Petra and Olaf –
Hello, we had again a great day with Elsa Maria. It was our second stay on the spectular Islands. This time we explored Sandoy Island – through the new tunnel and than really the whole Island with a very tasty lunch with very friendly hosts.
We have learnt a lot of historie and heard Stories about living. Thank you and we will be back😀
Kay Fanslow –
Greatly enjoyed seeing the hidden spots and learning about so much local history. The engineering of the new tunnel was a marvel. Being invited into someone’s home for a home-cooked Faroese meal and chatting with the host and spouse over lunch made the day extra special. Glad I made the trip to scenic Sandoy .
Kristi McMorran –
This was a fantastic day tour of Sandoy. Our guide, Jens Petur, was so knowledgeable about Faroese history, culture, economics, religion, etc. and really made it all come alive as we visited ancient Viking settlements and current villages throughout the island. A highlight for our family was the heimablidni. Our hostess, Helga and her husband, warmly invited us into their home where we were treated to a delicious traditional Faroese meal.
On this tour, be prepared to see beautiful ocean vistas, sand beaches, ancient ruins and tidy villages. It is a 5+ star tour!
Eve Anni –
The Sandoy is an untouched and unspoiled island with a true Viking vibe all around. The tour of the picturesque coastal villages offered a very special counterbalance to the landscapes of the northern islands and included a unique opportunity to experience the local hospitality or the “heimablídni” over a delicious meal in a family home. The view from one of the beaches as the fog suddenly lifted revealing the smooth waters and a small ferry on its way to the neighboring island was magical.

My husband and I went on the Sandoy Full Day tour on June 11, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to the Faroe Islands. We highly recommend this trip to Sandoy Island, as it gives you a comprehensive view of the island. Our guide, Jens Petur, was a many-generational Faroe Islander who was extremely knowledgeable about the history and about what we should see and do. Included was a memorable lunch in the home of a local couple with home prepared food that is typical of Faroe Islands. This was a unique experience that most tourists are not able to experience and made this particular tour very special. The Lang’s – California, USA
Roger Garrett –
Great day with Jens Petur who made an impressive effort to make the tour as interesting and enjoyable as possible. Sandoy was different from the more northerly islands I’d seen in that the mountain slopes were less steep and the opportunities for farming were greater. Lots of stories concerning the cultural and social history of the island and great views, especially of the surrounding islands. The whole trip was a pleasure.
Erwin –
John was an excellent tour guide. He was very informative, full of stories about Faroese history and culture. He also had a wonderful singing voice. The lunch with a local couple, Budwar and Helga, was fantastic. They were very hospitable and typical of the friendliness of the Faroese people. I highly recommend this tour.
Kelly –
The day trip to Sandoy was fabulous despite the weather. Our guide was full of insightful info and stories and we saw some incredible sights. Lunch with the host family was delicious and fun, they were so welcoming!
A great day was had by all!
Jeffrey Dean –
Yeah, the lunch was spectacular. I’m glad that I didn’t have to book a separate tour for that. The tour guide sent me pictures afterwards.
Selina Schellenberg –
I did the Sandoy tour with Jens Petur. Best tour ever. He was so kind, patient and an expert on all matters. It was such a great pleasure; the local lunch in particular was simply amazing. I would do the tour over and over, again couldn’t have asked for a better one.
Roxana –
It is a very interesting tour, visiting ancient and traditional parts of the island. The lunch in the house of the Faroese family, with home made products adds intimacy and authenticity to the trip. Elsa Maria was a wonderful guide, energetic, very professional, well informed, kind, generous. Her presence and personality mixed with the richness of the tour, covering landscapes, unique places, tradition, history, makes this day tour outstanding. I certainly recommend it to be taken and on a personal level, I hope to come back and enjoy it with my daughter.
Thank you Elsa Maria!
Patrick OQuinn –
The tour was exceptional and very much appreciated. I learned so much and he was a very engaging guide.
john Lean –
I could look around at all the sites without having to watch the road if I was self-driving. The running commentary from a true local completed the tour for me – if I did the sights myself with a self-driving tour, I would have missed out on so much valuable information to do with history, traditions and cultural aspects of the sites and villages.
Elsa and her brother are very personable tour guides without becoming overwhelming in delivering a lot of facts and stories. A good guide really makes the tour special, and I have come away with lasting good memories of Faroe.
Fatima –
We had an amazing time on Sandoy Island Tour! Although we were only 2 persons ,the tour was not cancelled, which we truly appreciated.
Our guide, Elsa Maria, was absolutely fantastic warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. She shared a lot of historical information but what made it special was her funny and captivating way of telling stories. We were laughing, learning, and enjoying every moment.
A special thank you to Elsa Maria for the lovely coffee and sweets she brought along such a thoughtful thing which
added a cozy touch to the day. Highly recommended .
Nevena –
If you want to experience the southern island i highly reccomend this tour. Elsa Maria made it warm, engaging and took really good care of us. She was chasing good views so we made some really good photos!
Gabriele –
You really see all interesting and beautiful places,quite a good tour.But I would prefer it to be longer and to have more time on every place and not to stay 1 hour of the 7 at a restaurant for lunch. But all in all I can rcommend it to see a lot of Sandoy.
Bridgette –
What a tour! With an exceptional tour guide Elsa Maria. I highly recommend this tour if you have limited time on the Faroe Islands. You will see many of the islands key attractions interlaced with excellent storytelling of the local culture, history, legends and folklore! You get a totally immersive experience on this tour. The Faroe Islands is a truly unique experience in travel today. It is a nation with persuasive sense of integrity throughout all interactions and experiences. It’s authenticity and spectacular scenery is unmatched anywhere else in the world that I have visited. Just go. Be mindful and Leave no Trace.
Louise –
Amazing tour!! Was able to see all the highlights of the islands in one day. Elsa Maria was very knowledgeable, telling us all about the history of each place, and went the extra mile to make our tour enjoyable. The cafe we visited for lunch had delicious food, and the small group size was great. Overall perfect!
Madde –
Had such a great day with Elsa that were a excellent guide. Perfect way to see alot in one day without renting a car, and Elsa knows everything and more.
Ragnhild –
Fantastisk 🤩
Jenni Erbel –
An awesome tour. Elsa Maria picked us up early and we had a full day looking at everything. Her knowledge is amazing, her care for the environment is awesome and her sense of humour is great. Amazing scenery with great laughs and stories
James Mueller –
Absolutely wonderful guide!!!
I highly recommend and had a great time!
