I travelled solo and joined 3 day tours. I really enjoyed them, especially with our guide Jens Petur. He shared lots of interesting stories and took us to some amazing hidden gems. I absolutely loved the Faroe Islands and would definitely recommend these tours! Hope to come back again someday!
Dhriti Khanna –
Excellent tour and lovely guide – 100% recommend! Beautiful country and people
Rohit Bagchi –
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 .
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.
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😀
Kseniia Troshkina –
A very insightful tour with many fascinating places to visit. Our guide, Elsa Maria, is a very knowledgeable local expert who shared a wealth of interesting facts about her country and its very rich culture.
This tour is an absolute must for anyone visiting the Faroe Islands for the first time. Highly recommended.
Burak Temelli –
We had a fantastic experience exploring the Faroe Islands with Elsa. She was an excellent guide — friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about her beautiful country.
We spent a day touring with her and saw so much more than we could ever have discovered on our own. From incredible landscapes and tiny villages to some of the hidden gems of the islands, everything was very well organised and relaxed. Elsa gave us plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, take photos and learn about life in the Faroe Islands.
What made the tours particularly special was how personal they felt. It never felt rushed or like a standard tourist tour. We felt as though we were exploring the islands with someone who genuinely wanted us to experience the very best of her home.
A wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our trip. We would highly recommend Elsa to anyone visiting the Faroe Islands.
thank you Elsa
Burak & Özlem
Karen Davies –
What a great tour. Jens Petrus was amazing! So much history, culture, and funny stories. Clearly, he loves this place! The scenery was stunning – mountains, waterfalls, villages. Taking a small group tour is perfect. We got to explore three islands, travel through the undersea tunnels and roundabout, small villages, high mountains, and learned so much about life on the Faroe Islands. We had a delicious lunch made of local seafood and sourdough bread. I’ve taken many tours in many countries. This is definitely one I’d recommend!
Sonya –
I was on the “see it all ” Faroe Islands tour that packs in the country’s most iconic sights with an exceptional, knowledgeable guide Elza Maria in September. Booking the Faroe Islands Highlights Tour via Guide to Faroe Islands is an absolute must. Navigating the winding roads, the tunnels, and remote terrain on your own can be stressful, but this trip (about 9 hours) made exploring effortless and deeply enriching. Elza was simply outstanding—friendly and an absolute wealth of knowledge about local history and Faroese culture. We stopped for a delicious salmon lunch at a beautiful historical cafe. Cruising through the sub- sea tunnels and winding mountain roads while listening to captivating stories made the day fly by. If you want a stress-free journey into the heart of Faroe islands with a top-notch guide, look no further. Highly recommended!

