Champagne & Shopping

I had a private tour with Bjartur Gudmundsson who was the perfect tour host. He selected very special places which represented different aspects of capital life and food. Our... Read more first stop was at the Fischersund perfumery and boutique where smell and art are entertwined. Next we went to the posthu food hall and bar where I had an incredible lamb burger and other treats inspired by Indian spices. But looked like there were many good choices Next was the food cellar which had delicious food. And a place definitely to go back to. The tour de force was the private Kjarval club with great views and art. What I especially loved about the tour—getting a sense of the places, people, art and history from a delightfully interesting guide. I would highly recommend magical Iceland for a truly personalized experience.

Fantastic experience in NIceland! - Ymir gave us two unforgettable days in Iceland! Together with our team of 10 colleagues, we did the Gourmet Golden Circle and the Reykjavik Food & Wine Tour. We enjoyed... Read more beautiful views and delicious snacks and drinks and this in great locations!

Magical Iceland Pure Enchantment! Do Not Miss! - What a phenomenal tour! This was THE best food tour I’ve ever taken and I’ve taken many of them, including one in my home town. Gabriela, our guide, is just... Read more pure joy and delight. Her love for what she does, her country and the people of Iceland are palpable in her demeanor and presentation. The food was plentiful (Ymir with whom I was in contact prior to the tour, suggests cancelling dinner plans for that evening and he’s rightthere is a LOT of wonderful food!) and the venues are top notch. If yo love eating and have an understanding that food is culture do not miss this tour. Make sure you taste the shark; it’s better than you’d imagine.

The most incredible and unique food, drink, music and Iceland history tour - Firstly to say this is a food tour would be a huge injusticeit is so much more than that.
My family and I were so fortunate to spend the afternoon... Read more walking around Reykjavik with Ýmir, who is the most amazing host. We ate incredible food, sampled amazing wine / beer, saw stunning street art, listened to music together (fans of Sigur Rós and Jónsi will love it), visited some very cool places and learnt so much more about Iceland.
The passion and warmth that Ýmir has radiates from him and it felt like we were catching up with an old friend rather than meeting someone for the first time.
My children (11 and 9) loved every minute of it and haven’t stop talking about it, saying it was their favourite day - considering we’ve seen all the attractions of the Golden Circle and been to the Blue Lagoon, pretty impressive feedback!
This should be on anyone’s list when visiting Reykjavik / Iceland - you will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much Ýmir for a truly special day that we will never forget.

Incredible Iceland and magical tours - We did the Reykjavik food and wine tour as well as the Golden Circle tour with the wonderful Ymir back in June/July 2021. We have traveled a lot over... Read more the years and these were up there with the best tours we have ever done! Ymir was warm, friendly and passionate about his home country. Nothing was too much trouble and he went out of his way to make the trips special. As well as the great food, he gave us insight into the unique art and music of Reykjavik and gave us recommendations about other trips we had planned.
This was our first trip since COVID and was a route for us to get home to see family, little did we know how special it would be, thank you Ymir!! We will definitely be back to Iceland and I would definitely recommend Magical Iceland as part of your trip.