Eva –
One of my best guided tours ever! Elsa Maria was brilliant: informative, helpful, very friendly and full of ideas. We could visit many interesting and amazing places, I recommend this tour for everyone! Thanks for the wonderful day!
Ling Xu –
My wife and I participated in the “See It All” tour led by Elsa Maria on May 7th. It left a very memorable impression on us. My wife said that Elsa is very passionate about her job and pays great attention to details. Not only did she show us the magnificent natural scenery of the Faroe Islands, but also let us experience the local cultural features, including samples of the unique food tradition and delicious chocolate. Although we left the Faroe Islands, this day’s journey was truly unforgettable, especially the profound impression Elsa left on us. In the future, whenever we mention the Faroe Islands, we will surely think of her care for us throughout the journey, her enthusiastic and fun explanations, as well as the unforgettable smiles.
Ashley –
This was such a great tour! Elsa Maria is an excellent guide, sharing her stories and the history of the Faroe Islands with us throughout the tour. The small group makes for a really lovely, friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended as a great way to see many amazing sites in this beautiful country!
Roeland –
Fantastic tour with Jens Petur, I saw so many things I otherwise would not have seen. Really big recommendation!
Dimitris –
A must tour when in Faroe either on short or long visit! Plenty of stops (coffee and sweets offered as well as some tasteful surprises plus time to enjoy a meal), lots of places to see and admire (either well known and some only local known), different kinds of weather en route but that’s the spice of it along with the excellent story narratives! Sometimes can last a little bit more than 7 hours, but it is worthwhile!
Ana –
Fantastic Tour. We got to see some of the best places in the Faroe Islands in just one day. Elsa was a fantastic guide, she was very kind, organized, knowledgeable and patient. She really made the tour special sharing about Faroese culture, even giving us treats throughout the tour and never rushing us during the stops. Highly recommend this tour and specifically Elsa!
Gary –
The tour was fantastic, with good weather on that day. Our guide is friendly and knowledgeable. I will recommend everyone who visit Faroe island to join the tour.
Melissa –
What a wonderful day spent touring the island. Jens Peter was excellent. His knowledge and stories can not be beat. Would highly recommend.
Asma –
I enjoyed every minute of the tour. Elsa Maria is absolutely the best guide ever so knowledgeable funny and thoughtful. She was always checking on us if we need anything and asking for our opinion about the places we gonna visit.
Thank you so much for the unforgettable day.
Stig Gudman Jensen –
Thanks for a wonderfull trip through some of the Faroe Islands. In 7 hours you’ll get filled with so many amazing sceneries that your camera may not have enough memory ☺️. The guide was very experienced in Faroe culture and history and also spoke English quite well. A memorable tour that is highly recommended.
Jillian –
This was an excellent tour and great introduction to the beauty of the Faroe Islands. Our guide, Jan-Peter (spelling?) was very knowledgeable and shared personal experiences from growing up in the islands, which included a lot of traditions still maintained. We saw so much and yet nothing was rushed. The tour included lunch (at own expense) at a traditional restaurant, which was great. Went to places I’m sure we would never have found on our own. Totally worth it.
Gaby Morales –
Elsa Maria was a fantastic guide. She made sure to educate us on the Faroe Islands and answer any questions we had. Such an amazing experience and would highly recommend to anyone.
Gaby Lacy
Fee –
Stunning tour with an amazing guide. We recommend it!
Charlotta Kristensson –
Excellent tour and excellent guide. 👍
Leandro –
Elsa Maria’s tour was excellent. Really comprehensive visit of Eysturoy, Streymoy and Vagar, with many stops in beautiful villages and viewpoints. Elsa Maria was very knowledgeable, flexible and even offered us some hot drinks and snacks. Also she provides pick up from every acommodation and the tour lasted even longer than expected (around 8 hours in our case). Overall, totally recommended to do the tour with her, which has a fantastic price/quality ratio for the Faroes.
Adel Erdaty –
This was one of my favorite tours. I love that it sampled most of the villages on the Faroe Islands and allowed time to take photos and enjoy the scenery. This is perfect for a short visit if one would like to see most of the country.
Jim –
The tour was comprehensive . It was a pleasure to obtain local knowledge and experience from Maria our guide. I highly recommend the tour.
Alberto Ramirez –
Thanks Jan Peter and Elsa Maria. We had a wonderful time in this tour. Fully recommended. We got to know a lot about Faroe Island. And we felt so welcomed, you were always concerned about every detail. You even lent me a waterproof jacket when it began to rain. We learned a lot with all the information you gave us all through the tour. Thanks again
Phil Wheatley –
Wonderful!
Exceeded all of my expectations. Pick up and drop off perfect.
Tour detailed, interesting and very enjoyable.
We were able to reach areas impossible to see without a car.
100%recommend. Many thanks Maria.
Martin –
Fantastic Tour with fantastic guide. Thanks much Elsa. The weather is what it is, if you want a sunbath go elsewhere…; tour could be longer than planned… don’t be in a rush and just enjoy it.
Jingying Lin –
100% recommend! Look no further; just book this tour! Elsa is very knowledgeable about the local history and culture, and she will take you out even though you are the only participant of the tour or the weather is not nice. The itinerary is well structured and covers a couple of classic tourist spots that are not easily accessible with buses (still feasible to some extent but is very time consuming), and the restaurant we stopped by is very authentic and full of historic vibe. I really enjoy my time during this tour, whether it’s the scenery itself or my talk with Elsa. In short, if you want to explore these small villages as much as possible with limited time, this tour will be the right choice for you.
Ines Chen –
I had a really good time at the Tour with Elsa Maria, which she is fun, caring and attentive. We had enjoyed her tour so much we had arranged another tour next day with her brother Jan Peter, who is also a wonderful tour guide and gave us a lot of information about Faroe, the place we had visited and some interesting spots along the way. Would highly recommend the tour!
Jeff Chase –
Simply outstanding – these are top notch tour guides with centuries of family history to share to boot – we were absolutely thrilled by the drive and stops and vistas and views of this super special spot on this earth. We highly recommend using Elsamaria and Peter’s tour. We were able to dodge the cruise ship buses and zip around the island, catching highlights like the islands, puffins, sheep, cattle, waterfalls, and more. Thanks Elsamaria and Peter for a wonderful day.
Sarah –
I had a really wonderful day with Elsa Maria. It was such a fantastic tour, we saw so much and the stories just made it all more interesting.
I loved hearing about the islands from such a personal perspective and the tea break was very welcome.
Getting the route and pictures afterwards was lovely.
Thanks again and I look forward to coming back to the Faroes soon.