In August 2026, my husband and I took the “Elsa” Bus Tour of the Faroe Islands. Elsa made the experience truly memorable. She made everyone in the group feel comfortable, welcome and connected throughout the tour. Her explanations of the Island’s history were informative and engaging. We learned so much about the culture and way of life in the Faroe Islands.
I enjoyed her style, professionalism and genuine care for everyone on the tour.
Thank you Elsa for helping us create wonderful memories. The Faroe Islands are majestic and your guidance made the experience even more special. Take care.
Ray –
Our guide, Elsa, was energetic, highly dependable, and absolutely wonderful.
I joined this tour alone, and there were seven of us in total.
Since I was traveling solo and not confident in my driving, I didn’t rent a car, so it was super convenient to cover the highlights of the Faroe Islands all at once. The lunch at the cafe we stopped at was also delicious, making it a wonderful memory.
Claire –
I enjoyed a 10-person tour with Elsa Maria. Though the group was a bit larger than promised in the description, it was a well-planned tour that exceeded expectations. We received about 9 hours of sightseeing in all across 3 islands, and she made stops beyond the promised sites for good views. She provided invaluable local expertise and insights on Faroese history and culture.
Aleksandra Szer –
Great tour! I traveled solo and booked 3 day trips, two of them guided by Jens Petur who was knowdgeable and pleasant. Faroe Islands views are indeed jaw dropping and I got to see so many fantastic sites within several hours without having to drive and navigate. The only downside is the expensive price, but then, everything is expensive in the Faroe Islands. Highly recommend this tour
Blanca Garza –
An absolute highlight of our trip!We had the most incredible time exploring the Faroe Islands, all thanks to Elsa and her brother. From the moment the tour started, they made us feel incredibly welcome with their warmth, kindness, and wonderful hospitality.They are exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about their home. Not only did they take us to the most breathtaking, postcard-perfect viewpoints, but they also shared fascinating local stories and hidden gems that we never would have found on our own.Their energy was fantastic, the pacing of the tour was perfect, and they went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. If you are visiting the Faroe Islands, booking a tour with this amazing duo is an absolute must. Thank you both for making our trip so special!
Hing Ling Chan –
Elsa Maria is the best. She is so knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone in our group enjoyed the tour. Highly highly recommend this day tour!
Philippe Bize –
Thank you very much for this day in the Faroees
It was a pleasure to discover these islands and receive all these explanations.
The video with the route, the photos and the group photo is great.
Friendships and good luck.
Stephen Stohs –
During my recent visit to the Faroe Islands, I had the wonderful experience of taking the See It All Tour, led by guide and driver Elsa Maria. This was my third trip from California, USA to Scandinavia, following previous visits to Denmark and Norway. The first few days of my visit to the Faroes were rainy, but Friday August 21, the day of my See It All Tour, turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day.
Elsa picked up our group punctually on time and proceeded to drive us to many sites of great scenic beauty and cultural significance. As a former school teacher, Elsa began the tour by giving all of her guests the opportunity to introduce themselves. For the rest of the tour, she provided a running narrative of the sites along the way and where we stopped. As a Faroese native, her love and deep knowledge of her country was evident. She seemed to know all the residents we encountered on a first-name basis. She offered to take photos of our tour group members to help ensure we would have lasting memories of our experiences. She took us to a wonderful restaurant for a lunch stop. By the end of the day, all of those in our group had a lasting positive impression of the Faroe Islands. I highly recommend Elsa’s tour to anyone visiting the Faroes who has a day free to See It All.

