Excellent tour and lovely guide – 100% recommend! Beautiful country and people

Excellent halfday tour on Sandoy. If you have time left and want to see more then the highlights on Faroes Islands, then this is a great alternative. Average lesser tourists comes on this island. The small hike was definitely one of the highlights of the tour. You can choose between hike or a town visit. As we already seeing lots of towns during the tour, I prefer the hike. In the end a café restaurant stop where you can eat delicious fish and chips. Note it’s not included in the tour and you have to pay that yourself, bit that’s okay for me.
Deborah Wirsu –
Despite inclement and often foggy weather, plus being the only person booked on the tour, I was treated to a delightful and interesting tour around Sandoy Island. This was my second tour with Jens Peter, an entertaining and knowledgeable guide who made the tour so enjoyable despite the weather. I learned so much about the Faroe Islands, the history and culture. I highly recommend this tour.
Lev –
Good tour
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.
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!
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 .

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.
Patrick OQuinn –
The tour was exceptional and very much appreciated. I learned so much and he was a very engaging guide.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
The Lang’s – California, USA –
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
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.
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!
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 .
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😀
Kim –
It was my first trip to the Faroe Islands and Elsa Maria conducted a fantastic tour of amazing locations on the islands from the rugged cliffs at Gjógv, Fossá and Múlafossur. This was the second tour I took with them and Elsa Maria’s brother showed me around the Northern Islands the day before on a separate tour. I highly recommend using Guide to Faroe Islands if you want wonderfully warm and knowledgeable guides to the islands.
Sherry Wong –
The “See it All” tour on July 14, 2026 guided by Elsa Maria Bærentsen was excellent and memorable. I’ll rate it 5/5 and I shall recommend this to all my friends on my social media if they visit Faroe Islands.👍🏻👏🏻
INGE SAAREPERE –
I recently did the Faroe Islands in 7 hours See it All Tour with Elsa Maria, and can’t recommend it highly enough, especially if you have limited time to see this beautiful country. The scenery was amazing, with stunning views around every corner, and pretty little villages, birdlife, and beautiful vistas. We also enjoyed a delicious seafood lunch at a local restaurant. Being a local, Elsa Maria filled us in on what life is like in such an isolated region, and how adaptable the Faroese are, when the weather and circumstances are difficult. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend this day tour, especially if you have limited time to see this amazing part of the world.
Mike Blaha –
Highly recommend this extensive tour of the Faroe Islands. Jens Peter was affable and extremely knowledgeable and took us to see the best sites around the Islands, followed by a delicious lunch at the famous Fiskastykkið restaurant. A must for anyone who wants to see multiple facets of this fascinating and beautiful country in a short amount of time.
André –
We had an incredible day and I highly recommend this tour!
The company is run by two siblings, and we were lucky enough to spend the day with the brother, who was our guide. He was outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and full of positive energy. He also did a fantastic job of tailoring the experience to the group’s interests, which made the day feel even more special.
It’s an amazing way to see almost everything in just one day, without ever feeling rushed. The pace was relaxed and enjoyable, and the small group size made a huge difference, creating a much more personal and comfortable experience.
Congratulations to both of you for providing such a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Jessica Holten –
Elsa was the BEST! Clear and fast communication when we had some scheduling and logistical complications.
She worked with us to make the best out of the situation and we had a wonderful time!
We are so thankful and what an incredibly beautiful place!
So much gratitude for the hospitality and chance at a glimpse of The Faroe Islands!
Graeme –
Excellent tour. Best way to see stunning scenery when you are here for a short break or at the start of a holiday and you are getting a feel of the islands and where to go.
Chris –
This tour was the highlight of my entire trip! I had a great time and loved Elsa and her brother. Definitely worth every penny!
Hannah –
We had a great time with Jens Peter! The hours flew by as we saw one amazing view after the other. The restaurant we stopped by even had a vegan options, which isn’t a given for the Faroese Islands. We warmly recommend this tour!
Mari J.H –
Elsa Maria skapte en perfekt start på mitt opphold på Færøyene:) Hennes kunnskap, historier, humor, engasjement og refleksjoner ga meg et innblikk jeg satt stor pris på. Stedene hun tok oss til var et must see, og opplevde også at hun ga oss «det lille ekstra». Jeg er så glad jeg bestilte denne turen og anbefaler den på det sterkeste 🙂
Ronnie Robertson –
This tour was fantastic and highly recommended. Elsa Maria knows her way around the islands and has many stories and insights that would be difficult to access without this tour. A great way to see a lot and get a comprehensive introduction to the Faroes.
Kylie –
Elsa Marie is fantastic. This tour is fantastic. A definite recommend to see so much of the islands, and hear so many stories and interesting facts. A great 1st day activity to get to know a little about these amazing islands. Extremely professional and a lot of fun.
Andrew Currier –
This was an incredible 8+ hour adventure around several of the Faroe Islands. We got to see so many different and interesting sights, landmarks, landscapes, and tunnels. Elsa really packed in a lot during the day and she was a great narrator with a sense of humor throughout. We appreciated all her stories, saw a lot, and learned a lot. Amazing how much we got to see. Thank you so much Elsa!
Aviva –
Amazing tour to see the highlights of the Faroe Islands. Jens Peter was extremely knowledgable and offered lots of insights into the people and the history of the Island. We also stopped and had a delicious lunch at a beautiful restaurant. Was a great way to see lots of sights all in one day. Would highly recommend!!
Lily –
I really enjoyed this tour and the breathtaking views that our guide, Peter, took us to see. Peter is incredibly knowledgeable and kind, and he shared many fascinating facts about the Faroe Islands throughout the trip. This was truly an unforgettable experience that I will always cherish. I highly recommend this tour – you definitely won’t regret it!
