52 reviews for Classic 6 Day Summer Package of the Faroe Islands
Rated 5 out of 5
Birte and George Ayer –
We highly recommend The Classic 6 day Summer Package of The Faroe Islands. All the guides we met during the week were all very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and good company. The first day we met Johan and his mother Jona and A.J an employee .We did the long trek to the sea and the floating lake a small group of 10 . Difficulty easy, not so but we did it at 77 and 76 with a lot of help climbing the rock by the guides. The next 3 days we were guided by Hans the father and we just all loved him a true lover of his country , we saw gorges, waterfalls, mountains , tons of sheep the sheer rocks all stunningly beautiful.
We covered a lot of the islands. The 5th day we had the daughter Hansi as our guide another knowledgeable and fun person and all so very good drivers which you must be handling those narrow winding mountain roads.
Our trip to Mykines was cancelled due to extreme weather, but Johan found another day trip for us which was most informative and interesting with our guide Jens. This is a trip that I will not forget as I will remember the guides we met. Thank you so very much

My wife and I had a spectacular 6-day tour of these beautiful islands earlier this month. We book a tour for the 2 of us and were very lucky to have Tróndur as our private guide. Tróndur went above and beyond to show and explain his country to us. Even the smallest hint that we would like to see or try something triggered him to make sure we were able to do it. His responsiveness and professionalism (and the fact that he seems to know over half the population) made it possible for us to meet people and see sides of Faroese life that are not part of any guided tour. He was just amazing! Hogni did a great job in organizing the tour. All around , a 5+ starts trip!