Ray Lock –
A fantastic day out with the intensely passionate and proud Faroe Jens. A font of knowledge on history, geography and culture of the Islands you can tell he loves showing visitors the islands. What was booked as a 7 hour day turned into 9 hours seeing all the main points of interest on the Islands. If people are willing to see more Jens and his sister on the other minibus have no issue giving you more. Great trip where we felt we have seen a lot of the Islands and its culture. Highly recommend!
Esther –
Led by Elsa Maria was hands down the best decision of my entire trip! Being a Tórshavn native, her deep roots and love for the islands shine through every story she and her brothers share. She didn’t just drive us around, she brought the rich history, legends, movie attractions, and local culture of the Faroe Islands to life. Standing by the iconic Múlafossur waterfall, seeing the dramatic cliffs of Gjógv, and witnessing the massive Fossá waterfall left me completely speechless. Elsa Maria picked us up right from our accommodation in Tórshavn. Throughout the day, she went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable, gave us plenty of time to take photos, and curated the day with genuine warmth and care. If you want a comprehensive, deeply local, and utterly stunning introduction to the Faroe Islands, do not hesitate to book this tour with Elsa Maria. She and her brother are an absolute gem! Highest possible recommendation!
Zuanbin MO –
I came to the Faroe Islands for a conference, so I had limited time for sightseeing. That was why I chose the See It All tour. I am very grateful to Elsa for guiding the tour and helping me make the most of my day in the Faroe Islands.
During the tour, I was able to enjoy both the beautiful natural scenery and learn more about the local culture and way of life. I saw the unique landscapes of the Faroe Islands and was also lucky enough to see some lovely puffins.
Elsa was enthusiastic, cheerful, and patient throughout the day. She explained local traditions, customs, and everyday life in a very friendly and interesting way, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I love these stories.
Thanks for Elsa, for such a wonderful day. I hope I will have the chance to visit the Faroe Islands again in the future.
Xieze –
We had such a wonderful day on this tour! Maria was an amazing guide — incredibly friendly, warm, and knowledgeable. She told us so much about Faroese history, culture, traditions, local life, and many interesting stories along the way.
Even though it was raining, she made sure we could visit as many places as possible, and we still saw so much in just one day. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking! We also loved trying the delicious fish soup — a very special local experience.
The whole day felt relaxed, fun, and never rushed. As first-time visitors to the Faroe Islands, this tour was a perfect introduction and gave us a great overview of the islands. Maria really made the experience special with her kindness, enthusiasm, and knowledge.
Definitely worth it and highly recommended! Thank you, Maria, for a fantastic day!
Saskia –
“The “See It All Tour” was absolutely amazing, and we loved having Elsa Maria as our tour guide! It was wonderful to see so much of the Faroe Islands all in one day.”
Kind regards,
Saskia
MaE –
Great tour. You get to see a lot in several hours. Elsa Maria was a wonderful guide and an even better driver on some very narrow roads. Both Jens Petur and Elsa Maria provided in depth historical and general knowledge about the islands which was very interesting and entertaining. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want to see most of the note worthy sites in a short space of time and if you do this early in your trip, you can go back later to sites you want to visit in more depth.
Zi Chao –
We had a great day with Elsa Maria going around Faroe Islands. It also came with many surprises and impromptu sights. Would highly recommend! Skál!
Scott F. –
Great all around experience. Elsa Marie was conscience of our comfort and interests, always checking to make sure we were OK. She was extremely informative on what we witnessed on the tour and provided other interesting and valuable information on Faroese people and culture. We highly recommend this tour which Elsa Marie made so outstanding.
Nicole –
Elsa Maria and her brother were perfect guides. The tour was well planned and I felt like I was able to see and experience all the sights in one day. I would highly recommend to others.
Pete and Faye Coote –
We were picked up on time and had a great fun-fact tour across most of the islands. Our tour guide and driver, Jens Petur was attentive and understanding; one time, making an unscheduled stop to resolve my question. We had a delightful lunch at an old cod-factory, recently renovated to a luxury restaurant. So much to see, so much to absorb. The country is beautiful, the roads are well kept, the people are friendly and the food is delicious.
Thank you Elsa Maria and & Jens Petur
David/Paul –
Amazing tour. So glad we booked it as we couldn’t have seen everything in one day. We had information overload in the best way possible. Elsa was amazing. Nothing negative to say at all!
Mary-Anne Eriksen –
This trip was just amazing. Elsa Maria was a wonderful guide. All the stories and historytelling from way back in time, that she us gave during the day, caring for every single one of us, including everyone. All the stops during the day, one amazing spot after another. This is a must if you would like a guiding tour at the Faraoe Iclands. Absolutely recommandable.
Arnaud –
It was an amazing experience with Elsa Marie and all her knowledge about the Faroe Islands. It’s a great overview of the best places in the country. Of course, we sometimes don’t have as much time as we would like, but if you do this tour on your first day, you can go to the places you loved later on your trip.
We were also a very good group with so friendly people from a lot of different countries. Definitely a must-do !
Nathalie and Stéphane –
Just a few words to express how much we enjoyed our day with Jens Petur and Elsa Maria on their « see it all » tour in the Faroe Islands. We absolutely loved our experience. Such a great way to get an over view of several of the islands while exploring some specific note worthy spots in more detail. We learned so much about this beautiful country and we are in awe of all its beauty and uniqueness. We appreciated Jens Petur’s depth of historical and general knowledge as well as his love for his homeland. Both Jens Petur and Elsa Maria made everyone feel welcomed and engaged us all in the discoveries.
We highly recommend this experience.
Best wishes
Marinela –
A very enjoyable and well-organized tour, with the guide providing interesting explanations about all the places we visited. A wonderful experience.
Jimmy Dominic –
Many thanks to Elsa and her brother for taking care of us during the tour, showing us Faroe Islands unfathomable beauty and sharing the wonderful cultural insights. We had a great time and it was an unforgettable experience. I don’t think we had enough though and we are hopeful to make another trip in the future 🙂. Elsa is an awesome guide, highly recommended!
Jimmy + Wai Foong from Malaysia.
Esther –
Wonderful day with great guides, I learnt so much about life in the Faroe Isles from them. Really enjoyed it.
Kathryn –
This tour was excellent and took us all over the islands. We saw so much! It’s absolutely beautiful there. We did miss going to Torshavn only because our port time was short and we had to get back to the ship. Both Elsa Maria and her brother were great at explaining things and pointing out points of interest. I highly recommend this tour!
Brano –
Elsa Maria and her brother were such a nice guides, beatiful and smart tours+ interesting stories, i had a wonderful day ❤️. A MUST tour for everybody visiting Faroe
Melissa A. Jarrell and Brian Reed –
Thank you for sharing your lovely countryside with us. Your tour was A+!!!
The day felt adventurous and all the stops were perfect. Lunch at the restaurant was a special treat. The fish soup and “extra” bread were delicious!
You were both kind and caring. You were sincere and so polite to all your guests. It is obvious how much you love the Faroe Islands.
Thank you again. You made our vacation so special!
And, thanks again for the ride home.
Lisa –
Truly passionate about their job, our guides (Elsa Maria and his brother) led us in exploring amazing landscapes. They shared plenty of information about places visited considering also some moments for an informal break with the group! We took wonderful pictures and enjoyed also a great lunch at Fiskastykkið! Highly recommended!
Mark –
Elsa Maria is a Faroe Island treasure! What a fun guide and nice person. She gave such a great tour, we went all over many islands and she had lovely stories for each place. She is one of those people who just radiates kindness and good humor. Her warmth far eclipsed the cold weather (which this Southern California guy was not prepared for). I enjoyed learning about the Faroe Islands from her and felt like I made a new friend. Plus, she introduced me to some wonderful candies that I was able to find later in my trip (candy coated, chocolate covered black licorice!). I would definitely take another Elsa Maria tour again should I return and will recommend her to any of my friends who plan to visit Faroe. Thanks for the great day
ANDY –
We are from Hong Kong and we spent 4 full days in Faroe island and the day joining this tour is the best day! We had such a wonderful day with Elsa Maria. She is an incredibly passionate, warm, and attentive local guide who truly cares about every guest. It”s highly recommended!
Tenielle Cridland –
Thank you so much for showing me the beautiful islands on the See It All tour. I really enjoyed speaking with the guide, the scenery was beautiful I specially enjoyed seeing Múlafossur.
I appreciated trying some of the traditional food as well.
Amal Qalais –
The tour with our guide, Elsa, was absolutely wonderful and enjoyable. We had the opportunity to visit many important landmarks in the Faroe Islands and learn about the traditions of the local community, both in the past and how life has evolved over time. We also saw many breathtaking natural landscapes that felt almost unreal. A heartfelt thank-you to Elsa for leading such a memorable trip!
Carrie Stevens –
We are on a 28 day cruise with several countries and ports along the way. This tour was by far the BEST experience of all that we have had the opportunity to partake of. Elsa’s exuberant energy, excellent and clear English, command of the day (not in a “bad cop” way as her brother said. 😄. The island and the tour were both magical.
Thank you so much.
Tom and Carrie