Asen –
I was extremely happy with this tour!
The guides was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience feel very personal and enjoyable.
We saw some truly breathtaking views, and everything was perfectly organized down to the smallest detail.
A fantastic day from start to finish – highly recommended!
LjILjana (Croatia) –
We had such great time with Jens Peter, who told us not only showed us some breathtakingly beautiful sights but also shared stories form his childhood and life on Faroe Islands. There was an excellent lunch and really great interactions between all of us taking the tour. Jens Peter was really accommodating as well, leaving me and my friend at the bus stop and even following up with the text message to check if we got the bus. Absolutely recommend the tour: you will enjoy the ride! And stories. Ljiljana
Nadezhda Dobreva –
It was such a lovely day with Elsa! The best guide you can have in the Faroe islands! And the trip itself shows most of the best spots just in one day, wich is very useful if you have little time and don’t have a car. Totally recommend and hope we will visit again this beautiful place!
Javier Mora –
Just a great tour and an outstanding guide, the best way to visit Faroe in a short time. Highly recommended, 5 stars. Thank you Elsa!!
Kerry Chandler –
I highly recommend this tour! Elsa Marie was an excellent guide. She loves what she does and where she lives; every story she told, or location she explained, came from the heart. Whether you’re in Faroe for a short time or an extended time, this tour is a must. There is so much to see and experience. This small group tour let us get to know and love the Faroe Islands.
Daniel Carvalho –
The guide (Elsa Maria) was amazing on the whole tour, we visited so many places, she told us about the history of the islands, foods and traditions. We also stopped at a nice spot to have lunch. Recommend it!
Carmina M –
Fantastic tour. We had a great experience with Jens Peter and Elsa Maria. Extremely knowledgable and thoughtful in the way they approached the design and execution of the tour. The stops and pacing are excellent, very comfortable vehicle and you could not have better guides. If you can only take one tour, choose this one. Thank you for a wonderful day!
John Lentini –
Very good service. We did not manage to do the tour as the tour was cancelled for two respective dates as we did not manage to arrive on the Islands on time to attend the guided tour. We recommend the tour as the excellent service provided to us by Hogni and Elsa was exceptional and refunded immediately.
Diego Rivas –
Great tour. I had a fantastic guide, Jens Peter, with great knowledges, very professional and we had a wonderful weather to explore the main highlights of the island. Professional organised and well done by the organisers. The tour lasted more than expected and all the spots visited were great, including the lunch break. Jens Peter is always open to questions and he likes to share his experience as local, in many diverse topics.
Very nice group and smooth drive all the way around.
Fully recommended in case you come to Faroe, as you get to see a lot in a day.
Thanks.
Doug Halpin –
If you only have a short amount of time in Faroe Islands and you need a comprehensive tour, then take this tour. The seven hour tour lives up to the name of the tour “see it all”. Elsa Marie was born on the Islands and seems to know nearly everybody and has the contacts to make your day memorable. She supplies coffee and surprise snacks, there is a short lunch stop and there is plenty of opportunity to stop for pictures. Elsa Marie passes on historical, geological and business perspectives and has a deep love for the preservation of wildlife and native animals. Don’t miss this engaging, extensive, wonderful seven hour tour.

Naoki Hiramatsu (平松 直樹) –
I don’t usually enjoy guided tours because I prefer exploring on my own, but this was genuinely THE highlight of our family’s trip to the Faroe Islands.
The scenery was, of course, unforgettable. Seeing places like Tindhólmur, Múlafossur Waterfall, and Tjørnuvík was absolutely breathtaking. But what made this tour so special was our guide Elsa Maria. She was incredibly warm, funny, and easy to talk to, and it never felt like we were just listening to a guide recite facts. Her personal stories about growing up in the Faroe Islands and sharing the culture, traditions, and everyday life made the islands feel so much more human.
I especially appreciated how she explained topics like the Faroese hunting traditions with honesty and cultural context. It challenged some of my preconceptions and gave me a much deeper appreciation for the people and their way of life.
The pacing was excellent, especially considering how much we saw in around seven hours. The small group made everything feel personal, the vehicle was comfortable, and Elsa Maria knew all the best viewpoints and photo spots.
This tour was worth every penny. We left with incredible memories, a much deeper understanding of the Faroe Islands, and a genuine desire to come back again. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
Michael Austria –
Amazing tour, Maria was such a great tour guide. Weather was perfect when we did the tour, so we were able to see everything and made some more additional stops along the way. Definitely recommended.
Divina –
I’ve been an avid travel and been through a lot of tours. This tour is by far the best of all the best, our tour guide Jens Peturs is very knowledgeable, organized and the best. The whole tour covered a lot of nice interesting places, it’s worth it and I would highly recommend. It deserves more than 5 stars rating.
Andrew W –
This was a fantastic tour. Elsa Maria was an amazing guide; super knowledgeable and friendly. This was an unforgettable experience seeing the beauty of the Faroe Islands with a like minded group of fun-loving individuals. I highly recommend this tour.
Julia –
This was a great experience. The guides were knowledgable, friendly, a joy to hang out with, and gave a really excellent tour. The itinerary covered all the must see spots, with interesting history and lots of personal attention (including fun treat breaks and making sure everyone got great photos!) Highly recommend!
Daniel –
I had a fabulous day trip with Jens Peter. I was looking for a comprehensive tour while I was on the Faroe Islands for a few days and I’m so glad I picked this one. While it was a little bit expensive, it was still cheaper than a lot of the other tours, and it is simply the case in the Faroe Islands that things can be costly. Jens Peter was an amazing guide – friendly, good-humoured, incredibly knowledgeable and very upbeat. And all the places he took us to were breathtaking. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anybody.
