It was a cold and rainy evening for the tour; Jens kept us moving so I could learn and see the sights of the city. I enjoyed learning the history of Torshavn and about the present government of the Faroe Islands. I enjoyed Jens’s ability to share stories as we walked on streets through the past. I recommend this tour to get acquainted with Torshavn. Thank you Jens.

We were unable to get to our original walking tour time and Jens very generously met us at another time and gave us a wonderful walking tour of Torshavn. He was very knowledgeable and very nice and we really enjoyed the tour and meeting Jens. We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone visiting the Faroe islands .
