Beer Walking Tour

Irene_B, May 2023

Great tour for beer and Iceland history

Corey_P, Apr 2023

Tour guide was interesting and made for great conversation about Iceland in general, not just the beer. The history of beer in Iceland is pretty crazy!

Astor is the best story teller.

Aylmer_G, Mar 2023

Astor was our guide. Very knowledgeable about Iceland's booze, beer and brewery history. The way he tells his stories and experiences is so much fun you can see it on his facial experessions and the way he acts. Tour feels like you are bar hopping with friends in Iceland. Very fun and highly recommended.

Great Host, Great Beer, Great Time

Chris_J, Feb 2023

I'm a big beer drinker and was curious about the beer scene in Iceland. Our host Stefan didn't disappoint, taking us to three different spots to try a wide variety of great beers. He kept us entertained with great stories about Iceland and Icelandic culture. Fascinating and informative and we all had a great conversation. I'm not normally a tour/excursion guy, but based on this experience alone I would be inclined to book more excursions with Viator. A lot of fun.

OMG....what an incredibly...

Kelly_H, Jan 2023

OMG....what an incredibly fun night!!!!! If you are visiting Reykjavik, this is an absolute must!!!! The guide was so much fun and provided a ton of local stories and folklore. Again, it is 100% worth it!!!!

Ask for Stephen as your guide!

Stephanie_B, Jan 2023

Stephen was a wonderful guide and honestly a great person to just have a beer with. His personality and stories made the experience feel like you were just meeting up with an old friend. His stories made the experience and really gives you an insight to the local life.

FUN!

It was a great and a fun experience. Our guide (Chris) was funny, full of knowledge and careful. We tasted a lot of different and tasteful beers in different places. I definitely recommend it.

Great way to kick off your stay!

Brooke_D, Oct 2022

Great way to kick off our first visit to Iceland! Our guide was fantastic sharing some history, taking us to places we never would’ve found, and making recommendations for the rest of our stay. The group was small (6 people) which also made it great as we got to know each other and really shared in the experience. Would highly recommend!

Great time, great beer
