Description

Leave for a sweet exploration in the heart of Reykjavik on a gourmet food tour!

Starting from Ingólfstorg, you'll join your local guide for a two-hour stroll through the bustling streets of Iceland's capital. Your first stop will be at a traditional bakery, where you'll sample specialties such as kleina, a fried doughnut-like pastry, and snúður, a cinnamon bun.

Then you'll visit a specialty store to discover Icelandic chocolates, renowned for their original flavors blending licorice, birch sugar and local wild berries. Your guide will explain the particularities of these unique confections.

The walk will continue with an ice-cream break in a renowned parlour, where you can enjoy ice creams with typically Icelandic flavours, such as skyr or liquorice.

To conclude this sweet adventure, you'll explore an iconic confectionery to sample local sweets such as Draumur, a licorice chocolate bar, or Þristur, a gourmet combination of chocolate and licorice.

Throughout this experience, your guide will share anecdotes about Icelandic culinary culture and the history of its sweets, making this tour as informative as it is delicious.