Andrea Pohl –
Thanks for a lovely day at Faroer! I’ m so glad , I booked the tour with Elsa.
You made this day for me unforgettable.
A very special experience with a very special guide ! She was wonderful and helpful to everyone. She made me feel very welcome and told us a lot of the Faroe Islands and provided us with coffee and sweets. And the rhubarb cake with sourcreme- I love it❣️
Thank you, Elsa for the great job!
Celina Stewart –
I can definitely see why this is billed as the “see everything” tour (although I do recommend anyone looking to truly “see everything” also get to the Northern Isles, if possible!). This trip packed so much into 7 hours – from fairytale landscapes and waterfalls to the “fog valley” to incredible cultural history at beautiful ~300+ year old farms and churches. Elsa Maria was an incredible guide – so knowledgeable, so willing to share her stories and experiences, and pointed out several places where her own family had lived and worked across our itinerary. She was also very knowledgeable about the floral / fauna. She made sure everyone had water, tea / coffee / had extra sweaters for folks in the group who hadn’t dressed warmly enough, etc. Extremely thoughtful and caring guide and I wish I had more time in the Faroes to explore some of the sights we visited in more depth.
Jordan Williams –
Elsa Was An Incredible Guide. Would Highly Recommend For First Time Visitors To The Faroe Islands!
Adrian –
Great tour with Elsa. She cares deeply about her home and community and has a real passion for showing people around the Faroe Islands. You don’t just see the incredible scenery and wildlife, she gives you the context and history around the people that have lived alongside it. Highly recommend this tour.
Frank Boice –
Elsa Maria did a magnificent tour. This was my second tour with her. What a fun way to learn about the Faroes.
Lynne Mort –
Despite the weather this turned out to be an amazing day. A great way to see some of the highlights of the Faroe Islands. I was picked up from my hotel and shared my day with some lovely people from around the world. Elsa Maria our driver and tour guide was very generous and spoke of the history of the island through facts and family stories bringing alive the rich past of these beautiful islands. She went over and above what she needed to do and I much appreciated her knowledge and humour.
Val –
We really enjoyed our trip around the Faroes . We covered a lot of ground , saw many beautiful landscapes and visited traditional coastal villages and farms . Elsa Marie was an engaging host and gave us a running commentary on the history, culture , politics and geography of these spectacular islands.
Jose –
Very nice tour and great guide! We did see many of the highligths and best of all our guide gave us much info about history and the way of living at Faroe Islands. Definitely recommend this tour
Carl Baker –
A truly fantastic experience. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Extremely experienced guide who brought the the place alive.
Would give it six stars if I could.
Mike –
What an amazing day. We saw all the best bits up close. Our guide was excellent, his sharing of his lifestyle really gave a great insight to local way of life. Which is way different to mine!
One suggestion though, a shopping stop so souvenirs could be gathered please.
Us cruise ship participants left our ship as soon as the gangplank dropped and we got back 10 minutes before curfew, hence no other chance to visit the shops.
Cindy –
🌍✨ Highly recommend the one-day tour in the Faroe Islands!
It was my first time meeting such a passionate and caring guide 💛
Huge thanks to Elsa Maria for not only showing us breathtaking views 🏞️ but also for filming and editing a beautiful short video 🎥 to capture our journey.
Unforgettable experience — I’ll treasure it forever! 🙏🌈
Marianne –
Fantastic tour with a great guide!
Thank you Elsa Maria for this wonderful experience!
Francesco Pernice –
Beautiful experience, very exciting, breathtaking views, Elsa was a very good and professional guide, excellent food, I will definitely come back to finish visiting the rest of the islands.
Wilson CHUNG –
I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful experience Elsa provided during our tour of the Faroe Islands. Her attention to detail, cheerful personality, and engaging storytelling made the trip truly memorable. I appreciated how she shared her knowledge about the local culture and history, and her enthusiasm was infectious. Thank you for making our adventure so enjoyable!
Brogan and Matt –
Elsa Maria is a fantastic guide 🤗 What an amazing day we had!! We saw so many beautiful places and Elsa Maria shared so much local knowledge which was great ☺️ It would not be the same trying to do this trip on your own. The reviews were right – Elsa Maria does go above and beyond and does a wonderful job. Thank you so much for such a great experience. The places were beautiful, animals cute, guide fantastic and lunch was very nice 👌We are so glad we booked this trip ☺️ Thank you so much again ☺️ 🇫🇴💕
Rupak –
This was my best tour of the Faroe Islands, you get to see all the highlights in just one day. Our guide Elsa Maria was amazing. She is fun, very knowledgeable and caring. I can highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Faroe Islands
Oumayma Koubaa –
Well guess I can only confirm what has been already mentioned by the other reviewers !
Guess few words aren’t enough but I can only say that Jens Peter is such an incredible guide ! you feel Faroe islands through his words, stories, anecdotes …
Felt like a movie sitting watching the beautiful sceneries and listening to him.
Every place visited was stunning and you get to learn a lot through the entire experience. Very caring and generous, reflecting the generosity of the faroese ! not only you get to see the islands but you get to feel the passion towards the culture! I enjoyed the entire experience through which you will use all your senses.
I definitely recommend the tour with Jens Peter because you will get to see good sceneries and mostly will be treated as a special guest in Faroe islands !
Thanks Jens for this beautiful experience, for sharing your enthusiasm and again for the tasty snacks and desserts !!!
Eugene Mullins –
An amazing guided tour with Jens Peturs
Very knowledgeable and interesting talks and took us to the most amazing and beautiful of locations.
100% recommended
Thanks again
Eugene
Dan Calleja –
Our tour was amazing! We were picked up on time and taken to the most amazing places in the Faroe Islands. Everything was well organized, and we were well taken care of. We highly recommend this tour to anybody going to the Faroe Islands!
Bertrand –
I travel a lot all around the world for 50 years and this tour with Elsa is one of the best in my life.
It was intense, dynamic…the best way to see a lot in a day.
All the explanations were very interesting.
I highly recommanded this tour with Elsa.
Carmen Graciaa –
This tour promised that you would “see it all” and it did not disappoint. Jens Petur shares his love and knowledge of the Faroe Islands with you as he drives you around 11 of the 18 Islands that make up the Faroes. We went through tunnels, visited small villages, saw beautiful waterfalls, all while being entertained with Jens Petur’s stories about this magical place. We were a group of eight and traveled. Comfortably in his van. Snacks and plenty of restroom stops were provided. For lunch, we were taken to a local restaurant that had the best seafood soup. It’s an all day trip, but we did not feel rushed and were brought back to our cruise ship right on time. For a fantastic overview of the Faroes, I can highly recommend this tour. You really do see it all and it is all fantastic!!