Torben Goldin –
Great tour with Jens Peter as a guide. Very knowledgeable and kind. A pleasure to spend a day with in beautiful surroundings. Could not be better!
Nicola Ormonde –
This was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish.
Our guide, Jens Petur, was exceptionally knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the Faroe Islands. His storytelling brought each location to life, adding depth and context that made the landscapes even more memorable. I came away not just having seen beautiful places, but truly understanding something about the culture, history, and character of the islands.
The group size was ideal, just 9 people, which made the experience feel personal, relaxed, and easy to engage with both the guide and the surroundings.
The places we visited were genuinely breathtaking, with dramatic scenery that felt almost unreal at times. Every stop offered something different, and the whole day was well paced and thoughtfully organized.
This tour is especially valuable if you’re short on time in the Faroe Islands or don’t have access to your own transport. It takes the stress out of planning while still delivering a rich and immersive experience.
Overall, it was a flawless day out and one I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Faroes.
Hsu Wentao –
I’m from Taiwan, and my wife and I recently participated in the Outstanding 7 Hour “See It All” Faroe Islands Tour. The sights were absolutely beautiful, and on the way back, they even took us to two more attractions – a nice bonus! I highly recommend it.
Elsa Maria was an excellent guide. Next time I go to the Faroe Islands, I’ll definitely sign up for her day trips around the Faroe Islands.
Luz martinez –
Hicimos el tour con Elsa Maria, fue una gran experiencia , ella es una excelente guía 🤩 nos hizo sentir parte de la Isla . Recomiendo sin duda, aparte los lugares son una belleza ! 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇮🇹🇮🇹
Kamla –
The tour was simply amazing. Faroe Islands is a spectacular place and the best travel I’ve ever had. Jens Peturs is one of the best guides. Friendly, knowledgeable and has a treasure trove of personal stories that goes back generations! Thank you Jens Peturs.
Yulia –
We really enjoyed this tour. Thanks to our guide Jens Peturs for a good time and a lot of valuable facts and information about the Faroese culture. The tour provides a good opportunity to “see it all” in one trip.
Megan Grieve –
I did both the ‘Majestic 7 Hour Tour to the Northern Islands’ and the ‘Outstanding 7 Hour “See It All” Faroe Islands Tour’.
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved both, but my favourite was the Northern Islands tour (I preferred the pace of the tour, the landscapes and the opportunity to have fresh fish for lunch was life changing). However, I got to see PUFFINS on the ‘See It All’ tour which I LOVED🐧
My tour guide for both tours was Elsa. I cannot begin to explain how absolutely amazing she was. She was BEYOND knowledgeable but in a local way (I left the tour feeling like I knew some local secrets). She also had a great sense of humour and was extremely kind (I needed some extra bathroom stops during the first tour and she was SUPER accommodating).
I cannot recommend booking through Guide to Faroe Islands enough. You will not be disappointed. I will remember these tours for life. Thank you😊🫧🌷🧚♀️🇫🇴
natalie mcgettigan –
Elsa Maria was an excellent guide. Her bus was very comfortable and she made the group feel very welcome. She had plenty of interesting stories and gave us lots of opportunities to capture the lovely scenery. This is an excellent way to see a lot easily in a single day.

uh Very lucky journey in the Faroe Island .cause uh we travel to the Denmark we will only spend the two days in the Faroe Island, but at these two day we get this the travel and we meet the only one the sunny day during the whole month. We face a very very good views in this guide journey. Yeah we loved it
Ian (UK) –
We were in the Faroe Islands for just 1 week and it was our first visit here. We did not hire a car, but we wanted to see as much of the islands as we could and learn more about them so we could return again. This is a fantastic tour, which takes in not only the key sites we visited but passing through so many other fascinating places en-route. Peter was our guide (alongside a second group led by Elsa) he was really engaging and offered up so many interesting and lived experiences of his life in the islands. He also was keen to listen to and answer so many of our questions. We saw so much and learned so much on this tour, yes there is so much to take in and so much beauty its almost overwhelming, but it means we cannot wait to return and visit the places with more time. Also the lunch arrangements were perfect – such great location and menu. Definitely recommend this tour for first time visitors, you will fall in love with the islands like we did.
David Donaldson –
We had a great day on the island bus tour, lovely country and much to see .
Elsa was very knowledgeable about the Faroes and we enjoyed her chat and the rest of group chat.
It is a full day and much to see and take in so the follow up video was a bonus.
Looking forward to going back to the Faroes.
Katerina-Emilia –
The trip was amazing!
Our guide, Jens Peturs, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about both his country and his job. It was clear that he genuinely enjoyed spending the day with us. He shared fascinating stories, provided a wealth of information about the Faroe Islands, and was happy to answer every question we had.
The small group size made it easy for everyone to get to know each other, and it almost felt like a private tour. We visited breathtaking places, and Jens made the most of every minute, ensuring we had an unforgettable experience.
I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. If you are visiting the Faroe Islands, make this the first tour you book. It is the perfect introduction to this incredible destination!
Lisbeth Sølver –
Det var en fantastisk tur, som helt indfriede forventningerne. Jeg er meget glad for oplevelsen og de mange informationer, som Lars Peter hele tiden gav os.
God stemning i bilen.
Ning –
The tour was a really great experience where you get the chance to visit many gorgeous places across Faroe islands, which might not be in your to-go list before. Jens is a really nice and funny guide and gave us a lot of introduction along the way.
It’s highly recommend.
