Welcome to Faroe Islands

We had an amazing time visiting the farm, enjoying excellent homemade traditional food and learning things about this beautigul Island. To sit down in the family home and share a meal and hearing stories and asking all the question you have about the culture was unforgettable! Thank you so much!

This is a perfect tour for your first day in the Faroe Islands, especially if you have limited time to visit. Elsa Maria brought us to several of the top sights in 3 islands and provided stories and insight about life on the islands. She also provided tea and coffee and snacks and made plenty of stops for comfort breaks. She had each party rotate seats in the van so everyone got a turn riding up front with the sweeping views. We had 8 participants on our tour day and luckily everyone truly wanted to see it all and didn’t want to risk missing anything if we ran overtime. Elsa Maria took pictures throughout the day and organized them into a video link that she shared with us. It was a nice way to see where all we’d been. She also took pictures of us on our cameras and knew some cool angles for trick shots (especially by the waterfall). We had a delicious lunch at the cafe (Fiska stykkid) which is a place we’d read about and had wanted to visit anyway. We saw beautiful scenery and animals (sheep, puffins, Highland cattle, Faroese horses) and had a truly wonderful day. We highly recommend Elsa Maria’s tour!

We were picked up in time from the Airport. Theodor took the advantage of good weather and made many stops on the way to our hotel allowing us to take lots of pictures of the beautiful landscape. He was very friendly and shared local knowledge of Faroe way of life. We really enjoyed our ride with him and won’t have seen soo many places on our own. I can highly recommend him. We were 1 adult and 2 kids. Thank you for welcoming us to your country. It is a great start!

Very interesting tour with a taste of some unique spirits, among them a high end gin and a vodka distilled with sub sea level water.

The planning and execution of this trip was very well done. Guide to Faroe Islands arranges the trip with local tour companies, sets up cab rides from/to the airport (if you choose that option), arranges hotels, ferries, and boat rides. This made the tour much easier to handle as they did the leg work.

My local tour company was a family-operated company, with multiple tour guides. Some days the guides were not very transparent about what would be occurring that day, which made it difficult to plan on what to wear, how long we'd be hiking, et al. We were given minimal information sometimes, and they have only one licensed professional tour guide, he was fantastic though. Other days the guides wouldn't tell us much about the history or points of interest without being prompted, and they were constantly on the phone (both unprofessional, and illegal). They were a very friendly family and guides, but some didn't communicate very well, it was basically like taking a taxi with a driver who didn't talk.

I chose this specific tour because we would see the major islands during the tour with little hassle for me, as Guide to Faroes set up everything. Overall I had a great trip and will definitely use Guide to Faroes to arrange my next trip there.
