We were so lucky to have booked a whole week with Ymir. It was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we all travel extensively! There were 4 of us, and he helped plan an amazing itinerary to see all the significant landmarks and experiences in Iceland, and then stayed with us throughout the week. [...]
My Husband and I just came back from 8 days in Iceland. Each day was an exciting adventure. However, our favorite day was spent with Ymir on the Magical Iceland Private Tour. If you do one tour, definitely spend your day doing this. Ymir will take you around the Golden Circle, feeding you delicious food [...]
A fascinating exploration of Icelandic food and culture. Emir is very knowledgable and extremely personable. He takes you to places and enables you to experience food that you would be unlikely to find on your own. It is expensive, but for us it was worth it. robyn r
The Gourmet Tour was a fantastic experience and Ymir is an incredible guide, not only giving great explanations of Icelandic history, nature and folklore but doing so with a personal touch. The tour was intimate, relaxing and highly fulfilling. The food and drinks on the tour were wonderful and never ending from start to finish. [...]
This tour was everything we had hoped for, and soo much more: breathtaking nature, authentic Icelandic culture, fabulous food and the best of times with many laughs and inside stories with our lovely guide Ymir, who knows everything (and probably everyone) there is to know about Iceland. Just GO! You will not regret it. Tina [...]
This was a (un)surprise treat for my birthday from my wife for which I am truly grateful. Since I hate surprises, I had a big hole in the itinerary for this trip and I wanted to have a framework for our trip. She ended up telling me what it was this was it. Both the [...]
We loved our day with Ýmir who felt like a friend in no time We were 3 adults on the Golden Circle Gourmet tour. So incredible - enjoyed every minute - learning about Iceland (the inside scoop) and experiencing the spectacular scenery and tastes! So happy that we chose this experience that hit all the [...]
Wish I had taken more food pix so I could both show and describe Ymir's super tour! He is a food critic, "bon vivant", friend of politicians, restaurant owners, farmers, you name it! From an amazing smoked lamb carpaccio to the obligatory rotten shark chased down with Black Death cumin vodka (liked the vodka!), Ymir's [...]
The perfect way to experience Iceland, especially if you only have one day -- and what a day it will be for you! Ymir, a national celebrity (and you'll see why, after just a little but of time with him!), took us to all the "right" places, avoiding the nasty tourist traps, and along the [...]
Ymir and Hebba are wonderful ... They love their country and do a wonderful job showing it off. They were professional, fun, and very knowledge - I cannot recommend these tours more. We did both tours (city food tour on Saturday, golden circle tour on Sunday). The food was phenomenal, and all of the stops [...]