Ali Hajian –
I went on this Trip with my wife during the month of June. Elsa’s Hospitality and knowledge of the Faroe island made our tour a memorable one. Her family has been in the Faroe Islands for more than 10 centuries and has all the information and resources needed to make this tour happen. In the future , I will definitely recommend any of my relatives to this tour.
Frauke Knüppelholz –
Thank you so much Elsa Maria for this amazing experience. You were a wonderful guide with lots of stories and fairy tales about these incredible islands.
Everything was perfect organized and in time. Definetely more than I expected.
I only can recommend this tour.
Olivia Cawthorn –
Elsa Maria our guide, was simply the best! We chose her 7 hour Tour and we were fortunate to be blessed with good weather, a comfortable bus and her immense knowledge of The Faroes. Her childhood stories, local legends, Faroese history etc. were all delivered with humour and sensitivity .We could not have been more delighted with the tour and highly recommend it.
Ted and Livvy.
P.S We really appreciated her taking us to a marvellous cafe for lunch with a fascinating history to it.
Nik –
Thanks Elsa Maria for the wonderful tour! Pickup and drop off were on time and tour provided a excellent historical and cultural information about Faroe Islands along the way. Able to reach many beautiful and jaw dropping sites with stunning visual beauty! Elsa Maria is a true expert guide and thought through every detail. Saw puffins, sheep, cattle, waterfalls, villages, and ended tour with ability to get up and close with some beautiful Faroese horses that the kids loved! Thanks Elsa Maria for a wonderful day we will not forget!
K –
A perfect way to experience the Faroe Islands, especially if you only have limited time on the islands or are based in Torshavn. Elsa Maria was a fantastic guide with great knowledge and a good sense of humour.
Amy –
Thank you Maria for being an excellent guide. I had so much fun joining this very informative tour and would highly recommend it!
Amanda –
Absolutely amazing tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much about Faroese history, culture while taking in the stunning natural environment. Our guide was so kind, welcoming and even provided us with generous snacks and coffee/tea. This tour was really a once in a lifetime experience and the value that we received we cannot put a price on. This tour is a must for any visitor to the Faroe Islands that wants an authentic experience from a local guide. A++
Marielle –
We had a memorable 9 hours minibus ride and saw wonderful views with ElsaMaria. She told us everything you’d like to know about the island and stopped at all the places a tourist would like to see and photograph. We had a stop at a restaurant with good food, but there was also snacks and coffee along the way. It’s much more convenient to take this tour compared to renting a car and trying to find all the best spots by yourself. And on top of that you get historical information and old tellings from a true local, you get to know the islands and their inhabitants in a kind of personal way.
Martha Lindgren Marino –
Our guides ElsaMaria and her brother JesPeter were warm, knowledgeable, energetic people whose family has lived in the Faroe Islands for many generations. And they know how to drive the narrow one-lane roads with hazards that would be scary for us – sheep and lambs darting across the road, oncoming cars with no place to pull over, steep cliffside drop-offs. Each stop was interesting and beautiful, and they had just the right balance of information, humor, and warmth. Highly recommended, particularly at the beginning of your visit as an indispensable orientation.
Betsy Sielaff –
This tour was outstanding! Not only did I get to see a lot – Elsa was a wonderful story teller and a delight to be around. I truly enjoyed all the information she shared with us and loved lunch at a local cafe. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone who comes to the Faroe Islands!
Sarah Craig –
I had a fantastic time on this tour! Saw all the key sights and more. The guides went out of their way to accommodate requests and give as much information as possible. The ideal tour when you’re short on time!
Lesley Inglis –
I very much enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend. We saw a lot in a busy day, Elsa Maria fairly moves you about. She gives you a lot of local information which is very interesting. This tour serves as a great introduction to the islands.
Kristen and Ben –
This is a perfect tour for your first day in the Faroe Islands, especially if you have limited time to visit. Elsa Maria brought us to several of the top sights in 3 islands and provided stories and insight about life on the islands. She also provided tea and coffee and snacks and made plenty of stops for comfort breaks. She had each party rotate seats in the van so everyone got a turn riding up front with the sweeping views. We had 8 participants on our tour day and luckily everyone truly wanted to see it all and didn’t want to risk missing anything if we ran overtime. Elsa Maria took pictures throughout the day and organized them into a video link that she shared with us. It was a nice way to see where all we’d been. She also took pictures of us on our cameras and knew some cool angles for trick shots (especially by the waterfall). We had a delicious lunch at the cafe (Fiska stykkid) which is a place we’d read about and had wanted to visit anyway. We saw beautiful scenery and animals (sheep, puffins, Highland cattle, Faroese horses) and had a truly wonderful day. We highly recommend Elsa Maria’s tour!
laiieng chio –
Was one of my favourite tours i have ever joined!
Maria was super helpful and knowledgeable. And i was impressed by her driving skills!
Highly recommend this tour as a must do in Faroe!
Xiaopin Wang –
My daughter and I joined this tour ten days ago and we absolutely enjoyed the views. Elsa was energetic and passionate. We met someone in our small group who did the same tour with her four years ago. I would do it a second time if I ever go back to Faroe Island.
Susan Raven –
Elsa was a fabulous tour guide. She went above and beyond to deliver a fun filled experience of the Faroe Islands. I now have an understanding of the culture and customs as well as the history. The scenery was spectacular and the places we visited were fascinating. An excellent tour.
Phil & Mikaela –
Wonderful tour and a great full day of sights and history. Well organised by Elsa Maria. Fun day, all round.
Sheila –
A great way to quickly cover key highlights and sights of Faroe Islands. Very much enjoyed the day. The fish restaurant was a highlight
Brittany O –
Excellent tour, that efficiently takes you to many sights. It is a packed itinerary but if you have limited time in the Faroe Islands, this is the tour for you. Our guide, Elsa Maria, was a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend this tour!
Alimuddin Usmani –
We made the tour with Jens-Petur and it was absolutely outstanding. He’s an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guide. Throughout the whole trip, he answered all our questions and shared fascinating stories about the magical places we visited. One of the highlights was stopping at a restaurant with a delicious fish soup. Jens-Petur also recommended a beer made with barley from Múlafossur — it was excellent! We had a truly wonderful time. Don’t hesitate to book this tour — you’ll discover so many amazing places.
Jean-Pierre –
A wonderful overview of these majestic Faroe Islands. Elsa Maria always pays attention to her guests’ well being in sharing her very interesting knowledge of the country ( traditions, culture, nature, way of life…). A pretty captivating tour I clearly recommend ! Thanks a lot for this good memory indeed !
