Absolute a must do when you want to know more about the country besides the beautiful nature. Our guide Jens guided us during our first evening in Tørshaven so we immediately knew every building for the next days during our stay. He can answer every question you have and has some very nice insights.

I highly recommend taking this tour! It was very interesting and enjoyable. Tour guide was very kind and friendly. Well organized and on time pickup and drop off at our hotel. The sites and beauty of the Faroe Islands was on full display. You will not be disappointed! Jens Petars was like traveling with a good friend. I would recommend any tour he was leading. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

The boat tour was good, we did a small round to 2 photo spots. We were even lucky and saw a small whale, the guides stopped briefly then.

For the second part you are dropped off on the island, where you have free access except for a few exceptions.

However, you only have about 50 minutes on the island, which I find far too little. Just hiking to the spots alone takes a lot of time, so you are rather in a hurry and can't fully enjoy it.

Nevertheless, you have a great view.

Still recommendable, you should just keep in mind that you only have 50 minutes on the island to hike and take your photos - you have to be quick to photograph all the spots.

The boat tour was good.
The guide was very nice and helpful.
We went to several photo spots and everyone had the chance to take pictures.

You get a full-body rain/wind suit on site.

I would have liked the guide to share a bit of historical background at the photo spots (dates, facts, etc.).

The group size was appropriate. The price was okay.

Otherwise recommendable.

Fun, informative tour with amazing views. Our guide and captain were both very friendly people. They also provide you with thick wind/water proof clothing, so you won’t feel cold, especially outside the summer months.

Elsa and Jens are the absolute best tour guides in the Faroes! Not only did we see so many beautiful sites, but we were told so many stories about this beautiful country. They are so informative and extremely proud of being Faroese and it comes through in this experience. We felt extremely welcome the entire time and especially enjoyed the break where we got amazing coffee and a shot of aquavit! More than being in great hands, what made this experience the best was by the time we had to say goodbye, my wife and I felt sad that we were leaving these amazing people. By the end of 8 hours, it felt like we were a part of their family and that says so much about how genuine and lovely Elsa and Jens are. 10/10 would do it again and again!!

​Our guide was very pleasant and shared wonderful insights into the city and local culture. Unfortunately, the food tour itself was quite a disappointment and did not meet our expectations for a local culinary experience. While it started well with delicious homemade dry-fermented lamb on bread, the rest of the stops felt mismatched—featuring sweet scones, chocolate, ice cream, and smoked salmon. We had hoped for a more authentic showcase of traditional local flavours. The tour concluded with some local beer.

Great tour to Dunnesdrangar!
The guide was very nice, helpful and informative. For the mixed group (young & old) there were enough small breaks. At the viewpoint you have plenty of time for photos without any time pressure. €60 is totally fine for the Faroes and you support the locals - since it's private land, having a guide makes perfect sense. Apparently, if the weather is bad / no visibility, there is even a guarantee to join a second time. A clear must-see & highly recommended!

The Faroes are fantastic, such scenery, such welcoming people. The biggest problem was the lack of detail in the itinerary which meant we had very little idea of what we were going to see. One liners just dont cut it. There were also glaring omissions of historical sites .

This was a wonderful full-day tour and our group of 11 enjoyed every moment of it with our guides Elsa Maria and Jens Peter in two cars.
We did not only see beautiful landscapes, fjords and mountains, but our guides also told a lot of the Faroe people and the everyday life on the Faroe Islands. This was truely a see-it-all tour thanks to our skilled guides with that 'extra' that made the day special.
I can recommend this tour and these guides to everyone visiting the Faroe Islands!

This was an outstanding tour. It was very educational as well as culturally fulfilling. Both David and the farmer and his wife were warm and friendly. The soup and bread were delicious and we enjoyed the experience of sitting around their kitchen table visiting with people from around the world. I would recommend booking this tour. It will be one of the highlights of your trip to the Faroe Islands!

Great experience. Although we needed to change the route due to strong wind and rough sea, the trip was a success.
Nice views and a very skilled "skipper" getting us very close to the cliffs.

Fun activity for a good weather day. Water is calm, easy kayaking, and equipment is in good condition - you help yourself. Took about 1-1.5 hours to paddle around the whole lake. Only issue is the equipment is in a shipping container on the opposite side of the road so you have to carry the heavy kayak about 20 meters across the road and down a steep embankment yourself (which as a solo person was difficult but manageable)

I can’t say enough good things about this tour and my guide, Melissa. Even though I was the only one on the tour, she still took me on this amazing trip. I really enjoyed her company, as well as that of her adorable dog, Minnie. She is incredibly warm and helpful, and even went out of her way to help me with an issue during my trip. It was my privilege to get to know them. There is so much to see in Vágar, and this route is perfectly planned to let you see a great deal without feeling rushed. Highly recommended!
