Geweldige tour met deze touroperator. Alles van te voren goed en duidelijk via de email ontvangen en het klopte allemaal.
Boottocht is zeer aan te raden want je hebt echt een heel andere beleving vanaf het water dan als je op het land bent.
Tijdens de boottocht werd er ook waar nodig informatie verstrekt door de kapitein.
Al met al een aanbeveling waard.

This was an amazing tour in every way. Our tour guide/driver Ove was funny, informative and very accommodating, doing everything he could to make the day a memorable experience for our group of 6. The weather was overcast, but it did not rain until we were close to the end and coming back. Amazing and very worthwhile. We loved the Faroe Islands!

The tour was a really great experience where you get the chance to visit many gorgeous places across Faroe islands, which might not be in your to-go list before. Jens is a really nice and funny guide and gave us a lot of introduction along the way.
It's highly recommend.

Jens is a human encyclopedia. The best city tour ever! He had an answer to every question and we had very stimulating discussions. Simply top-notch.

OK, you can't really "see it all" in only one day, but you get to see a ton! Everyone says you need a car to explore the islands and while I see how it is probably easiest to have your own car, those who don't have one can gain a lot from this one day excursion. For those who do have a car, book this early on in your trip so you can figure out where else you want to go and where you might want to return on your own. The tour guide, whose family has lived in the Faroe Islands going back many generations, was incredibly knowledgeable and is a wonderful resource. Highly recommended!

The trip to Mykines was cancelled twice. Once because of swell waves and another one because of the weather. And we could not be happier about it. We were offered two alternatives and we took a visit to the islet of Tindhólmur, and we could not be happier.

The personnel (and I am very sorry but I cannot remember the name of our guide) was very helpful, attentive, informative, and and assertive to get us to see so much wildlife (lots of puffins are nesting in that islet, and so many other birds there and other islets around Tindhólmur) without disturbing them at this delicate point.

The wind and the rain was hitting us hard, and the way back was not a piece of cake (but at least wasn't the 30 minutes it takes to come back from Mykines, as they told us) and I still would do it again all together. Thank you so much for helping us creating so many memories!

Although seeing everything is impossible no matter the country, we managed to explore Faroe Islands in a way that I completely did not expect. I booked this trip for Saksun only yet she brought us to most spectacular viewpoint of my entire six days stay, allowed us to behold unique cloud formations, kept us entertained with her energeting demeanor and engaging storytelling. Good driving, approachibility - I could ask any questions, socialize among others. Then she brought us to the restaurant which price-wise was not as insane as restaurants in Thorshavn - moreover it was spacious, amazing soup, salmon and dessert. Meeting the owner was also cool.

I had an amazing experience on my tour of the Faroe Islands, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, Jens Peturs.
He was perfectly punctual at pickup and incredibly kind and engaging throughout the entire 8-hour tour. His explanations were informative yet never overwhelming—quite the opposite, actually. He shared so many interesting details that kept the tour dynamic and enjoyable from start to finish.
It was clear how much he loves his country, and his deep knowledge of the islands really enriched the experience. We were also a very small group (just three guests), which made everything feel more personal and allowed for great interaction and conversation with Jens.
I’m truly grateful to him for such a beautiful and memorable experience exploring the Faroe Islands. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

We had a lovely day exploring the Faroe Islands! Elsa was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable of the Islands and their history. The trip takes in many miles but there were frequent stops where we could get out, stretch our legs and admire the scenery. We also stopped at a really nice restaurant for lunch which was in a lovely spot. Following the trip Elsa sent out a video of the route with photos from the day which was very interesting and a great souvenir of the trip.

Do it if you have the chance.

As always with the weather in the Faroes (the one you can see and feel, and how the sea works) you have to adapt and take what you can. Luckily enough, Faroe is a country where everywhere is worth visiting. We were lucky enough to see all those cliffs full of life with the nesting birds (lots of guillemot, fulmars and many others), the sheep and lambs choosing patches of grass in impossible locations.

I expected more. I saw the same hills: actually the same as from my car, difference just to see them from water. It was 2 short 3 minutes stops near cliffs. I was sitting outside the boat, captain’s microphone was so poor, that i could not understand any word what he wanted to say during his 30 seconds explanation . I may suggest: avoid this attraction and spend time visiting by car other locations

I appreciate the efforts the hosts Jens and Rigmor spent preparing an authentic Faroese dinner with a variety of plates: seafood soup, whale meat, breaded cods, fish balls, deserts, potatoes. All are of local produce. They are knowledgeable and told us numerous information about Faroe Island, which I found interesting e.g the rare genetic diseases quite unique in the Faroe Islands and the path of students in Faroe Island pursuing their college in Faroe Island or Denmark. They deserve a great applause.

We enjoyed the time spent with Selma and Tordur. Food is delicious. They told us their own story so that we understand how life is in Faroe Island. I was deeply impressed by their upkeeping the tradition of Faroe Island, which was continued for generations e.g. wearing traditional costumes at national days, Selma and her daughters continue to do knitting. They have strong family ties and most people are still attending church. My warmest thanks.

What a fantastic experience!

The guides were excellent; they provided plenty of information—not too much, not too little, but just right—and pointed out things we hadn't noticed yet.

There was no rush; we had all the time to take in the beautiful scenery.

The music the skippers played occasionally enhanced the experience.

Afterwards, we felt like we were 'hypnotized' 😀; it took a while for us to come back down to earth.

We definitely recommend this trip. Seeing an island from the water provides a completely different experience.

This 8 days self guided tour was perfect for us. We were able to tour the islands at our own pace. Thanks to Hogni, he met us in the hotel on our first day and indicated our recommended itinerary with a map guide. We followed this itinerary and we really enjoyed every minute of our tour. In addition, the weather cooperated, we brought the sun with us on this whole trip. Saw a lot of puffins in Mykines island, waterfalls everywhere, experienced undersea tunnels with turnabouts, each towns we visited have different charms we loved etc. I didn't have to stress on planning this trip as I do in our other trips because everything was booked by Hogni. Faroe Island is beautiful and it should be in everybody's bucket list to visit. And the Spa house was incredible also, stayed in the hot pools and saunas for hours overlooking Torshavn city. Too bad, I wasn't able to take pictures inside. Hogni booked it at the end of our tour which we really needed after all the hikes we did. I recommend this tour to everyone.