Tiffany –
OK, you can’t really “see it all” in only one day, but you get to see a ton! Everyone says you need a car to explore the islands and while I see how it is probably easiest to have your own car, those who don’t have one can gain a lot from this one day excursion. For those who do have a car, book this early on in your trip so you can figure out where else you want to go and where you might want to return on your own. The tour guide, whose family has lived in the Faroe Islands going back many generations, was incredibly knowledgeable and is a wonderful resource. Highly recommended!
Roland Bisewski –
Although seeing everything is impossible no matter the country, we managed to explore Faroe Islands in a way that I completely did not expect. I booked this trip for Saksun only yet she brought us to most spectacular viewpoint of my entire six days stay, allowed us to behold unique cloud formations, kept us entertained with her energeting demeanor and engaging storytelling. Good driving, approachibility – I could ask any questions, socialize among others. Then she brought us to the restaurant which price-wise was not as insane as restaurants in Thorshavn – moreover it was spacious, amazing soup, salmon and dessert. Meeting the owner was also cool.

I had an amazing experience on my tour of the Faroe Islands, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, Jens Peturs.
He was perfectly punctual at pickup and incredibly kind and engaging throughout the entire 8-hour tour. His explanations were informative yet never overwhelming—quite the opposite, actually. He shared so many interesting details that kept the tour dynamic and enjoyable from start to finish.
It was clear how much he loves his country, and his deep knowledge of the islands really enriched the experience. We were also a very small group (just three guests), which made everything feel more personal and allowed for great interaction and conversation with Jens.
I’m truly grateful to him for such a beautiful and memorable experience exploring the Faroe Islands. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Graham Hatton –
We had a lovely day exploring the Faroe Islands! Elsa was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable of the Islands and their history. The trip takes in many miles but there were frequent stops where we could get out, stretch our legs and admire the scenery. We also stopped at a really nice restaurant for lunch which was in a lovely spot. Following the trip Elsa sent out a video of the route with photos from the day which was very interesting and a great souvenir of the trip.

Maria Galletti –
I had the greatest pleasure of being on a tour with Elsa Maria in the Faroe Islands — The Full Day ‘See It All’ Faroe Islands Tour, offered through Guide of Faroe Islands.
Elsa Maria was engaging and had a great sense of humour, but her greatest quality was how well-informed she is about her country. I was so immersed in her stories. She was also very frank — she mentioned all the good, but also some parts and practices of her country that other guides might have glossed over or omitted entirely.
She also came across as genuinely kindhearted. She would help strangers along our route, help distressed animals, and visibly cringe when tourists stepped into grassy meadows — yet say nothing so as not to cause hard feelings. She was genuinely proud of the islands and everything they have achieved with such a small population.
When you’re tasked with explaining and representing your country, it has to come from a real place — and with her, it did. I appreciated her outright affection for her country even more after moving on to Iceland, where my next tour guide spent most of the time talking about himself and even insulted a country by saying it was the same as its neighbour. Every country has its own identity!
Her approach to guiding is rare. I wish her all the best ❤️

Margarita –
Thank you Elsa Marie for an amazing tour. Everything was perfect and I had a great time. When I arrived to my hotel I tried to book another one, Sandoy island but unfortunately it was fullbooked. Next time.😀
MASSIMO –
our trip was amazing and wonderful: plentiful and very detailed, to know better the Føroyar islanda
We were three: me from Italy and two women from Argentina and USA/Estonia
Our guide, Jens-Petur, was really extraordinary, super !..very kind and truly informed about everything related to Faroese places, landscapes and culture !
I enjoyed very much
Wendy Kek –
Elsa Maria is one of the best tour guides I have experienced. She combines a great sense of humour with strong knowledge of the region and excellent driving skills. Throughout the tour, she provided convenient point-to-point pick-up within Tórshavn, making the experience smooth and well organised.
This tour is compact and well suited for travellers on a short trip to the Faroe Islands who want to cover the key highlights efficiently. The itinerary is time-effective and covers many of the main attractions with stunning scenery throughout.
However, it does not include the hike to the viewpoint of Lake Sørvágsvatn. For those specifically hoping to capture that iconic perspective, you may need to plan an additional visit separately. That said, this does not take away from the overall completeness and uniqueness of the tour.
Overall, we were able to see many major attractions, enjoy breathtaking landscapes, and make good use of time. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a well-paced and efficient introduction to the Faroe Islands.
Pooja –
Amazing tour with Elsa Maria!! Maria is a wonderful guide. She was very energetic and kept us engaged throughout the tour with interesting stories about Faroe Islands. She took us to an amazing place for lunch and also treated us with some Nordic specialities. Would highly recommend this tour! Thank you so much Elsa!❤️
Anne –
A wonderful tour with Elsa Marie as our guide. Not only did we experience the beauty of the Faroe Islands but we also learned a lot about the history and culture of the Faroese people. A day to remember!
Gordon –
Really enjoyed.my.day out with this tour. Weather wasn’t very good in the morning but afternoon.was beautiful. Sven was full of stories & tales…
Very knowledgeable
Highly recommended
Dhriti Khanna –
Excellent tour and lovely guide – 100% recommend! Beautiful country and people
Gertie –
My husband I are slow travellers, we use public transport and taxis to move from A to B. To get an overview of the highlights of the Faroer, we booked this trip, a little bit reluctantly.
We had a wonderful day. Our trip leader Elsa Maria was a teacher before she became a guide. This was of great advantage. Instead of ackwardly sitting in a small bus with 10 strangers, we became a group and we felt comfortable and chatted with each other as if we were a school class.
But the trip was not meant for socialising, but to see and learn something of the Faroer. This we did. Elsa Maria is a very skilled driver, she told us a lot about the Faroer and how it has changed over the last 50 years. She also told us about the traditions that are cherished by the Faroers.