Susan –
A well-organised tour which really does cover a lot of ground. Jens Peturs was a great guide who shared his love of the islands along with lots of interesting history and information about life in the Faroes. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip to any visitor to the islands. (Elsa Marie was also very responsive to my questions when booking the trip.)
Majed Aljneibi –
The trip was amazing, we get to see natural gems and beautiful villages in the Faroe Islands, im looking forward to relive the experience with elsa again.
Thank you very much for the amazing experience.
Martin Shipton –
Together with my wife and daughter, I took a day-long minibus tour of three of the Faroe Islands led by Elsa Maria Bærentsen and her brother Jens Petur.
We had high expectations, but nothing prepared us for the stunning landscapes, villages and sea vistas that we saw during the trip. They are truly awe-inspiring and breathtaking. The fish lunch in an unpretentious cafe was delicious too.
What made it perhaps the best tour of its kind that we have ever experienced were the historical and cultural insights that Elsa Maria and Petur introduced us to in such an entertaining and sometimes humorous way as the day unfolded. Both have an intimate knowledge and understanding of their country – for the Faroe Islands are a country and not a far western outpost of Denmark – and of its traditions that have somehow been retained even while the prosperity of the islanders has grown.
The Faroe Islands remain pristine and unspoilt – unlike so many other places that in a globalised world have lost their charm. Going on a tour with Elsa Maria and Petur adds greatly to the enjoyment of a visit. I can’t recommend doing so highly enough.
Gry –
Fantastisk tur. Kunnskapsrik og hyggelig guide. Både lærerikt og veldig gøy! Anbefalles til alle
Lysiane Mariani –
This tour is the perfect introduction to the Faroe Islands. It should be done at the beginning of your stay so that you can see everything and decide where you’d like to go back to (although this remains a very difficult question, as all the places we visited were magnificent and worthy of a second visit!) Elsa guided the group efficiently and sympathetically, showing us lots of places that we wouldn’t have seen without her knowledge and giving us a wealth of information and anecdotes about the islands. And bonus, a few days later she sent us a souvenir film of the magnificent photos taken during our day. Many thanks for a wonderful day.
Nancy Gray –
What a fabulous tour our “See it All” tour was! Elsa was an extraordinary guide – she was punctual, friendly, extremely well organized and a wonderful communicator. She gave us the deluxe treatment for sure. She shared stories, history, culture, and facts – at tour’s end I felt like I could say I had been well introduced to these fabulous and beautiful islands. She was an excellent and safe driver also. I have visited about 140 countries and had many guides – Elsa would be in the top five of guides I’ve had and this tour in the top 10. This company ranks right up there too for customer service – you couldn’t ask for better service from anyone. They are friendly,responsive, patient. You will not be disappointed in this tour or any other others they offer.
AnnMaree –
Perfect day out fabulous lunch spot, Elsa was unbelievable
Loved the whole day
Winnie Ho –
A group of us joined the tour organised by Elsa Maria and Jens Petur who took us around some of the beautiful islands near to Tórshavn. Both Elsa Maria and Jens Petur are very friendly and attentive and the tour is very professionally organised. Along the way, we were offered treats which was a nice touch. We have no reservation in recommending the tour.
During our stay in Faroe Islands, Tórshavn was mostly hidden in the mist, but there seems to be micro-climates in different parts of the islands, and the weather improved once we were outside of Tórshavn. So don’t let the weather put you off joining a tour.
Gina –
If you are considering a guided tour, this is the one for you.
I am very picky when it comes to guided tours and will rather not join one, except if it is local and small or private.
Els Maria is just that. She is a local and an excellent tour guide. Not only will she tell you where you are and what you are seeing, she will also share her stories with her guests, making the experience come alive.
You can clearly see her passion for her birthplace and rightfully so. Also, very protective of the islands, which is a good lesson for all of us.
She is an excellent hostess, obviously loving what she does ( one cannot fake genuine passion) and also takes an interest in her guests. She is curious. It is a small group making it feel more intimate, like you are on a trip with friends.
All in all, a very pleasurable experience. Learned a lot.
Thank you Elsa Maria
Sophia Olsson –
I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic tour we had with Else Maria.
I can’t believe everything we got to see, everything we got to learn and everything we got to experience with her speed ride through Faroe Islands while she at the same time kept it very personal and inviting for us tourists. Couldn’t have been better! I would recommend her to anyone.
And the restaurant where we stopped to eat, just as fantastic as everything else.
Thank you again for a great tour!
Trisha Crawley –
Amazing day touring around the islands and villages with Elsa Maria! Elsa is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. Very full day with amazing sites. Some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve experienced. Elsa gives the tour a personal touch and helps you understand the history of the islands and the people. Thank you for an amazing day.

Jeg var på tur med Elsa Maria og vi mødtes også flere gange med Elsas bror som kørte en anden bus.
Jeg blev hentet som aftalt og under hele turen, var det med smil og godt humør.
Elsa var en sikker og rutineret bilist, der lige netop vidste, hvornår man skulle holde for andre og hvornår de burde holde. Samtidigt var det tydeligt at hun kendte sit land og var stolt af det. Jeg har kun positivt at sige om Elsa Maria og hun får 5 ud af 5 stjerner af mig.
Jeg spiser ikke fisk og det var absolut ikke vellykket for mig at komme på fiskerestaurant.
Det var et tilbud og ikke en del af turen, så det ændrer ikke på at Elsa Maria leverede til perfektion og derfor får 5 ud af 5 stjerner.
Jeg vil til hver en tid, gerne på tur med Elsa Maria igen👍👍🥰😍
Venlig hilsen Steen Lessels

When deciding on a tour, choose a local tour guide. If you have a choice, choose Elsa Maria.
It will make for a wonderful experience with a personal touch, local stories, beautiful scenery.
Looking back you will not remember it as a tour but as a day out with lovely people who make you feel right at home.
Brigitta –
I had such a fantastic day on the day trip I booked! From start to finish, everything was seamless – pick-up was right on time, the group was small, the car spotless, and the views were absolutely breathtaking.
Our guides, Elsa Maria and Jens Petur, were incredible. They shared so much rich information about the Faroe Islands – from history and culture to daily life – and made it all feel so personal with their own stories and experiences. It genuinely felt like we were being welcomed into their community, not just visiting it.
We had lunch in a charming little restaurant with lovely options, and even had a snack and tea/coffee served by Elsa Maria herself – such a thoughtful touch.
