Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We were undecided on what to do in Reykjavik on a recent cruise. We had been here before but were traveling with family, one person who walked slowly with a cane. We decided to take a walking tour at the last minute with Lalli. I let him know we had a slow walker with us and he led us on a wonderful tour of the city. He was extremely understanding about making a stop to rest for my brother; was very imformative including a good dose of humor; and truly loved sharing his city with us. \n\nWe enjoyed a special fish and chips lunch together and he was the perfect guide for our morning in Reykjavik. I'd highly recommend Lalli to anyone wishing to learn about the history and culture of this wonderful city."
"We had a fantastic time on the food tour.\nNatalia was a wonderful guide\u2014warm, knowledgeable, and fun to be with. She shared fascinating insights about the local culture, history, and cuisine, making the experience both delicious and educational. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to connect with Iceland in a more authentic and flavorful way!\n\n"

"We were with a group of 5 friends, and we had a blast with Nataliia. She showed us around downtown Reykjavik and showed us some traditional dishes at nice spots. "
"We were looking for a food tour with unique local delicacies and we found it! We tasted delicious cod stew and soup with lamb. And Natalia also challenged us by offering to eat the local treat H\u00E1karl, fermented shark. Quite an experience :) Together with the other tasting we had more than a full diner.\n\nNext to this we had a lovely strawl through town and Natalia told us all about local culture and the history of Iceland. Also she gave us great tips for the rest of our stay. Definitely recommended!"
"We had a wonderful walking food tour with Nataliia for 3 hours. All of the stops were delicious and brought us to places we would not have otherwise gone. Would highly recommend going with her if in Iceland!!"
"Nataliia did a fantastic job showing us the highlights of this beautiful city. She was very knowledgeable about all things Reykjavik and Iceland. Her enthusiasm for this area and travel in general helped make this a great experience. Highly recommend her"
"Nataliia was perfect. She was friendly, knowledgeable about the city and its history, and helped us discover exciting places to eat. \nI highly recommend."
"Nataliia was not feeling well, and was kind enough to send a friend rather than expose us to her ailment. Our guide was Maria. She is delightful!! She met us at our hotel, which we greatly appreciate. She rearranged the path of the tour to start at our location! Her English is exquisite so we were able to understand all of the interesting historical stories, which she told very well. She introduced us to Iceland\u2019s history with enthusiasm and humor. We felt well informed, and also felt that we truly got an experience with a \u201Clocal\u201D who made us appreciate the Icelandic people very much more. Everything we hoped to have on this tour, we had \u2014 even ending at a bakery with the best warm cinnamon rolls in the world! Thanks to Nataliia for caring about our health (we hope you feel better!). Thank you to Maria for caring about our experience and making it unforgettable!"
