcoholic drinks and all fees are included.
One thing to know: the 92 reviews are older than on the other tours, and the newest quote in the listing is from June 2024. They are all glowing, and most name the same guide, Lalli. The listing says it is not wheelchair accessible.

★★★★★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.
★★★★★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.
★★★★★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!
