Heimdal Tours

A great tour with Tummas as a very good guide.

A fantastic hike through marvellous and unspoiled nature

I never felt insecure in the mountains, even though I’m afraid of heights

Thank you to Tummas for organising our hike today! Our guides Óðin and Randi were terrific companions and taught us a lot about Faroese nature and culture. Despite a little rain, we were led on a route that was a good match for our schedule and fitness levels. We would heartily recommend a similar trip to anyone who wants to see Faroese landscape up close and safely.

Excellent hike tour. You get to picked up by your accommodation by the guide and his wife. Then you ride to the area and the hike starts. The area and it surroundings are beautiful just like you almost on another planet. You get to see a lot of out of this beautiful nature surroundings in a area not many people come. So that’s makes it extra special. In the end you get picked up again to get to a restaurant called Kafé Kaspar where you get a delicious dinner. This is included in the tour and that was great to end the tour, because believe you get really hungry after it 😉

We loved our hike that was recommended strongly by Hogni and were not disappointed. Tummas is an excellent and experienced guide who took us on a beautiful hike north of Torshavn with gorgeous coastal vistas, waterfalls, and streams. We appreciated his knowledge and stories about the region. stóra tøkk!

It was so worthwhile. I feel fate intervened so we got to go on that trip rather than trying to do it ourselves. Thomas is very knowledgeable and great fun. He had organised a superb fish soup lunch at Cafe Mormor – just what was needed!

The museum at Tvoroyrar Bygdaog Sjosavn was really interesting but the toilet facility needed a massive clean up. As Thomas said it was ‘not cared for’, a massive understatement and not like any other facilities we used on the islands.

There was a good mix of scenery, information and culture and we were so lucky with the weather. We saw stunning views and fearsome drops into the sea. Thomas took good care of us.

We got back to the ferry to find it was not certain to run because of a fire in one of the funnels. Fortunately Thomas had a cousin who had a holiday house so he took us there for a cup of tea whilst we waited to hear about the ferry. At 8-20pm it was cancelled until 5 am the next day. Thomas went off and bought pizza for us all whilst we thought what to do. We could have stayed -huge thanks to the kind cousin who offered his house on the basis of a phone call from Thomas – he was not there.

We were a group of four older people – none of us with our medication, (a lesson learned there) and were desperate to get back to Torshavn. We thought about the helicopter but Thomas could not get through and of course they were on emergency standby and it would have been very expensive. Then Thomas had a brain wave and rang a fisherman friend who was willing to come down from Torshavn to pick us up and take us back. Thomas stayed with the car as he had another trip south the next day and persuaded his very pregnant wife to collect the next party and take them to the ferry the next day where he would meet them at the port. We met her briefly as she collected them the next morning!

We had the most magical trip back with Flossar. We watched the puffins and fulmars fishing, and saw them returning their nests. We witnessed the most stunning sunset and ran down our camera batteries to flat! Flossar took photos for us as we took it in turns to get a bit of charge in our phones from his charger. It was such a wonderful, wonderful experience never to be forgotten.

For me it was the perfect example of the kindness of strangers and the renowned friendliness and helpfulness of the Faroe islanders. Flossar even called us a taxi when we landed back in Torshavn. Back to the hotel at midnight!

Thomas was outstanding. We did not get back until midnight as the public ferry was not running. We went to his cousin’s summer house for a cup tea then his fisherman friend came down from Torshavn and brought us back by fishing boat. A wonderful experience.

I booked 3 tours with Guide to Faroe Islands – but this one was really the best.
The island is sooooo beautiful and guide Tamas really perfect.
We did a lot of scenic stops, the weather was fine, I felt nearly in heaven…..

The tour to Suđuroy was very good, I enjoyed it.

The 9 Hour tour to Suduroy Island with Tummas was fantastic. The ferry experience was fun and Suduroy Island is filled with nature, history, culture and beauty. Tummas walks the land and tells the stories with great pride and enthusiasm. His knowledge of the land, the sea, the birds and mammals and of course the Faroese history provided me with a good understanding of how the residents live on Suduroy. Thank you Tummas for a wonderful day. If you are wondering if you should take this tour; absolutely!!!

Thanks to Thomas and Janus for my visit to Suðuroy Island. They are very helpful and responsive to all participants in rainy and windy weather. They try to find second hand shop for new clothings as some people get wet for walk in the rains. Very meticulous and kindful. Recommended.

Our day trip to Suduroy will not be soon forgotten….breathtaking scenery and an informative guide who took great care of us.
He guided us on a hike up to the top of a cliff so we could walk across the famous wooden foot bridge for an exhilirating view and kindly took photos of us on the bridge. It was a bit of a challenge making it back down the mountain in the pouring rain but he made sure we were all safe. I highly recommend this tour!