Elsa-Maria gave us a wonderful fun tour, covering so much in just a day. She was friendly and welcoming to everyone in the group. She told us masses of interesting facts and gave us a real insight into the Faroes way of life. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting, particularly if they’re on a short visit like we were.

Very, very fun, surprising, and overall a wonderful experience. Very nice and knowledgeable guides. Got to experience some of the best Faroese scenery.
Valeria –
Grazie infinite per il Vs tour. Elsa Maria & il fratello sono stati eccezionali . Lavoro nel turismo ma non ho mai trovato tanta professionalità e simpatia assieme. Bravissimi e Faroe spettacolari. Valeria
Yuchi –
awesome trip to cover the most of scenic places! the tour guide is very informative to introduce the places and also took us to a nice lunch place. really enjoy the tour
LYU HUIBIN –
This 7‑hour guided tour has been the most enjoyable tour I have joined over the years. Huge credit goes to our guide Elsa Maria, who is dedicated and full of humour. She brought coffee, tea and some local Faroese food for everyone to share. She was incredibly thoughtful and considerate of every person in the group. She is a wonderful lady with rich life experience. I highly recommend this tour!
Francesco Meyvaert –
I cherish great memories of our adventurous day together, where a strong, independent woman drove us through the most splendid landscapes, making such a decent effort to truly guide us around. We had a lovely group and enjoyed a good lunch 👌
Denise and Mark –
Our guides were Elsa Maria and her brother JP. Their family has lived on the Faroe Islands for generations and they were very knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed the history and stories, as well as the beautiful scenery along the way. It was an unforgettable experience and we’re so happy we took the tour.
Sharon and Charlie –
We participated the “See It All” Faroe Islands Tour 12/8/2026, and got a true feeling on why it’s straight 5 stars tour, and why customers like it so much. Our tour guide Jens Petir is very knowledgeable, professional, and nice to each customer to make them comfortable. The whole arrangement is very efficient, making us see so many beautiful places in a short day with rains. Last but not least, his pride as a Faroe Islanders, and his enthusiasm to his home land are very impressive. We strongly recommend this tour to people who wants to understand Faroe Island’s environment, culture and society, and who has limited time while want to dive into the major beautiful places.