For lunch she brought us to a lovely restaurant (price notbincluded in the trip), we could order from the menu about 1/2 hour before we got to the restaurant, therefore we didn’t have to waste time waiting for the food.
We could just enjoy, Elsa Maria was taking care of the planning, the driving and pur safety.
We had a lovely day and would recommend this trip Elsa Maria and her brother to everyone.
Eddy –
Amazing tour! You are able to see everything in one day and don’t feel rushed. Jens and his family have been in the Faroe Islands for centuries so he knew everything about the islands and was very informative. Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in visiting the Faroe Islands.
Samantha Soo –
Elsa Maria is an incredible tour guide who will certainly provide you with a day full of adventure, excitement, and laughter. From her knowledge of Faroese lands, people, and culture, to her ability to fit as much sight-seeing as possible in the tour time, you will end your day with stories, a smile, and a full camera roll. My little group only had one day to explore the islands, and it was a tough choice on how best to spend our limited time in a place where the options are limitless. I am deeply grateful for our decision to take a day tour with Elsa Maria. If you are wanting to get the most out of your time on the islands, do yourselves a favor and book the “See it All” tour!
Mhairi Beaton –
Just wanted to thank Elsa Marie for an amazing tour of the islands on Sunday 24th of May. I have done similar tours in many places around the world and my day touring the Faroe Islands with Elsa Marie was by far the best tour I have ever done.
Of course, the Faroe Islands are spectacular and we were blessed with beautiful sunny weather but what made it special was having Elsa Marie as our guide. She is knowledgeable, w a great communicator but most of all fun – just wonderful!
All best wishes

What a wonderful way to get a flavor for the Faroe Islands as seen through the eyes of a local! We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We were promptly picked up and then transported around the Faroe Islands while getting great stories and information about the Islands. We saw many historical and iconic points of interest. The lunch stop was not only a small history lesson, the food was delicious! Everything about this tour was wonderful.
Maria –
We were four and booked this trip on the first day of our stay. Elsa Maria made it a wonderful first day on the islands—we learned so much and we loved how she also shared personal stories and experiences. That made it very special!
Elsa Maria was also great at organizing the group and kept everyone together and even found the time to help us out sorting our bus time table for the next day.
Thank you so much for a perfect welcome, Elsa Maria!
Roland –
Very energetic and dynamic guide. She showed us one of the most beautiful sights. Brought us to a very good restaurant and gave us some nordic snacks and specialities. Very transparent about reality and engaging storytelling. Faroe islands are a unique treasure of Europe and Elsa will show you why ♡
Túsund takk,

What an amazing tour with Elsa on 13 May 2026.
Weather was not that perfect that day but we really enjoyed the tour !
Elsa was explaining a lot about her country and culture, even sharing her life journey.
What a lovely country she lives in and we really envy her
We stopped for lunch at a cafe. Fish Soup and Scallop Salad were good.
I wish one day me and my partner could go back to Faroe Islands
Thank you Elsa for looking after us and wish you all the best !

I would like to thank Elsa Marie for being a wonderful and fun tour guide , the day was amazing , Elsa’s sense of humour was one of the highlights of the day also !
Highly recommended!
Thank you again
Pam –
Great tour on 26th May 2026. Group of 6 from 5 different countries. Luckily for me all understood English.
Lots of stops and the weather was good ! Cold winds but mostly dry & clear.
The guide was great, lots of information, we saw so much. And stopped for a quick lunch at a very special restaurant. He arranged amazing fish soup which everyone enjoyed!
Geir –
A very eventful tour with a good giude and good logistics. RECOMMENDED!
Michal –
I really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Faroe Islands. It was a fantastic way to see a wide range of beautiful places in just one day, and everything was very well organized. I felt like I got a great overview of the islands and experienced much more than I would have on my own.
What truly made the experience exceptional was our guide, Elsa. She was absolutely amazing, incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to talk to. She shared many interesting insights about the islands, their culture, and daily life, and conversations with her were a real pleasure throughout the day.
Overall, a great experience. Thank you for such a memorable tour!
YING –
Our guide used to be a PE teacher.
She was full of energy, warm.
She took our group to so many cool, famous spots. Along the way, we stopped at a famous café-restaurant. I loved their fish soup—so good!
She drove for hours, talked and explained, then hiked with us through mountain trails. Never seemed tired. Just kept going with a big smile.
We felt happy, full, and well taken care of. And the natural views? Simply stunning.
A trip to remember. 🏞️🐟🥣
Siv Elisabeth –
We had a great time! A super guide, who talked with a lot of love and humor about the islands, the history, traditions and culture. We saw many beautifull spots and breathtaking views. Thank you Elsa Marie!!
Alberta Kanayurak –
Excellent tour with Elsa. Highly recommend this tour as you see so much in a day. Thank you for showing me your wonderful islands such an amazing day trip.
Julia Glassco –
Absolutely wonderful tour. Jens was an amazing guide: friendly, easygoing and kept us captivated the whole time. Thank you!
Jennifer –
A fabulous tour in a beautiful place. Elsa Marie worked hard to give us interesting and engaging tour of her homeland. We say stunning places and learned about the history and culture of the Faroe Islands in a thoughtful and respectful way from a local. It exceeded my expectations and I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting, but doesn’t have a lot of time to explore. Thank you Elsa Marie.
Paula McGrath –
Outstanding. Elsa shared her deep knowledge of the Faroe Islands with grace, warmth and humour. And supreme driving skills! Highly recommend.
Angie Teater –
What!! A!! Day!!!! As a solo female traveler who doesn’t drive, I felt like this was the perfect tour for me to experience as much of the Faroe’s as possible. My expectations were not only met…they were far (far!) exceeded. Elsa is the best guide I’ve ever encountered. She weaves stories of local tradition, folklore, and personal ancestral history to make each location come alive. We stopped often to get photos and even pulled off to see rare Faroese horses. The lunch stop was superb…I anticipated a little cafe with sandwiches but it turned out to be one of the best meals I had in the Faroe’s. By the end of the day, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much.