I was really curious about this trip. I specially booked it for the Rituskor, where you can walk over the wooden bridge. Well that don’t happened because we had a another tourguide who don’t do often this tour and the group was different composed. Ofcourse all friendly and good, the same goes for the tourguide. A excellent lunch included in a really good cafe. Breakfast and dinner are on your own costs on the boat. Lots of beautiful sightseeings where we get out, but also lots where we stay for some reason in the car. I did various tours with guidetofaroes and by of lot of highlights you had the chance to get out of the car and had te chance to make pictures. Now it was a part more car sightseeing and people taken pictures in the car.

If I would know that we don’t go to the Rituskor then I would not booked this tour, but the other one which only have Rituskor as highlight. It was therefore a bit disappointed. I heard that the tourguide who do this normally was on vacation. Actually they have to mention on the website that this could not always be possible. Then know people before booking the tour. That’s why the 3 stars.

Tummas was a fantastic tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. Loved all parts of the tour from the ferry ride, to the hiking and sightseeing, to the delicious lunch of fish soup at Cafe Mormor. Highly recommend this tour!

This was a wonderful trip my only comment would be that it’s marked as ‘easy’ and I wasn’t able to complete 2 of the hikes but having read the reviews I knew hikes were involved and was prepared to step back as needed. Tomas is a great guide I really recommend him and how much he cares about his tours. We saw so much despite the weather!!

Our tour was cancelled and instead we were rebooked to another cheaper tour. We liked the alternative but I give it 3 stars just for the bad customer service, it was practically impossible to opt out from the alternative tour and also impossible even to get a refund/difference between the tours. We liked the alternative cliff tour but everything that was before was bad. If you want to book it, make sure yourself that the ferry to Suðuroy is working otherwise your money will be gone…

Weather conditions at Kalsoy was bad, so tour was cancelled. Talked to the guide and we managed to arrange an alternative hike to both Dunnesdrangar and Bøsdalafossur, as weather on the south side was much better. Had a great time, guide was very experienced and knowledgeable about pretty much everything.

We were picked up at the Hilton in Thòrshavn. It was a choice day, because the sun was shining wonderfully.

In the minibus there were a husband and his wife from another hotel. Tje friendly guide had not managed to get a ticket for his bus on the ferry, so we had to go by foot and change car at Kalsoy. The only problem was that the other car was for 5 persons instead of 6. So his little wife sat on her husband’s lap the entire trip. Emergency breaks law, because there was no seat belt in the luggage compartment of the car and no real place to sit, so it was not safe.

The hike to the tombstone of James Bond and the lighthouse was sometimes very slippery, but we all made to the top with the breathtaking view.

We had to vegan people in our group but all sandwiches had chicken. The organization forgot to inform the guide on this dietary requirement u fortunately.

The hike was difficult and not so average, but a paved path is under construction.

The guide knew much about the environment, was a helpful and relaxed person. We had a marvelous experience.

The day was absolutely awesome. I‘ve had the lovliest guide, she was so friendly, open and she told me lots of interesting stories and facts.
The views were just breathtaking. Fully recommed that trip, it was perfect! Thank you for that extraordinary experience!

Fabulous day with trek to the lighthouse and picnic lunch. Anita was a knowledgeable and fun guide. Highly recommended.

This has to be my bravest thing I ever did, walking on cliffs with slippery grass without rails could be scary for those afraid of heights, and it is the safest to travel with an experienced guide than going on your own.
Great views takes great risk, that scenery above is taken on the cliff, so brace yourself

After seeing many pictures of the Faroe Islands, this tour was a fantastic experience to be able to see these sights in person. My guide had great local knowledge of the area and gave interesting insights throughout as a Faroese person. The guide was professional and made the tour an engaging experience. The hike out to Trælanípa was excellent as was seeing the waterfall in Gasadalur, even with grey clouds the views were spectacular. The day was one of the highlights of the trip!

I had a really awesome day! Eygin was a great, fantastic guide! He was very professional and knowledgeable. He had explain everything to me and got me a lot of insights about this magnificent island. I can really recommend this trip over the Island Vagar. I got to see the beautiful waterfall and a lot of other fascinating places and landscapes. Perfect! And thanks for that!

This is the place that made me come to the Faroes and this tour is absolutely fantastic! The hike is fairly easy, a bit muddy and rocky at some points, but is really worth it. The views you get are out of this world. The guide is very nice and experienced, I would recommend this tour a million times!

Excellent day trip which combines an enjoyable hike with spectacular views of the Lake above the ocean with my personal favourite view Mulafossur. The opportunity to do the hike was a standout on this type of tour, generally easy to moderate. Our guide Rakul was brilliant as well.

This is one of the best tours I’ve been on – great hike, spectacular views, fabulous and knowledgeable guide who made a real effort to look after everyone and meet all our wants and needs. First class – no hesitation in recommending it.

This is a great starter walk or hike before you get into the tougher ones. Aside from the amazing scenery, you also get to learn more about the Faroese culture and technology, which can sometimes be misrepresented and misunderstood in the west.

