It was absolutely amazing!! We saw so much and Elsa was an incredible guide. I had the best day.
Gill Richards –
Elsa Maria is a first class guide with an engaging, lively personality. She is also thoughtful and very obliging – stopping so we could ‘take a quick photo’ as frequently as we wished.
We loved our tour. Her English is so good she could joke with us – a sign of her mastery of the language.
She had thought out the route carefully with two coffee breaks (plus chocolate biscuits!) morning and afternoon provided by her, water and plenty of loo breaks. She chose a lovely place for lunch too.
Elsa Maria’s knowledge is outstanding and she was able to tell us saga stories at the different stops but also answer cultural questions, geological questions, questions about the bird life and add her own personal experiences of travelling to stay with her grandmother as a little girl, life then, and the house where she was born.
Consequently the tour lasted far longer than billed (2 hours more) and we felt we got a real feel and knowledge of the islands and the people.
The icing on the cake was to be sent the video of our trip with the map of the stops so we knew where we had been because our photos do not have that.
A totally brilliant day!
Rose Liew –

First class trip. A big thank you to Elsa-Maria for giving an unforgettable day!
Aikaterini Tagara –
It was an amazing tour with spectacular views and great guide. We had a really great time!
Rohit Bagchi –
The tour with Elsa Maria where you see the highlights in 7 hours was my favourite and best of all. A lot of sightseeing and for the price was really worth it. 5+ out of 5 stars 😉
Diana Kusnere –
She is fabulous. No words can actually describe, how brilliant she is. Not only as a guide, who shows You must have places, but as a person. (the whole airplane was afterwords jealous to us for having Elsa Maria`s packed lunch)

Un tour muy recomendable, Maria la anfitriona es en extremo amable muy conocedora de la isla y con una gran disposición. Permite conocer en detalle los lugares mas representativos de la isla, junto con historias locales .
A highly recommended tour, Maria the hostess is extremely friendly, very knowledgeable about the island and with a great disposition. It allows to know in detail the most representative places of the island, along with local stories.
Cat Dancausse –
I just wanted to reach out and say I had a wonderful time on my tour with Elsa yesterday. She was not only hilarious and a great story teller, but also a wonderful tour guide. She took us to all the best spots and got wonderful pictures of us. If I ever return one day, I will definitely be coming back to y’all for a tour.
Thank you so much!
Simon Halink –
On Wednesday last week, me and my friend did your 7-hour ‘See it all’ sight-seeing trip, in what can be described as not the very best of weather conditions. Our guide, Elsa Maria, was simply amazing. Her enthusiasm and love for her work were contagious, and her stories about all sorts of different aspects of Faroese life, nature and culture truly made this an unforgettable day. She was very flexible and made sure that the experience was as enjoyable as possible for everyone, even supplying those who did not have any rain gear with them with the necessary outfit. Getting to taste the local delicacies of the Islands, which she brought for all of us, really made our day. Highly recommended!
Stefan Paunov –
I went to the 7 hour Faroe Islands tour on Sunday 22 May.
The tour guide Elsa is a lot of fun. The trip is a great opportunity for visitors who are staying in the Faroe Islands just for a few days and don’t have a car as it covers all the major places of interest in just one day. A very nice experience. If you order a packed lunch, you can expect some local delicacies and traditional foods.
Ciaran McDonough –
I had a simply fantastic day with Elsa Maria during our tour on the 18th May. She knows so much about her home and her enthusiasm about sharing this knowledge with visitors shone through. We saw some simply amazing things and, even though the weather was at times rough, it was a super day. I thought it was a brilliant idea that Elsa Maria also took photos and shared them with us. I haven’t laughed that much in a long time – she really is a treasure!
Christina Esmann Fonvig –
Fantastisk rundtur på Færøerne med Elsa Maria som suveræn guide! Vi vil varmt anbefale denne tur til alle der gerne vil se en lang række historiske og fantastiske smukke steder på Færøerne. Denne tur oversteg langt alle vores forventninger med en nærværende og fortællelysten lokal guide, der ikke sparede på sin viden om lokal færøsk historie og gamle sagaer. Frokosten, som tilkøbsmulighed, var en kulinarisk oplevelse i færøiske gastronomiske traditioner. En sand fornøjelse fra start til slut. Og som bonus tilsendte Elsa Maria os en video med højdepunkter fra turen kædet sammen med en animeret rute inklusiv navne på seværdighederne – den perfekt souvenir. Snyd ikke jer selv for denne ekstraordinære oplevelse!