I’d highly recommend anyone to take this tour, especially if you’re interested in understanding the culture and history of The Faroe Islands. Thank you, Elsa, for an amazing day!
Natasha M –
Worth it!
Sharon Caldwell –
I had a wonderful experience on my tour. Elsa Maria was a wealth of information and anecdotes. It is always a treat to learn about a place from a local, and she has deep roots and a deep affection for her country. I initially thought I could use public transportation to see many of the sites I wished to see. This is not possible. The bus system is not for tourists, but geared for school and work hours. I was not comfortable renting a car due to the very narrow, twisty and turny roads (no shoulders and no guard rails). So I was very glad I booked this day tour to see many of the places on my wish list! We had beautiful weather, a great group of people, a comfortable van, lots of stops for photos and to stretch your legs, and we covered a vast amount of the islands. I definitely recommend this tour!
maj –
We had an amazing tour! Elsa Maria was amazing! I can’t believe how much beauty we saw in one day. I am just so in awe of this place, and she made the experience even more fulfilling. thank you!
Karin –
Great tour! The weather was, well, typical for the Faroe Islands but Elsa Maria’s energy made up for it. Understandably, most of the time was spent in the car, enjoying pristine nature through the window and listening to Elsa Maria’s stories. Besides quick photo stops, there were a few stops where we walked around (if I remember correctly, Gjógv, Tjørnuvík, Saksun, Gásadalur (to the waterfall) and the visit to the café for lunch). The tour finished around 15:30 in Gásadalur, meaning that, if you go back to Tórshavn with the tour group, it will be around 16:30. My favourites were Saksun and the Faroese lunch.
Kubilay C. –
Amazing trip! The guides were very punctual and full of knowledge. Not a single boring moment. We got to see most of what the Faroe Islands have to offer for a very reasonable price. We had a great time with Elsa Maria and her brother.
Petar –
This tour was absolutely incredible and without a doubt one of the highlights of my trip. The experience lasted more than eight hours, yet every single moment was filled with breathtaking scenery, interesting stops, and unforgettable experiences. We were able to see so much of what the islands have to offer, and it truly felt like a complete and well-organized adventure from beginning to end.
Our guide was outstanding — extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help. She shared so much interesting information about the islands, the culture, and the history, which made the experience even more special. She also kindly helped take photos for me, which I really appreciated and which made the trip even more enjoyable.
Another thing I loved was the group size. We were only four people, which was honestly perfect — not too crowded and not too small. It created a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere while still feeling social and fun.
Be prepared because this tour is absolutely packed with activities, spectacular views, and endless photo opportunities. Around every corner there was something beautiful to see. The landscapes were stunning and constantly changing, making the entire day exciting from start to finish.
I enjoyed this tour tremendously and would recommend it to absolutely anyone visiting the islands. If you want to experience as much as possible in one day while having an amazing guide and a fantastic atmosphere, this is the perfect tour.
Cal Smith –
I really enjoyed my day with Elsa Marie.
She did a great job presenting a most interesting one-day itinerary for the Faroe Islands.
I found her narratives about the various locations to be very informative. She delivered what she promised.
Liliana Ortiz –
Great and beautiful tour Maria gas us at Faroe Islands! She is great, excellent explanation, nice and I highly recommend this tour with her!
Love you country and hope to come
Back soon! For the third time and
counting jaja
Greeting from the Mexican girls Lili and Vero
Urja Dedakia –
The Faroe Islands is truly a beautiful country. Although the weather wasn’t exactly in our favour, my guide for the tour, Elsa Maria B., made sure we still had a memorable day and an amazing overall trip.
To be honest, I didn’t expect too much from the tour at first, but it turned out to be one of the best memories from my travels. Elsa is an incredibly dedicated and passionate guide. She was always open to questions, and what surprised me most was how genuinely curious she was about her guests and where we came from.
I got to learn about the Faroe Islands from the perspective of a local, visit so many beautiful spots, stop for tea and coffee breaks, and even try Faroese akvavitt, which was absolutely amazing. In just 7 hours, I truly felt like I saw the very best of the islands, so the tour definitely lives up to its title.
I would absolutely love to visit again sometime in the future. Highly recommended!
Adam Carpentier –
I highly recommend this tour for your trip to the Faroe Islands! I took this tour recently, and Elsa was incredibly knowledgeable and shared plenty of fun facts along the drive. While the weather was a bit cold and rainy on the day I booked my tour, I still had tons of fun. Elsa makes plenty of stops along the way and will even alter the tour slightly to fit the sights and information you find interesting. The drive is incredibly scenic, and I was able to see so much in just a day. Else is a true local, so you can bet she also had some great recommendations for food and other sights for the rest of your trip!
Ólafur Páll Vignisson –
We were 8 friends from Iceland who went on a sightseeing tour. Elsa Maria was an excellent guide; she told us many interesting and informative things about the Faroe Islands and showed us most of the Faroes’ hidden gems. The day was very memorable and enjoyable in every way, and it is very easy to recommend this tour
Paul Telford-Dinsmore –
A wonderful tour of the Faroe Islands with my host and guide, Elsa Maria. She was an excellent host, who was truly knowledgeable about the places we visited, and the history of the Islands. She added a good sense of humour to the tour (“including a tongue in cheek” test on how good a student I was… 1973)! Ten out of ten for the tour and I would defiantly recommend this tour to visitors to the Islands.
ken –
Elsa Maria was entertaining, helpful and energetic. She brought us to spectacular sights around the Faroe Islands. She also provided coffee and tea and snacks along the way which was really appreciated.
