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 .

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.

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😀
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 –
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.