I was fortunate enough to attend a “See It All” tour with Elsa Maria on 14th May 2022. The tour was superb, and must have taken us past pretty much everywhere in the Faroe Islands that doesn’t require a boat to visit. As well as the epic scenery (waterfalls, cliffs, mountains and fjords), we visited villages (Saksun was my favourite), spotted island bird life (puffins, black guillemot) and tried the local cuisine, both on the road and in a charming restaurant.
Elsa Maria was an excellent guide, full of information covering natural history, culture, history and politics, and she came prepared with an array of snacks and drinks to keep the group going.
I can certainly recommend this tour on a visit to the Faroe Islands.
Tania Riccio –
The tour was just amazing.
Elsa Maria has been an incredible guide and shared many stories and information about the places we visited and in general about Faroese culture. She also prepared a delicious lunch package with some Faroese specialties. It was a great tour and we definitely recommend it!

Sanne Joosen –
We had a wonderfull time with Elsa! She showed us every must see destination on our faroese bucketlist 🙂 We could step out the car at any time for taking nice pictures and got a lot of interesting information.
The local snacks that she brought were also much appreciated. Go and book this tour, you won’t regret it.

Michelle Newcombe –
I cannot rate this highly enough. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!
The tour lasted 7.5 hours (after she had checked with the 3 of us involved if going over the 7 hours would be okay). We did a 250km round trip stopping at so many points of outstanding natural beauty. Elsa Marie is extremely knowledgeable and so we gained a huge insight into the history and culture of the Faroe Islands. She is very personable, friendly and thoughtful. She came equipped with tea, coffee, water and snacks as well as spare waterproofs for us. She also made sure we had sufficient comfort breaks. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her.
Elsa Marie said that she would send us photos and videos of the trip afterwards and we received that very promptly after the tour. However this was not just an ordinary e-mail with videos and photos attached. She had used the relive app and we received a wonderful memento, plotting our journey along a maps with all the stops we made along with accompanying photos and videos highlighted at the relevant stops along the way. Absolutely first class service.
I cannot thank Elsa Marie enough for making the whole day such a wonderful and enjoyable trip. I highly recommend this to others. She goes over and beyond any tour guide I have ever been with.
Thank you so much Elsa Marie. I loved every minute of the trip!
Ove Guddal –
This trip was outstanding! We were on the road for almost 8,5 hours (1 and a1/2 hour more than planned) but time just flew by and we had a great time. Elsa Maria is a lady (with big L) who realy sets the standard, she has a great personality, has a clever sense of humor, and she realy knows how to treat her customers / travellers. She proudly present her island, and what it has to offer, and she rightly do so! Would recommend this trip for everyone, and especially if you are at Faroe Island for just a short periode of time.
Elin Ibsen Gustavsen –
Highly recommend trip that covers a huge array of breathtaking sights. Elsa Marie is the perfect guide; knowledgeable, pleasant and brings that extra personal touch to the experience. Would recommend to everyone visiting the Faroe Islands!
Sandra Marin –
Everything was excellent, the timing and the stops were very nice, we got to see much more than I expected. I enjoyed knowing the history of the different places very much and the stories associated to some of them. Great tea and chocolate to warm themselves from the wind.
Anne-Marie –
a wonderful trip. Beautiful wild landscapes. A big thank you to our guide elsa maria who is a warm storyteller full of humor and kindness. Thank you very much for sharing the story of the Faroe isle.
Laure Martinez –
I just wanted to highlight the warm welcome and magnificent experience I had doing this tour with Elsa Maria.
For sure the country is beautiful, but this guide loves her country and makes every stone alive!
Thanks again to her!
Ann Kristin Larsen –
Vi var med på en flott tur med Elsa Maria. En hel dag rundt på flere øyer på Færøyene. Elsa Maria er blid, vennlig og ikke minst svært kunnskapsrik. Vi vil anbefale en dag med henne for alle som besøker Færøyene.
Nina Pfaff –
I just wanted to write and tell how much me and my daughter enjoyed “The Full-Day Faroe Islands Tour” we did on April 30th with Elsa Maria and Jens Petir.
