Our guide was well informed and knowledgable about the culture and history of Reykjavik. Unfortunately we had to leave the tour after a couple of hours due to another commitment.

Great information about the history and culture of Iceland and Reykjavik. Our guide, Help, kept us interested and informed. Would recommend this as a great introduction to Iceland if it is your first time there.

Our tour guide Bardi was the best. We had a lovely stroll through downtown Reykjavik where we were introduced to the Shop cats. The Cat Cafe was the high point of the tour. For once, I wasn't the only one stopping to get photos of the cats.

Our tour guide, Palli, & his informative talks is the main reason I'm giving this tour 4stars. I expected more interesting traditional food. The tour descrition stated 10 types of food & it's disappointing that half if them were all in a candy store. Cost of tour wasn't justified.

Very insighful experience. Einar was articulate and had a great sense of humor. It was very thoughtful of him to send a photo log following the tour so we have a pictorial memory. The tastings were plentiful and included some "interesting" morsels. Highly recommend this tour.

An excellent tour by Einar Steinn Valgarðsson and I will return to go on another tour. The tour was relaxed and very informative, many things you would never read in a book or guide were included. Einar made it very comfortable and personal and wow has he got a great voice (come on the tour just for that).

Our guide was awesome! We learned about cats but so so much more about iceland, it's history, and modern practices. I highly recommend this tour!

We ended up taking 2 tours with Your Friend In Reykjavik on our recent trip. Our first trip was a drinking/Beer tour and our guide was Helgi. Helgi was so amazing and accommodating. He took us to the different bar locations, but catered the samplings of beers to our likings. We met a few locals, as well, as Helgi is just so personable and easy for anyone to strike up a conversation with. Helgi had a lot of interesting stories about history, but also about the recent history of Reykjavik as he has lived there his entire life. Our second tour was the Walking with a Viking Tour and our guide was Einar. Einar is a great storyteller and this tour was very informative. There was someone in the group that had mobility issues and Einar made sure to tell this person ahead of time exactly what was coming up at each turn and even slowed down to be sure this person was included in all conversations and stories. I would highly suggest both of these tours and would highly suggest both of these guides for your visit to Reykjavik!

I love food, it gives me great joy, and I love trying new recipes. I also love visiting new places and learning about the history of the folk and their traditions and I also love a good storyteller. This tour checked all the boxes for me. The guide, Pal, a weathered fisherman, tall with white flowing locks, could play the part of Santa in a movie. Pal, was wonderful, a great storyteller, and loved his native Iceland, and its food. He kept us entertained and informed with great stories of his life as a fisherman, and the history of his beautiful town and brought us to the best eateries in town. I tried everything and I was blown away by the taste of it all. I even tried (and smelled - eeuuu!) the fermented shark, and as tradition goes, I chewed it twice, swallowed and washed it down with a shot of Snapps! Don't be scared, the stories are worst than its bite ;-)

Very entertaining tour. Our guide was so informative and shared some lovely family memories about Icelandic culture and history. We learned so much about Reykjavik and Iceland. I would highly recommend this tour.

Stefan was a wonderful guide. Introduced is to the local cuisine each was an adventure.. his knowledge of Iceland and its history was never ending. He was a great story teller.. Highly recommend this tour.

We went on the bakery/ candy tour. Our guide was Mathias and he was very good and laid back. We stopped by several places in the downtown area visiting bakeries, a Greek donut shop, ice cream shop, and a restaurant for cheesecake with skyr. We also visited a gift shop to sample different flavors of licorice. My husband and I were the only people on the tour and we had plenty of time for conversation with Mathias. We talked about the history of Iceland and everyday life there.

We had the best tour with Einar! He was very fun and super knowledgeable! We had a lot of laughs and he gave us so many recommendations for restaurants, bars, and Icelandic music to try out. 10/10 an amazing start to our trip!!

Excellent tour of the vibrant local craft beer scene in Reykjavik. Our guide was knowledgeable and a lot of fun to hang with. Highly recommend this tour.

Our guide, Einar was fun and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the folklore aspect very much. Our guide was also very knowledgeable about the history of Iceland.
