Welcome to Faroe Islands

I took this tour on my first day in the Faroes. It was a nice way to get oriented to the city and to hear about the culture and history. Our guide was informative and answered all our questions. I found that it was a nice start to my four days on the islands and I was able to clarify questions I had about driving or other things I had read before getting to far into my trip. I would recommend as a good intro into the Faroes.

This tour was wonderful. The men who helped us on and off the boats and the boat captain were all very helpful and very kind. The weather was a windy and the seas were a little rough on our tour, but the gentlemen were excellent with helping us navigate the landings and keeping everyone safe on land. I suffer from motion sickness but had no issues with this tour. The inlet waters didn't bother me and the boat ride was less than 15 minutes. Even with choppy seas I did okay, so I hope that helps others who might have reservations about it. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see the sea arch from the land (great picture opportunities from many different viewpoints) and the sea. We were able to drive through the arch and around the bottom of the cliff on our tour.

This tour was excellent. The guide met us right at the ferry and was very helpful and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the different islands and the culture of the Faroes. The bus was comfortable and the drive was scenic. The hike was very enjoyable, and we had wonderful views all along the way. The pace of the hike was manageable for myself (43 year old) and my mother (71 year old), and there was plenty of time at the lighthouse for walking around and exploring. It was a very easy and enjoyable day.

Very nice guy, good tour, good explanation. Room to ask questions. I don't drink that much alcohol and I never tried wodka. But I really liked the story behind the subsea wodka and it tastes amazing! You can buy the drinks also if you book a tour, else you are not allowed by law.

The views of the sea stacks were spectacular. The two guides were both exceptional. They provided a lot of local knowledge and as a result it was a pleasure to walk with them. They both emphasized safety near the cliffs and ensured that all of the group was able to do the hike.

Hans transformed a regular airport transfer from Vagar to Torshavn into a scenic and informative sightseeing excursion regarding culture, geography, economy and history. On time, friendly and polite. Modern and comfortable car. Highly recommendable

Great guides and great tour! Really interesting facts and good when the boat goes fast.

Very good tour with a really great dog and friendly guides. Very considerate for those with sore knees!

Great tour! The weather was, well, typical for the Faroe Islands but Elsa Maria’s energy made up for it. Understandably, most of the time was spent in the car, enjoying pristine nature through the window and listening to Elsa Maria’s stories. Besides quick photo stops, there were a few stops where we walked around (if I remember correctly, Gjógv, Tjørnuvík, Saksun, Gásadalur (to the waterfall) and the visit to the café for lunch). The tour finished around 15:30 in Gásadalur, meaning that, if you go back to Tórshavn with the tour group, it will be around 16:30. My favourites were Saksun and the Faroese lunch.

Well, we paid for a the Mykines boat tour, but due to high surf, the captain decided it wasn’t safe to go there. Hey, I get it; safety first. Instead we tooled around the bay for a little over an hour as he took us to Mulafossa falls and Draginar, but the weather did not cooperate with us and fogged in most of the impressive sights. Can’t control the weather! We only saw a couple puffins in the water from a distance. To me, it wasn’t worth the money we paid to take myself and two daughters on this boat ride. My daughters had fun and that’s all that counts, right? You win some, you lose some.

Wow! Where do you even begin describing this experience? An incredible day jam packed with action from start to finish. An amazing boat ride out to Mykines followed by a wonderful tour around the entire island by Kathleen, who is super knowledgeable, kind and friendly. She shared with us many amazing stories and facts about the island and took us around the main little village and then on a hike around the island, not to mention the lovely packed lunch and soup you get. You'll want to take photos at every step, it is such a beautiful and picturesque place. Unfortunately on the specific day we were there it was a bit windy and still a bit cold so the puffins didn't want to show themselves (we did see a group sitting in the water quite a bit away) but otherwise it was spectacular views and a real feeling of freedom in the middle of nowhere in the Atlantic. A truly unique and special experience. I hope to be able to come back one day!

Fantastic tour! Harry was a champ and still took me out on what turned out to be a private tour as the other people who were supposed to come cancelled. We saw all the main attractions, got close to puffins, and even showed me a couple of his favourite spots and allowed me to have time to photograph and film everything. Super knowledgeable about the Faroese traditions, lifestyle and everything that happens there. 10/10 would recommend!

This tour was perfect for my husband and myself as a way to see the beauty of the islands up close by hiking along trails, walking in towns and paths, traveling by ferry to out of the way destinations, and especially, getting to know the people through the conversations with our guides.
Having the details of our stay planned by the tour company worked seamlessly and gave us the time to relax and not worry about transportation or lodging. We were well taken care of by our guides who worked to customize our days as much as possible.
We fell in love with the pristine, natural beauty of the islands and the warm pride of the residents.
We highly recommend this tour.

This 3-day tour was fantastic and the Faroe Islands are even more beautiful in person. The company was very responsive and accommodating. We booked an AirBnB in town and they picked us up there each morning instead of designated hotels. The company they used for pick up and drop off at airport were so friendly. We ended up doing 2 of 3 tours only as we decided to stay in town one day to shop, explore and visit all the cafes. I highly recommend. Some suggestions would be a mic on the tour van as you can’t hear tour information if you are not in front seat next to guide and sandwich choices for lunch. I did get a vegetarian on day two but that was happenstance. For tourists, if you are selecting a hotel you should go with Hotel Hafnia or another located right in town. We picked up some other travelers, and while it was not too far, they were definitely not central. You should also be prepared for the hike to lake above the ocean (I think that’s what it’s called). It’s 45 minutes in and 45 out minimum (with changing weather, so bring layers) and that doesn’t include the cliff part where you actually see the optical illusion. I didn’t hike the cliff because of the wind. Thanks again for a great trip!

We had a great time! Everyone was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