Me and my daughter spent three full days on the Faroe Islands last April and on one of the days we booked “The Full-Day Faroe Islands Tour”. And what a full day it was. We saw so much of the Faroe Islands we would not had time to see on our own. Elsa Maria, our guide, did an amazing job of showing us the beautiful nature and views of different villages. At the same time she told us facts, history and stories of the different places or/and the Faroe Islands. She made us very comfortable and included in the group of 10 together (from different parts of the world) The ones that ordered lunch got to taste some traditional Faroe Islands food and drink. After a full day of fantastic impressions we felt like we knew the Faroe Islands a little better and liked it all.
I would very much recommend the tour
Peter Christiansen –
We had four full days at the Faroe Islands in April. As we had only this short time on the islands, we choose the “Gorgeous 7 Hour Faroe Islands Sightseeing Tour” from Guide to Faroe Islands, in order to see as much as possible. As a further benefit to all the places included, we got all the local facts, stories and folklore from our amazing guide. She showed us three islands, several villages and scenic landscapes on 250 km of driving on a day packed with experiences. From Gjógv with Princess Mary’s bench, sheep, the worlds maybe smallest local museum and lots of local facts to Gásadalur with a beautiful waterfall. Visits to a surfers beach, local houses, a bridge spanning the Atlantic Ocean, an underwater round-about and a wonderful lunch in Sandvágur. Our guide was great company for the full seven hours and we learned so much of her. She also told a lot about her own and her family’s history of the Faroe Islands. Great value for money!
Pontus Tallberg –
Jag kan rekommendera att ta denna tur som jag med familj gjorde. Vi fick uppleva och se stor del av öarna på ett sätt vi inte klarat på egen hand. Information och guidning suveränt genomfört.
Rolf Speckgens –
Thank you for the nice pics and for the fantastic tour we made together with Rose and Andreas on tuesday.
You are a great personality and fabulous guide!
Thank you so much.
Andrea Molia –
I really enjoyed the tour of Elsa Maria! I would recommend it to everyone!
Carine Vlaminck –
We drove the tour around Streymoy, Eysturoy and Vágoy. Our guide and driver was Elsa Maria. This is a tour I can recommend to everyone.
If it is your first time in the Faroe Islands; you really get a very nice overview of the 3 main islands. If you have been here already several times, Elsa Maria knows where to find some unique and hidden spots for you to discover. Although we had a typical Faroese weather e.g very windy, rainy and cloudy, we really enjoyed the magnificent and stunning scenery. We learned a lot from Els Maria and enjoyed her personal stories about what life is all about here very much. The unexpected Faroese lunch was a great bonus.
A Top Tour with a Top Guide.
Carine & Peter

My wife and I booked a trip on April 30, 2022 with Elsa Maria and Jens Petir to spend a day driving to the islands of Streymoy, Eysturoy and Vágoy, and we feel as if we made a very lucky choice: they are fantastic hosts and guides, and we had a wonderful day!
We learned so much about the history and culture of the Faroes while visiting some spectacularly beautiful natural wonders, and Jens Petir’s and Elsa Maria’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and organization made for a day very well spent. We also very much enjoyed the additional opportunity to partake of some typical Faroese foods, prepared, explained, and presented by Elsa Maria.
We could not have asked for a better way to get to know some of the Faroe Islands in such a short time, and we’ll certainly recommend this tour to our friends and acquaintances. From start to finish, the tour was well-organized, and our hosts were friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic!
Ayesha Al Faheem –
The beautiful views of the Faroe Islands coupled with the stories and history from a locals perspective was an incredible experience to say the least. Elsa (my guide) was easy going, knowledgable and had a great sense of humour. I got to see so much of the Faroe Islands in one day without feeling rushed since the tour was efficiently planned.
Would highly recommend this tour where you will not only have photographs to remember but great conversation, laughs and knowledge of the Faroese culture and their history.
Thank you!
Katie Ruch –
We are so grateful that we took the leap and went on a tour with Elsa. She was a fantastic tour guide and showed us sites that we would not have found. She is so passionate about her island, and she is an incredible storyteller. We messaged her before the tour requesting to find a place to eat, and she was super accommodating. She took us to the best cafe with amazing fish soup. I highly recommend it! We were also interested in finding a scenic hike, and she offered to add it onto our tour. We are so grateful we took her up on this offer because she took us on a great hike to the Lake above the Sea. Again, there is now way we would have found this without her. Driving in the Faroe Islands is not simple, so we were grateful to be riding in Elsa’s van as she mastered the roads perfectly. Do not be deterred by the price. It is definitely worth it!