Nora Martinez –
Very interesting. Elsa Maria was terrific. Fun tour. Would definitely recommend!
Priscilla –
Outstanding tour which gives you the opportunity to see so many scenic spots around the islands (I feel like I have been to every postcard from the Faroe), but also delve into the history of the islands, their traditions as well as their current state. And you will get the most amazing pictures of these places but also of you thanks to the wonderful guide Elsa Maria.
Victor –
Elsa Maria var den bästa guiden jag har haft. Hon är kunnig, lyhörd, trevlig och väldigt noggrann. Jag hade en jättefin upplevelse under hela turen och lärde mig mycket om Färöarna. Tack för allt, Elsa Maria!
Lene –
Fantastic tour! Had a great day!
Yin Wa Chan –
An enriching tour, the guide started showing us around even while still in Tórshavn. He was so enthusiastic to tell his story and promote the Faroe Islands, sharing both information you can find online and fun local facts. Everyone was taken care of. My request for a special arrangement via email was quickly responded to, and that saved me a lot of effort and money.
Rhiannon –
This trip was the highlight of our trip to the Faroes. We didn’t have long on the island but we really felt like we got a lot from this tour. We saw some fantastic sites and learnt loads about life on the Faroes. It was well organised and started on time – totally recommend
Rahul Chawla –
It was a wonderful day trip that covered all the key spots perfectly. Elsa was an exceptional tour guide whose knowledge truly added to the experience. The little surprises along the way made it even more special. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Faroe…
Karen Morris –
This tour was one of my favorite tours ever and I have been to 140 countries so far. Elsa Maria made it so special with her commentary, her willingness to take our photos (and they came out so beautifully!), her restaurant choice, just everything. It’s very obvious she cares about the Faroese culture and animals. She even stopped to help a Faroese horse get untangled from a broken fence line. This is a great day trip to get a sense of the Faroe Islands. Wish we could’ve spent more time and gone on more tours. There is no place on earth like the Faroe Islands.
Barbara Webber –
The Faroe Islands was a long held dream to visit and my 2 guided trips with Elsa Maria….The See It All & Majestic Islands of North tours were AMAZING. As a guide she was both informative and fun to spend the day with. Elsa, is proud and passionate about her homeland and telling stories of life in this remote place in the world. Each trip was made special by Elsa she’s just fabulous! Barbara Webber (New Zealand)…other end of the world..Ha! Ha!
Marjolein and Barbara –
We had a great time! A super guide, who talked with a lot of love and humor about the islands, the history, traditions, culture. We saw so many beautifull spots and breathtaking views. What an experiance! Thank you Elsa Marie!!
Ben –
What an experience!! Elsa was amazing and so knowledgeable. She is a wonderful storyteller with a flair for the dramatic. I’ve gained a friend for life and can’t wait to return!
Kim –
It was my first trip to the Faroe Islands and Jens Petur was an excellent guide to on the Northern Islands tour. We had lots of opportunity to walk and see really amazing scenery and other islands from the viewpoints Jens Petur brought us to on the island of Vidoy, Bordoy, Kunoy and Esturoy. I’m already thinking of a revisit to the islands where I will definitely use Guide to Faroe Islands for the wonderfully warm and knowledgeable guides to the islands.
Michelle –
What a fantastic day I had with Jens Petur on the Majestic 7 hour Tour of the North Islands! I saw more in a short time frame than I thought possible. Jens brought us to five islands and showed us viewpoints to seven more. He took us to off the radar areas and we finished up the day with a delicious lunch at a terrific cafe. Jens Petur was friendly, knowledgeable and super kind. He knew loads about the history of the islands and was generous in spirit. I highly recommend this tour.
Linda Phillips –
Jens Petur was an excellent guide. He was very organized, timely, caring, very knowledgeable and a good driver. Well paced. I would highly recommend this tour and guide!
Diego Rivas –
Great tour. I had a fantastic guide, Jens Peter, with great knowledges, very professional and we had a wonderful weather to explore the northern part of the Faroe. Professional organised and well done by the organisers.
It was a very smooth drive around and the spots visited and where we stopped were well worth.
Fully recommended in case you come to Faroe, as you get to see a lot in a day.
Thanks.
Kathrin Ayer –
If you have come to the Faroe Islands, you have to do the Northern Islands tour. You will get a different view. The region full of history, dramatic views, and untrammeled nature, and yet the tour is never rushed. My tour guide was Elsa and she is amazingly knowledgeable. We got to see historic ruins, houses, animals and the most beautiful northern village. I felt like she gave me a real introduction to not just the postcard version of the Faroe Islands, but to the country.
Tiffany –
If you want to visit the Faroe Islands but don’t have the time or means to rent a car, this is an excellent tour that will give you a view of the northern islands. It was pouring rain for part of our tour, but we still managed to see loads of beautiful sights and our guide was really strategic about working around the weather. Highly recommended.
Megan –
I did both the ‘Majestic 7 Hour Tour to the Northern Islands’ and the ‘Outstanding 7 Hour “See It All” Faroe Islands Tour’.
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved both, but my favourite was the Northern Islands tour (I preferred the pace of the tour, the landscapes and the opportunity to have fresh fish for lunch was life changing).
My tour guide for both tours was Elsa. I cannot begin to explain how absolutely amazing she was. She was BEYOND knowledgeable but in a local way (I left the tour feeling like I knew some local secrets). She also had a great sense of humour and was extremely kind (I needed some extra bathroom stops during the first tour and she was SUPER accommodating).
