    Really nice walk around Thorshavn. Not a hard walk – anyone can join. We tasted a lot of different foods and beverages, and heard stories about the people and shops that sold the goods. The guide was friendly and could answer all the questions asked by the members of our group. We were 5 people plus guide – from US, Sweden and Denmark. The tour guide spoke all theee languages, but we all stuck to English to make it easier for everyone. Fermented lamb, chocolate, newly baked cake and very good coffee was just some of the things we tried. As we walked, the guide told stories and answered questions. Time flew very quickly. Great fun and very recommendable.

    Highly recommend this fabulous tour by a husband and wife team – we enjoyed a mix of delicious local foods in places you wouldn’t think of trying. This was all interspersed with snippets of Faroese history and life by our knowledgeable guide – Expect a fair amount of walking over 3 hours, but it was all well paced and tailored to our group of mixed abilities. Make sure you are hungry, you won’t be by the end!! (and they coped very well with food allergies in their guests challenges)