Borgny –
It was such a fun day and left us with fond memory of Faroe Islands and our tour guide 🙂 Elsa Maria is a knowledgeable, professional, smart and considerate tour guide with a great sense of humour. She picked us up on time from the hotel and followed the route as described in the tour information. On the way she told us the history, geography, people, religion, economy and a little gossip of Faroe Islands. She served us homemade dried whalemeat and other tastes from te Faroe Islands, with a little snaps on the way. 🙂 Elsa Maria is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever met and I recommend her to tourists coming to the Islands in the future. We enjoyed every minute of the trip, and hope to see here on our next trip to The Faroe Island.
Tina Gulbrant Koltze –
Vores “mor/datter”-tur til Færøerne i april blev krydret med en fantastisk dag sammen med Elsa Maria rundt på øerne. Der var god stemning fra morgenstunden – luksus at blive hentet på hotellet og skøn bil! Der var rigelig tid til at få anekdoterne med indimellem fotografering og fantastiske udsigter… Også under jorden, hvor vi lige var et par gange rundt i den store Østerø-rundkørsel 😀 Vi blev beriget med frokost (og en snaps), historier om det færøske samfunds udvikling inden for vores levetid, besøg i bygder og storslåede scenarier… Da vi blev sat af ved vores hotel, var vi fyldt op af en fantastisk oplevelse sammen med Elsa Maria. Sjovt, at der så også var familietråde til vores hjemby og at vi havde fælles bekendte hen over Altanten… Tak for dagen, Elsa Marie!

Lena Sauer –
Tak kære Elsa Marie for din fantastiske tur rundt på øerne i Nordatlanten .
Du forstod på hele turen at fortælle anekdoter / historie , sagn etc., som bare var underholdning på højt niveau 😆
Alle som var med på turen blev hurtigt rystet sammen, humøret var højt, og vejret var jo helt i top 🌞
Denne tur kan STÆRT anbefales hvis man vil på en spændende rundtur med tilhørende historie om Færøernes lange eksistens, som er forrygende gammel.
Elsa Marie havde også medbragt spændene spise og drikke specialiteter som blev nydt med stort velbehag.
Hanne Faurholt –
Jeg vil rigtig gerne rose den fantastiske tur jeg var på i tirsdags.
Vores guide var Elsa Maria og jeg skal lige love for at stemningen var super dejlig fra første minut.
Elsa Maria var med til at skabe den gode stemning og har en levende måde at fortælle om alle de ting vi skulle opleve. En kæmpe viden og lokalkendskab.
Kanon fotograf så vi fik dejlige billeder med os selv på.
Vil helt klart anbefale hende/jer til andre som vil til Færøerne. 🇫🇴🇫🇴
De bedste hilsener

Lars Fritzell –
We loved the sightseeing and our guide. Jens Peter told us about the industri as well as the history of Faroe Islands.
And he served good and warming coffee as well.
Fritz Grone –
What an outstanding experience…. precisely as announced but than even far better then expected :-). Elsa Maria gave us insights in her country, nature, history, culture in an easygoing and entertaining way, conscientiously took care of our physical well-being and provided us with coffee, tea and sweets. She even had arranged for good weather to make our tour as fantastic as possible. Thank you Elsa Maria, I will recommend your tour to everybody who is asking 👍 and hope you will take me around and show me beautiful Færøerne again, the next time I´ll come.
Anne Robering –
It was an incredibly nice tour with Elsa Maria. She answered all our questions and gave a lot of interesting background information. The places we visited were absolute highlights and all that in fantastic weather. Thank you dear Elsa, I will gladly come back to the Faroe Islands and book a tour with you again!
Marion van Loon –
Jens gave me a super nice day during this trip. The day without rush, at a relaxed pace along many highlights of the beautiful Faroe Islands.
The tour is really recommended!
Anna Ward –
My two friends and I went on the 7 hour day trip of the Faroe Islands with Elsa Maria, and we had a great time! Elsa promptly picked us up and we began the adventure. She told us many interesting legends of the islands, explained the economy and popular industries, detailed the history of the islands, and discussed topics about the tradition of whaling. We learned so much while laughing, drinking coffee and enjoying sweet treats. I couldn’t recommend this tour more, and you HAVE to do it with Elsa. She is the best!
