What You’ll Experience on the Tour

1. A Warm Reykjavík Welcome

You’ll meet your expert guide at a central spot in downtown Reykjavík—easily coordinated by TPO.Travel with private transport or hotel pickup upon request. The tour kicks off with a quick orientation, giving you context about the city’s unique history and architecture as you begin your walk.

2. A Taste of Old & New Iceland

Over the course of 3–4 hours, you’ll visit five to six handpicked locations, ranging from cozy, family-owned restaurants to modern establishments putting a creative twist on Icelandic classics. Some highlights include:

• Icelandic Lamb Soup (Kjötsúpa): Hearty and warming, made with root vegetables and slow-cooked lamb.
• Skyr: Iceland’s creamy, high-protein dairy delicacy—often served with berries or rhubarb.
• Plokkfiskur: Traditional mashed fish stew, often served with rye bread.
• Rúgbrauð (Volcano Rye Bread): Baked underground using geothermal heat.
• Brennivín (The Black Death): A signature schnapps that pairs surprisingly well with fermented shark (optional but encouraged for brave souls!).

Vegetarian or dietary restrictions? No problem—TPO.Travel and their partners can adjust the tastings with advance notice.

3. City Walk Meets Storytelling

While your taste buds are busy, your guide will keep you engaged with stories of Reykjavík’s past and present. Learn about:

• The Viking Age and how Icelanders adapted their food culture to harsh conditions
• How Iceland survived 74 years of beer prohibition (and why March 1st is now “Beer Day”)
• The quirky stories behind street names, sculptures, and Icelandic trolls

4. The Cat Café, Street Art & Hallgrímskirkja

While this isn’t a “sightseeing” tour per se, you’ll still see iconic corners of Reykjavík—from lively street murals to historical squares and, if time allows, a stroll by the Hallgrímskirkja Church, the city’s most iconic landmark.