Both guides were warm, knowledgeable, funny, and clearly passionate about what they do.
I can’t recommend this tour enough.
Wishing Elsa Maria and Jens Petur all the best – thank you for an unforgettable day!
Yangmei –
The tour guide was very enthusiastic and explained in detail. The trip was perfect and the restaurant we took for lunch was also delicious. It was a very enjoyable trip, thanks to the gentleman who guide us.
Rosa –
Thank you Elsa Maria for showing us and letting us get to know and experience the best pieces of Faroe Islands! The trip was very well organized and included surprises and hidden gems. Highly recommend this trip with Elsa Maria and her family! ❤️
Helga Mjeldheim –
Vi vil takke for en dag fylt av inntrykk som jeg tror vi vil bære med oss alltid. Vi satte stor pris på varmen, humøret og engasjementet hos dere guider og den personlige måten dere viste oss Færøyene på. Fin variasjon i aktiviteter og god formidling av kunnskap om ulike steder, skikker og historie. Denne dagen ble høydepunktet for oss på turen, og vi anbefaler dere gjerne til andre som vil dra til Færøyene
Sandra Ortiz –
This tour was wonderful; informative and interesting. Elsa is very knowledgeable and engaging with her guests. I highly recommend this tour.
Ana –
An unbelievable trip—absolutely packed with impressions. If I ever come back that way again, I’ll be sure to get in touch. Thank you!!!
Sabrina Lee –
Elsa was a wonderful tour guide! She has a wicked sense of humor and is really passionate about her work and Faroe Islands. I really loved the restaurant she brought us to, Fiskastykkio, and the funny pictures she helped us take. We got to see some amazing sights all in one day ☺️❤️
Emma –
A great day out even though the weather wasn’t always on our side! A good, quick intro to some absolutely stunning places on the Faroe Islands, a lot covered in a day. Elsa Maria is a passionate guide who cares about her country a lot, she gave us loads of great information and stories. We ate at a lovely restaurant for lunch as well, delicious food! I also left my hat on the bus and Elsa Maria kindly delivered it to me in Torshavn – very grateful!
Jeremy Jensen –
I wanted to take a moment to submit a review for a tour my wife and I enjoyed during our recent trip to the Faroe Islands. We were fortunate to be able to partake in the “See It All” tour with Elsa Maria as our guide on April 30. While I am a bit tardy in sharing my review, that should not take away from the magnificent job Elsa Maria did in showing us her beautiful country.
I cannot rave enough about Elsa Maria and this tour. My wife was a little skeptical heading into it, but she has not stopped telling people about it since our return. There is absolutely no better way to see so much of the Faroe Islands in such a short timeline. Elsa Maria tirelessly guided us to so many locations. She shared so many interesting facts and stories. I was not bored for a single moment. She did a good job of helping everyone “break the ice” and get to know each other, which just added to the positive atmosphere of the tour experience. She is clearly a masterful guide and a lovely human being. I enjoyed her tour so much that I signed up to be notified for the next “closed for maintenance” season so I could perhaps return to your beautiful country. Her thoughtfulness of bringing along plenty of coffee, tea, snacks, blankets, jackets, etc shows that she has done this more than a few times. Her humor and knowledge also kept us going through the long day. I would do this tour again without hesitation. Thank you, Elsa Maria. You truly made our anniversary trip very special!
Pedro Mateu –
Great tour and great guide! Totally recommended!
Magdalena Ulanowicz –
My review will be short and to the point: just book this trip, because it’s worth every penny and every minute. Elsa Maria, you’re incredible – thank you so much for a wonderful day full of scenic views, many stories and good humour
Agata –
Elsa was an incredible guide—extremely generous with her time and kindness. She took us to beautiful must-see spots, sharing stories about the history and life on the islands along the way. It was a wonderful way to explore the Faroes for someone without a car (like myself), but it would also be a great introductory trip for anyone looking to scout out favorite places to return to later. Thank you, Elsa, for a beautiful day!
Daniel Warnholtz –
Outstanding tour with very knowledgeable guide, Jens and his sister. We truly enjoyed it, and we got to see a lot during the full day, which would have been difficult to do on your own. Coupled with the high knowledge, and not least important their engaging and clearly very committed way of introducing us to their native Faero islands. Cannot recommend enough as it clearly added to our full week tour of the islands.
Mark Holmes –
An AMAZING day out! This is an absolute must for first timers to the Faroes. Elsa Maria was SUPERB! She was knowledgeable, funny and caring. The scenery was stunning and itinerary was expertly planned. We saw everything we wanted and more with ample time at each place. Being a small group and van made it even more enjoyable with a great choice for lunch. Elsa also helped take photos and this is invaluable if you are travelling by yourself. It was so nice to be cared for by a local and also being shown her personal family history. This left me really connected with the Islands, its history and people
SAMITHA KHAIYUM –
The Faroe Islands tour offered a breathtaking and unique experience, showcasing stunning landscapes, rugged cliffs, vibrant grass-covered rooftops, and charming villages. All of us raved about the dramatic scenery, which was perfect for nature lovers and photographers. The local culture was rich, with delicious traditional cuisine, friendly locals, and intriguing history. The tour organized by Elsa Maria was wonderful, providing expert guidance, personalized service, and a seamless experience. Overall, it was a memorable destination for those seeking natural beauty and authentic experiences in a remote, picturesque setting.
Shraddha Patel –
We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a day trip to Vágar Island guided by Elsa Maria and it was an experience we will cherish for a long time. From start to finish, Maria ensured that we had an unforgettable and enriching adventure. It was raining when we started the trip. She changed the course for us to see things until the weather clears up a little. Later we took a hike to Lake Leitensvatn. Thanks to Maria to take me to Cliff again on my request to see the illusion when the clouds cleared. She had an extensive knowledge of the area and its history, it was evident as she shared fascinating stories and insights about the places we visited. It was clear that Maria is not only passionate about it but also deeply connected to the places we visited.
The itinerary was perfect as we wanted. It was perfect combination of hiking to cliff to see optical illusion Lake Leitisvatn, sightseeing on Vágar Island and thrilling boat ride to Drangarnir.
She managed our lunch on special request at the very last minute. It was very nice.
Rosalyn –
This tour was the highlight of our Faroe Islands trip! We were not adequately prepared for the hike and Elsa Maria brought us hiking boots to ensure that we would be able to truly enjoy and experience the hike safely. She made sure we were always safe and comfortable during the trip. She even brought us jackets in case we were to get cold or if it were to rain! We were very well taken care of throughout and we were able to see so many sights, hiked to explore the fantastical floating lake, had a delicious lunch, took gorgeous photos, had a fun boat ride. If you can only do one tour in Faroe Islands, I would recommend doing this one!
