Welcome to Faroe Islands

I was on the "see it all " Faroe Islands tour that packs in the country's most iconic sights with an exceptional, knowledgeable guide Elza Maria in September. Booking the Faroe Islands Highlights Tour via Guide to Faroe Islands is an absolute must. Navigating the winding roads, the tunnels, and remote terrain on your own can be stressful, but this trip (about 9 hours) made exploring effortless and deeply enriching. Elza was simply outstanding—friendly and an absolute wealth of knowledge about local history and Faroese culture. We stopped for a delicious salmon lunch at a beautiful historical cafe. Cruising through the sub- sea tunnels and winding mountain roads while listening to captivating stories made the day fly by. If you want a stress-free journey into the heart of Faroe islands with a top-notch guide, look no further. Highly recommended!

Absolutely wonderful experience - fantastic enjoyable guide and charming driver. Worth the cost, as getting a private vehicle onto the island is iffy - ferry capacity is limited - and the public transit bus was clearly crowded. It was nice to not be at the mercy of the bus schedule, our tour was a nice relaxed pace. Our tour vehicle made its stops when the regular bus was somewhere else, so we weren't in the crowd. Also nice to have the ferry logistics handled for us.
We are in our early seventies and found the climb challenging - but made it all the way, and it was worth it. Our guide was very respectful with our pace, we were a bit slow going up, lots of pauses to catch our breath. The younger members of the group had no difficulty. The path is seeing lots of improvement with drainage and gravel surfacing so fairly easy to walk. A steady climb going up however. At the top, the view is spectacular, well worth the effort, but one has to be careful as the top is very narrow and high.
Only disappointment - a minor one - the ferry doesn't have much outdoor standing or window space for passengers, the view on the ferry ride was very limited. Didn't get many pictures on the ferry portion.
Glad we bought the tour, learned a lot from our guide, a great day trip.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Jens Petur is an incredibly experienced and knowledgeable guide. His deep understanding of Faroese history is truly impressive. Even though the weather wasn't on our side, listening to his fascinating stories made the experience completely worthwhile. Highly recommended!

This is such a great way to view the islands up close. Would recommend!

Credo sia stata l’escursione più bella di tutto il paese! La nostra guida Anna Sofia è stata perfetta, gentile, disponibile e super preparata! Incredibile posto, non esitate a prenotare.

From the car rental, to the hotel check-in, to the sea arch boat tour, everything went as smoothly as possible.
I added a few days outside of the capital myself, and even working that in the middle of the schedule with Høgni was a piece of cake!
Flexible, quick to reply, helpful, simple... The team made this trip absolutely stress-free, which left me able to enjoy the amazing scenery of the country!

I would include this as a must-do in the Faroe Island, even though our travel schedule put us outside prime birding season. There is just no other way to see this iconic scenery, and it shouldn't be missed.

The weather looked iffy, but they put us at ease with good, timely communication about what might happen if the seas were too rough. We were able to complete they planned tour, and we always felt safe because of their caution.

Every person we were in contact with was friendly and gracious. The captain took time to chat with us, and we didn't feel like we were imposing at all. The person who processed our ticket and served us some coffee was especially delightful.

Truly a highlight of our visit.

In August 2026, my husband and I took the “Elsa” Bus Tour of the Faroe Islands. Elsa made the experience truly memorable. She made everyone in the group feel comfortable, welcome and connected throughout the tour. Her explanations of the Island’s history were informative and engaging. We learned so much about the culture and way of life in the Faroe Islands.

I enjoyed her style, professionalism and genuine care for everyone on the tour.

Thank you Elsa for helping us create wonderful memories. The Faroe Islands are majestic and your guidance made the experience even more special. Take care.

Simply wow scenery. Fantastic tour (on a sunny day) with an excellent guide (Jasper, from DK but passionate and well versed about his adoptive country FO). Discrete, thoughtful for diversity of the team members, well organized, timely.
Local minibus taking you on an almost private tour, patient and colourful local driver (Magnus).
Very practical as including all costs and a great alternative to having to get a car place on the ferry (very hard to find if you want last minute time flexibility in function of the weather conditions ), to drive on small roads and to park. Also, excellent service and responsiveness from company. Will go again !

Our guide, Elsa, was energetic, highly dependable, and absolutely wonderful.
I joined this tour alone, and there were seven of us in total.
Since I was traveling solo and not confident in my driving, I didn't rent a car, so it was super convenient to cover the highlights of the Faroe Islands all at once. The lunch at the cafe we stopped at was also delicious, making it a wonderful memory.

It was so convenient because it included the ferry, transportation on Kalsoy, and the hike.
If round-trip transport from Tórshavn could be added as an option, it would be perfect.

I enjoyed a 10-person tour with Elsa Maria. Though the group was a bit larger than promised in the description, it was a well-planned tour that exceeded expectations. We received about 9 hours of sightseeing in all across 3 islands, and she made stops beyond the promised sites for good views. She provided invaluable local expertise and insights on Faroese history and culture.

This was magic! Susanna is delightful, friendly, helpful and so generous with her time, and such a wonderful calm person to spend time with. I picked up some very useful tips on knitting and listened with great interest to Susanna's stories and her personal history. She is a remarkable and wonderful person, and makes delicious crumble!

Great tour! I traveled solo and booked 3 day trips, two of them guided by Jens Petur who was knowdgeable and pleasant. Faroe Islands views are indeed jaw dropping and I got to see so many fantastic sites within several hours without having to drive and navigate. The only downside is the expensive price, but then, everything is expensive in the Faroe Islands. Highly recommend this tour
