Interesting, informative, delicious. Flavio did an excellent presentation, his humour kept us on our toes and out of the hot water. Lots of opportunity to ask questions. Tasting the warm bread right out of the earth with the local trout from the lake was a nice finish to the experience. So tempting to try to make this bread at home “oven style” with their recommended adjustments.

The event was lovely! We had time to enjoy the cafe before the tour started and watch the previous tour end with yummy bread. Our group was quite large but we all were able to feel the hot soil when our guide dug up the warm lava bread. She offered anyone a chance to dig also! We felt the steam rise up from the soil and smell the newly opened pot of 24 hour bread - delicious smell! We watched our guide cut the bread and steam rose again. We learned about the Icelandic butter (salted) and the smoked trout that came from the nearby lake. The lava bread came with a recipe and a bit of history on this ancient cooking method. It's a short event and you can also dip into the geothermal hot springs and sauna on the premises.

What an amazing activity! Our guide was very engaging and shared a lot of interesting information about the locale and bread-baking tradition. The bread was delicious! We timed our drive around the Golden Circle so we can get here in time for a mid-afternoon snack. Well worth the price and a must-do while in Iceland.