Thanks so much
Rama Jutglar –
Truly amazing tour. Jens, our guide, was super friendly. He spoke perfect english and made the trip very interesting. he was telling us some interesting facts all the time and everywhere we drove by. Altough we saw a lot of places in 7 hours, it didn’t feel rushed, and we had the time we needed to see end enjoy the interesting places. He would do stops next to the road if we wanted to take pictures, he prepared us nice sandwiches made with local fish, he took photos from us… we were only 2 people on the tour so it felt really private. I would 100% recommend if you are tight on time in the faroes. I have to come back in sumer!
Anthony Carlile –
My experience with Elsa was fantastic thank you. Her tour was a lot of fun and I had a great day.
Simon Lees –
Thank you so much for a really great trip. A really excellent day.
Shon and Alla –
We had a wonderful time with Elsa Marie. She was knowledgeable, kind, and went out of her way so we could see everything that we wanted. We’re sure we wouldn’t have been able to get the traditional lunch anywhere else! The pictures and videos she took and sent to us were gorgeous, and we couldn’t have been happier we chose her and Guide to Faroe Islands for our adventure through the Faroe Islands!
Ronald Sultana –
Just had the 7 hour day tour with Elsa Maria… and enjoyed every minute of it. For once a tour guide who clearly loves what she is doing, and is friendly and comfortable with people. She knows all the right spots where to stop, and all the stories about places and people, past and present, that help give an insight into this wonderful country. She even thought of bringing coffee and some snacks with her, which were especially welcome on a rather cold day. Her driving was safe and steady throughout the whole journey. Very happy to recommend Elsa Maria
Clara –
I’ve have enjoyed a lot this guide tour. Every place Elsa Maria, the guide, took me was just incredible. I had to see it all and it was everything I expected it to be, even better. The weather was good even though it’s still winter. Elsa Maria explained me a lot about every spot and its history. I strongly recommend this experience, just unbelieveble!
Jennifer Steuber –
If you are visiting the Faroe Islands for any amount of time and you really want to see the breathtaking beauty of the Faroes completely worry-free and in comfort, this is the tour for you. This tour is truly outstanding. I felt like I really did “see it all”. Elsa made this guided tour the highlight of my vacation in the Faroe Islands. She went above and beyond to ensure that I received the most complete and comfortable experience possible. Her hospitality was exceptional. I saw and took photos of the best viewpoints and little villages. I was educated on just about every aspect of Faroese history and culture. I would never have been able to duplicate the quality of this experience if I attempted this level of sightseeing on my own. I could not imagine a better, more enjoyable way to see and learn this much on any of those “big bus” tours. Highly recommended, no matter how long your visit.
Krisna de Leon –
We had the most remarkable tour with Guide to Faroe Islands. Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance, that our tour guide, Mrs. Elsa Maria who truly cared about us, and did her best to make this trip memorable despite of bad weather (rainy & very windy). She was very knowledgeable & even offered recommendations of other things to do/see, and places to eat during trip. We definitely will be back!
Junhwan Jang –
To start with the conclusion, you may worry about the amount, but I can confidently say that this tour is worth it. Elsa Maria, who guides us, not only takes ordinary tourists to places that are difficult to go easily, but also explains the Faroe Islands in an easy-to-understand way. Thanks to her, we were able to have a very fruitful day and I think leaving a good review for her is the least reward.
한국 사람이구요, 이 투어가 솔직히 싼 금액은 아닐 수 있지만 가성비를 따졌을 때 그럴만한 가치가 충분히 있다고 생각합니다. 가이드분이 일단 굉장히 친절하시고 여러분들이 영어울렁증이 있더라도 잘 이해해주고 즐거운 하루를 보낼 수 있게 도와드릴거라 생각합니다. 이 투어를 하고나서 페로제도를 제대로 여행한 기분이 들었어요 일반적으로 가기 힘든 곳을 갈 수 있었고, 굉장히 만족했습니다 ㅋㅋㅋ 예약할 때 꼭 묵는 숙소 어딘지 적으세요 그러면 가이드분이 픽업하러 오실겁니다. 고민하실 미래의 한국분들을 위해 추천드립니데이~😎