I cannot recommend booking through Guide to Faroe Islands enough. You will not be disappointed. I will remember these tours for life. Thank you😊🫧🌷🧚♀️🇫🇴
Patricia Sinclair –
It was everything & more.
Delighted I chose this tour & met wonderful people from around the world.
Kit –
I have a great day and great guide today. He is really knowledgeable and fun and caring. I learn a lot of these places and as well my guide is very passionate about this country as he born and raise here. His family his life and everything related to here. I see a real local telling me stories. I have a wonderful experience with him and with these beautiful islands.
Benedikt –
I really enjoyed this excellent, authentic, insightful and impressive tour!
Tarra –
We had a great tour of the northern islands with Jens Petur. He has a deep knowledge of the islands and truly enjoys sharing it with others.
We had ample time at all our stops – we never felt rushed. Pick up and drop off were on time. Jens Petur provided a roadside coffee/tea break and made reservations at a local cafe for lunch.
The Faroe Islands are beautiful. I look forward to another trip here and
I would gladly tour with Jens Petur again!
Birgitta Evengard –
Had a wonderful tour with Elsa-Maria to the more rugged, very beautiful northern islands. We were three guests, had a rewarding day with lots of info snd lovely spits. Highly recommendable tour w Elsa-Maria
Birgitta Evengard –
Could not have had a better guide than Elsa-Maria. We were three in her car and The guide gave us a lot of facts but also stories from everyday life. The nature on these islands is rougher, very interesting. Had a very fun, very rewarding day
Rosangela Chaves –
We were lucky enough to explore the beautiful Northern Islands with Elsa Maria. We greatly appreciated her energy, her kindness, and her knowledge, which made our tour full of fun and learning.
Cheryl –
Our tour with Jens Petir to the Northem Islands was spectacular he is very knowledgeable about all the towns and sites along the way. The weather cooperated. There were so many scenes to take pictures of. OMG what a beautiful place. Thank you for the tour.
Daniel West –
Fantastic guide and a fantastic trip!
Jaye –
Elsa is a wonderful guide and she is so passionate being a wonderful tour guide and very knowledgeable about her home. She didn’t care about the time and just wanted us to be able to enjoy every single spot. She is also funny and good at breaking the silence. She used to be a teacher and took care of us like her pupals, prepared coffee/tea and biscuits for us, it felt like a happy school trip!
Barbara Webber –

Lesley Inglis –
Another great tour with Elsa Maria! She is a fantastic guide, a font of knowledge and knows all the best photo stops. This is a great way of seeing a lot in a short time. I did a tour with Elsa Maria last year and came back again this year to do more!
Lorraine –
The tour was a fantastic way of seeing the dramatic scenery of the northern islands. Eilsa Maria was an excellent guide; very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We enjoyed spending time with other visitors to the islands
Frederic –
Nous avons fait les 2 excursions. Celle du nord ouest et nord est. Les deux étaient excellentes et magnifiques. Des paysages a couper le souffle a chaque tour. Un très grand remerciement pour Elsa Maria (natif des iles) elle a su nous faire découvrir les Féroés avec l’amour de son pays , plein d’anecdotes et de fun. Vraiment une belle personne qui a illuminé notre voyage par sa gentillesse. Merci a toi Elsa Maria. Fred et Phillip
YU CHE LIN –
This tour is well worth taking and offers stunning views of the North Faroe Islands.
Our guide, Elsa Maria, is incredibly dedicated and responsible,
ensuring everyone learns about the history and culture of the Faroe Islands.
The Faroe Islands are breathtakingly beautiful.
It’s amazing,this tour,this place,this islands.
Thanks Elsa Maria.
Audric Munten –
Great day around the north of Faroes, sitting in a comfy car. Tour was maintained although I was alone. I know that for larger groups they use a mini van which is equally comfortable even if you have big legs like me. The guide is friendly and will make regular stops, assist with pictures and answer all questions you may have about these beautiful islands
Deborah Wirsu –
Wow, what a wonderful day with our delightful guide, Jens Petur. We were very lucky with the weather – the early morning rain – that looked as though it might continue all day – cleared, offering spectacular views all the way. Low cloud that sometimes blanketed the mountain tops created a wonderful effect that actually enhanced the views. And the heavy rain overnight meant we saw many spectacular waterfalls. This tour is well-planned, with timely stops for coffee, snacks, and lunch. Jens Petur went out of his way to make sure we all (small group of four) had a fabulous time.
Beth Quilty –
Picked us up from hotel promptly. Guide was very knowledgeable & helpful. Had a wonderful time & took us to many places. Would highly recommend
Linda A. –
This is by far one of the best tours I’ve done. I went with Elsa. She’s just incredible. She’s very knowledgeable about the islands. She explains things very clearly. She has the best positive energy and she will take immaculate photos for you. She picked me up on time and made sure to drop me off at the hotel as well. I truly enjoyed getting to see the northern islands with Elsa and would highly recommend this tour.
Adrian –
The conditions for the tour weren’t exactly ideal—thick clouds and rain. But Elsa Maria managed to keep us motivated throughout the day and showed us the incredible landscapes of the north as best as she could. I would have loved to experience the region in good weather; it would have been incredible. I hope to have better luck next time.
Laura –
Wow – thanks for a wonderful tour. A very relaxed day with outstanding scenery even despite the rain. I came away with so much more understanding about this magical place . Thanks so much Elsa Maria, very much appreciated.
David and Maureen Bryant –
Simply outstanding tour led by a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. Cannot recommend this tour more highly. If you are coming to the Faroe Islands you must choose to go with Elsa Maria.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
Gina Hutchinson –
Elsa was brilliant and gave an excellent commentary about the places we visited. Her hospitality was superb.
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 😊😊
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!
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
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!
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!
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!

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.