Sonia Garcia –
I recently had the privilege of experiencing a guided tour of the Faroe Islands led by Elsa, and it was nothing short of magical. If you’re considering this tour, prepare yourself for an unforgettable journey through some of the most stunning landscapes on earth.
Our day began in Tórshavn, where Elsa greeted us with warmth and enthusiasm. As we drove north along the mountain road and through the underwater tunnel to Vágar Island, Elsa shared fascinating insights and stories that made the trip even more engaging. Elsa was also very helpful and kind, she helped my mom through the hikes to ensure her safety.
The highlight of our hike was reaching the Trælanípa cliff. The optical illusion of the lake appearing to float above the ocean was astonishing, and the rugged beauty of the Bøsdalafossur waterfall and the Geituskorardrangur rock wall left me in awe. Elsa’s knowledge of the area really shone through as she pointed out unique features and shared intriguing local lore. Elsa was also very helpful and kind, she helped my mom through the hikes to ensure her safety for maximal enjoyment.
Lunch at a cozy local restaurant was a delightful experience. I loved tasting dishes made from fresh local ingredients—Elsa’s recommendations were spot-on, and the food was a delicious reflection of the region’s culinary heritage. We got lucky and had musicians play incredible music in the restaurants!
In the afternoon, we ventured to the remote and picturesque village of Gásadalur. The sight of Múlafossur Waterfall cascading down with the charming village in the backdrop was as iconic as it gets. Elsa’s tips on the best angles for photos ensured I got the perfect shot to remember this special moment. We even get to see Puffins!
The day concluded with a spectacular one-hour boat tour from Sørvágur. Seeing the Drangarnir sea-arch and the dramatic coastline from the water was a fitting end to an incredible day. Elsa’s expertise and friendly demeanor made the whole experience feel personalized and special.
This tour is a must-do for anyone wanting to explore the Faroe Islands’ natural beauty. Elsa’s guidance and the day’s itinerary made for an extraordinary adventure that I’ll cherish forever. Highly recommended!
Enoch –
Our day trip through the Faroe Islands with Maria was an extraordinary adventure that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we met in Tórshavn, Maria’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge set the tone for an unforgettable journey.
The drive to Vágar Island was filled with Maria’s captivating stories about Faroese history and culture. Our first stop at the Miðvágur village was breathtaking, with its natural harbor nestled between towering cliffs. Maria’s local insights helped us appreciate the unique way of life in this remote settlement.
The hike was a bit challenging (suggest wearing appropriate shoes for muddy landscapes during rainy weather) but rewarding. Maria was attentive and patient, ensuring everyone in our group could safely enjoy the experience. The panoramic views from the summit were simply awe-inspiring, showcasing the dramatic landscapes of multiple islands.
Lunch at a charming café offered a delicious taste of traditional Faroese cuisine. Maria’s recommendations were excellent!
Our day concluded with a boat tour, where we spotted puffins and other seabirds nesting on the cliffs.
This comprehensive tour, guided by Maria’s expertise and genuine passion for the Faroe Islands, provided an unparalleled insight into this remarkable archipelago. It’s an absolute must for anyone seeking to truly experience the natural wonders and rich culture of the Faroe Islands.
Zachary Shufro –
My tour with Elsa Maria was the best part of my entire trip to the Faroe Islands! She was kind enough to reschedule my tour after my flight was delayed my one day, and I ended up having a private tour. Maria was full of helpful and interesting information about the sites we visited, and we had an excellent time talking as we hiked, visited different waterfalls and villages, and on our boat ride. If you only have time to do one tour in the Faroe Islands, this is the one that I would recommend!
Eric Wei Lim –
It was a wonderful day to spend with Elsa for the tour and I was very lucky to be the only guest for the day, so I had her all to myself. It felt more like a good friend driving and showing me the highlights of tour and she is very patient and likes to shares lots of short stories and information about the places we visited that day. She is passionate about her work and great company to be with. She is also very thoughtful and brought a spare jacket and hiking shoes in case I did not have the right gear and attire. She also likes to take photos of her guests during the tour and very engaging at all times. I feel like she is a good friend rather than a tour guide. She even took a short detour to show me Faroese horses knowing that I love animals. As for the lunch, I was so happy that I got to try the fish soup and it was delicious.
All in all, she has exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend this tour. It was a truly a wonderful day and I’d love to come back to Faroe Islands again for another visit and sign up one of her tours again.
Christen –
Else Maria är en utomordentligt professionell och kunnig guide. Hon visade oss en rad unika och natursköna platser som vi inte kände till sedan tidigare. Dagen avslutades med en mycket uppskattad båttur där vi fick möjlighet att se flera lunnefåglar i sitt naturliga habitat. Lunchen som hon bjöd på höll hög kvalitet och bidrog till en helhetsupplevelse utöver det vanliga. Vi ger våra varmaste rekommendationer för denna välplanerade och minnesvärda tur.
Matthew Ferro –
Loved this tour and highly recommend it! The day started with a hike to the lake above the sea followed by a delicious lunch at Fiskastykkid (wonderful fish soup and sparkling rhubarb juice). The afternoon included a stop at the Mulafossur waterfall and a rib boat ride to through the Drangarnir sea arch etc. where we saw many puffins and a seal. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.
BC –
Great tour through some of the best spots on the island.
Very nice lunch at a local spot.
Guide Elsa was very kind and helpful.
David McMahon –
Jens Petur did an outstanding job! The hike was pleasant despite the subpar weather which caused us to not be able to see the floating lake. However Mulafossur waterfall was beautiful and the boat trip out to see the Drangarnir sea arch and other sites was great. Thanks Jens Petur!
Ommar Win Aung –
We had a great tour with Peter. Due to the weather( fog) , we did not get to see the lake well but Peter gave a fantastic tour of Faroe islands. We had great lunch ( my husband had fish soup and I had salmon salad, and great waffles and rhubarb juice ) and saw beautiful small villages and falls, Learned about Faroe island and the beautiful people who live in the islands. Also met Peter’s sister Elsa 🙂
The highlight for me was a boat tour and we saw the puffins, close up of the falls, little villages and sea stacks. Such a beautiful place and impossible to describe the beauty. We are so glad we get to experience all. Thanks Peter. We had a wonderful time.

