Our tour was absolutely perfect! The Faroe Islands are stunningly beautiful, and the Faroese people are ingenious, resourceful, and welcoming. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety while giving us the most extraordinary and magical experience! I just can’t say enough about how knowledgeable they are and what good care they took of us. The islands themselves are a breathtaking, natural treasure. The hikes to Kallur Lighthouse and Trælanípa & Bøsdalafossur Waterfall, as well as the trip to Mykines to see the puffins, were all truly amazing. We will go back as soon as we are able! Many thanks to the whole family!

This whole trip was planned and executed very well and professionally. Guide To Faroe Islands is a travel agency which arranged for everything except our flights and dinners. Our guides were friendly, informative, knowledgeable, and took very good care of us. But don’t set your expectations too high on the weather. Mykines, with its plentiful puffins, is a highlight of the tour. The ferry to Mykines was canceled on Wednesday due to high winds, so we did a culture and history tour instead, which was nice. They rebooked us for Saturday, and the ferry canceled again. We went to Vestmanna instead, which was spectacular. The day trips wisely alternated between hiking on one day, then sightseeing on the next day. We were booked at the Hilton Garden Inn, which is new, clean, and has a great breakfast. It is a 25 minute walk, or 100 DKK taxi, to Thorshavn’s historic town, where many restaurants are located. We were there in early August. I highly recommend this trip, and I’m glad we didn’t try to sightsee by ourselves. But be prepared for fog, rain, and wind.

Everything was perfect 🙂
Andreas, the guide, was very helpful, very well organized, and was able to apply “plan B” for the Mykines day (weather didn’t permitted us to go there by ferry)
I strongly recommend this tour, and Faroe in general. Great destination 🙂
Wiley Lisa –
Fabulous trip! Beautiful scenery, friendly people, knowledgeable guides. We highly recommend it.

I’ve had a fantastic time here at the Faroe Islands. Thank you for making everything so smooth and easy!

We’re very lucky to have good weather during our stay in Faroe. Our guide are very friendly. We love the people, landscape & food. I highly recommend the first time visitors to join this package tour.
We landed on Wednesday so missed the Mykines tour but the Guide to Faroe Islands team managed to book us on the following Monday with the same guide. Finally the ferry was cancelled whole last week. We’re so lucky that we could catch the ferry to Mykines on Monday with good weather. We took lots of pictures with Puffins. There are thousands of Puffins on Mykines.
We’re so impressed with the landscape with the hike in Kalsoy & floating lake. The weather was perfect during our hiking trips. Our last day tour to Streymoy & Eysturoy was raining but we still had fun to have homemade waffles and coffee in a local home with John & his mom. After the tour, John brought us to his mom’s house, his father had prepared some air-dried meat, fats, potatoes for us.
My husband and I will come back to see people and eat at KOKS when they return to their home in Faroe Islands.

We had the best time on this trip!! We have traveled to Iceland, Greenland and many other islands, but the Faroes was our favorite trip overall, largely due to our guided daily trips! Our guide made this adventure extra enjoyable. Instead of rigidly sticking to the planned itinerary, he watched the weather (moving days to hike when it was too wet), listened to what we wanted, and helped to meld that into an unforgettable experience! He shared his stories as a native and we learned a lot about the history and culture of the Faroese. We got lucky with the weather, and had plenty of clear days. The incredible coastal vistas we experienced on the islands we visited were unparalleled. It was the perfect mix of boat trips and hiking. Our hotel was very clean and we had a lovely view of the ocean from our room. We even got to take part in Culture Day in Torshavn! I would highly recommend the guide and will steer interested friends and family your way!

My tour was amazing! Had an amazing tour guide, he explained places so well and had so many stories to keep us entertained. The tour was well organized with a small group, enough to put all of us in a 7 seater van. It helped keep everyone together and was easier to get to know everyone. Both brothers were very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. I usually don’t like joining group tours, but they were so prepared and had so many snacks and drinks for us ready! I was totally taken aback. The whole tour was made so I could relax so well, I basically waited for the van everyday and it was adventure time!
I specifically picked this package because it could go to all of the islands and I loved it! I totally recommend it to anyone who decides to go to the Faroes. I did comparisons with other companies and this package has all and everything (just about!) you want to see. I still miss it and am already planning on when to go back!

I was extremely happy with the experience:) the tours were absolutely amazing, wonderful tourguide with such strong knowledge of the islands and the flexibility of adjusting the schedule on the basis of the weather was super helpful and worked out perfectly.
The selection of what to visit and variety of activities was stellar and needless to say the Faroe Islands are more than beautiful.
Hotel also great, liked the gym, breakfast, bar and room. Only thing was that the cleaning could have been a bit better. Staff was super friendly.

I loved every bit of this tour. I felt overwhelmed when planning my Faroe Islands holiday, until I found Guide to the Faroe Islands. Hogni planned everything perfectly for me, making sure I was able to see everything without a care in the world. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and made the experience a great one. Sad to be heading home.
