Bonnie was a great guide for this tour, and she introduced us to some wonderful food and restaurants. We were sorry that the restaurant we liked best had only a 7 course tasting menu if we wanted to go there for dinner (we didn't want to eat that much!) but we were glad we got to sample some of it!

Do this first thing, so you get ideas of where to return for your meals. Looking at the question below, it was not a hiking trip.

We really liked this experience because we got to try the traditional Icelandic foods without having to get them as your entree for dinner if you’re not that adventurous. Our guide Agla was really knowledgeable and pointed out historical buildings and facts along the way. Read more