★★★★★
Fantastic tour and definitely one of the highlights of my trip to the Faroe Islands! The itinerary was very well organized and covered many of the islands’ most beautiful and iconic places in one day. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and there were plenty of opportunities to stop and take photos. A great choice if you want to see as much of the Faroe Islands as possible in a limited amount of time. Highly recommended!
Greg J –
Wow! What a great tour of the beautiful islands. Elsa and her brother gave a truly exceptional and personal narrative of their country This tour is a great way to gain perspective of the islands if your time is limited or serves as an introduction if you are staying on.
Lauri Roy –
I just wanted to say thank you again for the wonderful day we had while visiting the Faroe Islands. Our guide Elsa Maria was the best! You could not have had anyone better representing your company. From the beginning of the tour until the end she was fantastic. Answered all of our questions and was very proud to represent your company and the Faroe Islands.
Thank you again. I would highly recommend this tour. My friends were on another tour the same day and it definitely was not as good as ours.
Martin Stockhausen –
Thank you for a great day with you. We really enjoyed the day and will recommend you to our friends in Germany.
Best wishes for you and greetings from us

Thank you so much for everything, and until next time!

Really cozy and amazing trip, with an amazing guide! Elsa Maria took time to tell us stories as she drove, explained the different places we visited, and made us feel very welcome. If I go back, I will definitely do another trip with them, highly recommend!
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.

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.
Natalie, Ireland, June 2026.
eddie –
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.
Joyce –
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Jens Petur is an incredibly experienced and knowledgeable guide. His deep understanding of Faroese history is truly impressive. Even though the weather wasn’t on our side, listening to his fascinating stories made the experience completely worthwhile. Highly recommended!
Aleksandra Szer –
Great tour! I traveled solo and booked 3 day trips, two of them guided by Jens Petur who was knowdgeable and pleasant. Faroe Islands views are indeed jaw dropping and I got to see so many fantastic sites within several hours without having to drive and navigate. The only downside is the expensive price, but then, everything is expensive in the Faroe Islands. Highly recommend this tour
Megan Starr –
I booked this tour very last minute and what a good decision that was! I got to see so much and hear some very local knowledge and stories from Jens Petur. We also had a tasty lunch in Klaksvik. Highly recommended!
Louise brown –
Amazing tour from start to finish. Jens was very knowledgeable, and gave some brilliant information. Really enjoyable, really beautiful
Rechito –
Amazing tour with beautiful landscapes. Our guide, Jens Peturs, was excellent with so much knowledge of the islands.
WICHYADA –
I travelled solo and joined 3 day tours. I really enjoyed them, especially with our guide Jens Petur. He shared lots of interesting stories and took us to some amazing hidden gems. I absolutely loved the Faroe Islands and would definitely recommend these tours! Hope to come back again someday!
Anitra Nelson –
Our tour guide Jens was engaging, knowledgeable and helpful. He told us historic and cultural facts, sad as well as humurous stories, and personal anecdotes as he took us to really beautiful locations across his Faroe Islands home place.
Stephen –
This tour was the highlight of my holiday in the Faroe Islands. The islands we visited were stunning, with fewer other tourists and better weather than in Torshavn and Vagar. There were 5 people on the tour, so plenty of space in the minivan, and I was picked up and dropped back at my hotel exactly on time. The tour was perfectly paced, with several opportunities to have short walks taking in the beautiful scenery and culture of the islands. My particular highlights were the 2 short walks at Vioareioi, the stunning panoramic coffee stop and the remains of the Viking farmstead.
The guide, Jens Petur, was excellent. He drove expertly and provided us with exactly the right amount of interesting information, delivered with a calm manner and a gentle sense of humour. I liked the fact that he did not talk all the time on the journeys, so there were times when we could sit back and enjoy the magnificent views in peace. It was a wonderful day!
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.

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 –
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!
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.