Majestic 7 Hour Tour to the Northern Islands
9/20/2024
Outstanding tour! Our tour guide, Elsa Maria, provided a unique experience of 3 of the Northern most Islands: Kunoy,
Bordoy and Vidoy.
We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel which was nice, since we didn’t rent a car. The car we rode in was comfortable. Coffee, water and various snacks were provided throughout the trip. We stopped for lunch at a nice cafe in Klaksvík. Elsa Maria also took photos along the way to document the trip and sent a link with the photos after the tour. We never felt rushed and saw a variety of sites. Elsa Maria we very knowledgeable and provided a local’s insight on the different areas and on the Faroe Islands. We highly recommend this tour.
Pan Phay Shan –
If you’re visiting the Faroe Islands, I highly recommend the Majestic 7-Hour Tour to the Northern Islands! Our guide, Elsa Maria, was exceptional—she was incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail. She even brought extra waterproof gear, noticing my attire might not be warm enough for the changing weather, which was so thoughtful. Elsa Maria shared fascinating insights and stories throughout the tour, making each stop even more meaningful and giving us a deep appreciation of the Faroe Islands. Not only that, but she’s a talented photographer and took beautiful photos for us to keep as lasting memories.
The transportation was comfortable, cozy, spacious, and spotless, which made the journey all the more relaxing. To top it off, we were provided with coffee, tea, and snacks along the way, adding a warm, welcoming touch to the entire experience.
This tour was truly a highlight of my trip, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the Faroe Islands. Elsa Maria and her team make sure you’re well taken care of while showcasing the breathtaking beauty and charm of these islands!
Jo Yip –
The tour guide Jens is such a nice guy and knows everything about the islands. He is so knowledgeable and able to answer all the questions we raised about the Faroe Islands. Though the weather was so terrible, he tried his best to let us enjoy the tour and explore more. Thanks Jens!
Micaela –
The tour was awesome and the guide Elsa Maria was the best. I really enjoyed the tour, would recomend!
Tämä on sinulle, jos haluat nähdä paljon lyhyessä ajassa. Nouto tapahtuu omalta hotellilta, auto oli siisti ja tilava. Opas Elsa Maria kertoo mielenkiintoisia tarinoita ja faktoja alueista. Opas puhuu hyvää ja selkeää englantia. Kierroksen aikana voi esittää toiveita, että mitä haluat erityisesti nähdä. Kierroksen aikana tarjoillaan kahvia ja teetä, ruokailu paikallisessa kahvilassa oli myös hyvä. Saat jälkikäteen linkin oppaan ottamista kuvista. Erinomainen paketti, voin suositella lämpimästi!
Felipe Fredes –
Excelente tour
Pudimos recorrer las islas que están más al norte, bonitas vistas de acantilados y el océano atlántico, pese a que nos tocó un día con mucha lluvia, viento y neblina, pudimos ver muchos lugares. Nuestra guía, Elsa Maria, es excelente, muy buena conductora, simpática y graciosa, nos mantuvo entretenidos durante las 7 horas. El tour igual incluye almuerzo.
Completamente recomendable
Linda Lee –
This is my 2nd day trip booked with Elsa Maria on 22 Nov and it was awesome! Don’t regret as the scenery is different from the first. Definitely recommended as every part of Faroe Island is unique on its own!
Stefy –
Elsa Maria is such an amazing tour guide that I would recommend to every one to take this tour! She tells you so much history and personal stories on faroe Island which is just absolutely amazing! She’s also very kind and take care of you all the way from the moment she picks you up 🙂 During the tour, she also provides you with coffee tea and really cool snacks 😎 really enjoyed the day with her exploring the Northern islands and her company 😊😊
Gina Hutchinson –
Elsa was brilliant and gave an excellent commentary about the places we visited. Her hospitality was superb.
Eva –
A well-organized and very interesting tour with a professional guide (Peter)!
Many amazing places, enough time to enjoy and take photos. I absolutely recommend! Thanks Peter!
Ashley –
I loved this tour. The northern islands are gorgeous (and the weather the day of our tour was perfect) and our guide Jens Petur was so kind and knowledgeable. We stopped at a great spot for lunch (or cake in my case) and saw so many wonderful things. It really was such a great first full day in the Faroe Islands for me. 100% recommended!
Dimitris –
A must tour when in Faroe either on short or long visit! Plenty of stops (coffee and sweets offered as well as some tasteful surprises plus time to enjoy a meal), lots of places to see and admire (either well known and some only local known), different kinds of weather en route but that’s the spice of it along with the excellent story narratives! Sometimes can last a little bit more than 7 hours, but it is worthwhile!
Eric Wei Lim –
This was my second tour with Elsa and she did not disappoint at all. Again, I was fortunate to be the only guest for the day so it was really nice to spend the day with her. The Northern islands are really breath-taking and photos just cannot capture the beauty adequately. You need to be there to take the sights all in to appreciate the stunning landscapes. As my previous positive feedback, Elsa took a lot of photos to document the trip and share the link with me after for memories. She is always engaging, patient and very accommodating. This is a highly recommended tour.
Sim Bee Hia –
Weather was not on our side but nothing was too difficult for Elsa. She is quick, dynamic and energetic. She adjusts quickly, keeps everybody in the loop and makes the best of time. Elsa takes care and looks out for everyone. We had a 90 yr old gentleman from Utah, US and a 88 yr old lady from Norway. Nothing fazed her. Very charming and loving, stopping by to find out more about a sick horse by the road, letting me see the daily community tourists seldom witness. Very knowledgeable and she has the skills of a race car driver – fast, sharp, safe!
Frank Boice –
Elsa Maria did an outstanding tour on a very foggy wet day. Her coverage of history, past events, and current Faroe Island issues was very extensive, and was presented in an outstanding manner. I would do the trip again – hoping for better weather.
Theresa –
A great day with Jens as our guide – he told us so many personal stories about the places we visited, and his love for the Faroe Islands really shone through. The north – wow – We were greeted with spectacular views and so much history. Thoroughly recommend the tour! Despite a gloomy start in Torshavn, we were lucky with some sunny weather when we got to the northern islands, although I know Jens would have made the trip special even in the rain.
Dolly –
Wow, what an insightful, fun and amazing experience. I cannot recommend a better guided day out. He was an ideal ambassador to the country.
Frauke Knüppelholz –
Thanks for this wonderful tour to the Northern Islands of Faroe. Elsa Maria is the perfect guide, knows a lot of stories to tell. She loads you to the best views and places. I highly recommend tours with her. This was my second one. Like last time she provided snacks and drinks and was always meeting the need of the group. Thanks again for this amazing experience with you in the most dramatic scenery.