A great day out with Tummas! A comfortable ride and an easy hike, so you get to actually enjoy your surroundings. The views are breathtaking and if you are as lucky as I was with the weather, you will take stunning pictures. Tummas is an excellent guide, knowledgeable, attentive, flexible and very pleasant to be with. I highly recommend both the tour and Tummas. Don’t miss this one!

Beautiful. Tummas was knowleadgeable and enjoyable guide. I would not hesitate to choose this company again for other excursions in the Faroe islands. Highly recommended.

We had a great day and we were really lucky with the weather. Tummas was a great guide – I would recommend this tour to everyone!

Super tur.
Fantastic little group of 5 people. Most talkes in english. Thomas brilliant guide. Plenty of time to take in the sights. Worth the payment. God lunch as well

Excellent tour and most scenic. It was a wonderful experience and weather was beautiful. Great lunch packed too!

Nice tour beatiful landscapes

(Oct. 15th, 2024) The tour is simply outstanding! Thomas, the tour guide and also the driver, was very competent, giving informations about the villages, culture, and general contents about the Faroe Islands itself. Safe driver! Múlafossur waterfall is awesome! The village of Bour is very pictoresque, very enchanting. And last but not least, the Traenípa hiking can be tricky in some tracks (mainly if it’s raining, because of the mud), but it’s completely worthwhile when you reach the viewpoints of the “Lake Above The Ocean”. Absolutely breathtaking!!!! Something unforgetable!!! Don’t miss it for the world!

A really enjoyable tour with breathtaking views. Our guide, Anita told us very much about the islands. Small group, nice lunch and enough time to enjoy the beauty of nature. I absolutely recommend it.

This was a nice small group tour with a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. The first stop to Gásadalur offered beautiful views of the waterfall, and the second stop offered a short and peaceful walk through the village of Bøur. I wish there had been time to visit what looked to be a lovely cafe in Bøur for a coffee. There were also signs for a cafe in Gásadalur that prompted some passengers to ask if they could venture into town for a coffee there, so I think a slightly longer tour would have provided the potential for some of these explorations. The majority of the tour was spent on a lovely hike to see the lake above the ocean, filled with sheep, oyster catchers, and other wildlife. We unfortunately had rain and thick fog that prevented views of the lake, but the air was fresh and we had the trail to ourselves. Bagged lunches were provided, but I will note that dietary restrictions were not accommodated. When booking, we shared that one of our party has celiac and could not eat gluten, but he was unable to eat the sandwich or granola bar provided. He always travels with his own snacks, so he was able to enjoy the tour. All in all, this was a great way to see Vagar Island without a vehicle.

I took this tour with my teenage grandson a few days ago and we enjoyed it immensely. Anita was a great tour guide, she answered any and all questions giving us some appreciated insights into life in the Faroe Islands. We loved the sights and viewpoints we visited. The hike was wonderful, although only the first and last part of it were super easy. There was a steep climb to get to the top and best view, a bit challenging but fairly short. The part where we had a delicious sandwich on the rocks might be a challenge for people without good balance. If you have hiking poles, take them. Very well worth it for sure. It was a great day spent with a small group and a wonderful guide.

This was an excellent tour. Anita was a great guide leading the small group and providing a lot of local insight from the perspective of a Faroese. She was also very cognizant of the need for safety throughout, particularly near the cliff edges as it was very windy during our hike. This did mean that we couldn’t quite get the perfect view of the “lake over the ocean” since wind gusts could have blown us into the said ocean but I appreciated the caution based on local norms. Nevertheless, the scenery overall was amazing. The hiking portions were not at all difficult although it is advisable to wear appropriate footwear.

There was some confusion at the start with the pickup (probably because I had booked the tour quite late) but as soon as I informed the company, they immediately dispatched a taxi and I was able to meet up with the group without missing anything significant. (I didn’t realize until later that Anita gave up her packed lunch for me – thank you for that!) All very professional.
I highly recommend this tour.

We had an absolute blast with David! Such an incredible guy who has so much knowledge about the islands. It doesn’t feel like you on a tour, it just feels like your driving around the island with a friend. He’s also awesome for pulling over whenever you spot a good photo opt which I though was great

This was AMAZING. As we had little time in n the Faroes we decided to do small yours to seize the time. David, from Heimdal Yours, was an amazing guide. He picked up us at our accommodation and took us in his car through Eysturoy and Streymoy, from 9 to 18 we were with him and it was one of the best days of our 3 weeks trip.
We had sun, cloud, rain, snow falling, hailstorms, amazing! We had stories about the Vikings, facts about the Islands and history of how all worked in the area in the old days. We had mountains and cliffs, small frozen rivers and waterfalls.
We couldn’t have Asked for more. Thanks David!

My wife and I had a fantastic trip – Faroe Islands Highlights Tour – on Friday 29.03.2019. Sun, snow, little rain – Faroese weather, but no weather is bad weather! Pleasant and very competent guide! We had a great day in the Faroe Islands.

Sincerely
Bodil and Erik Sølgaard

David was a fantastic guide, he was knowledgeable and a good person to explain all the sights and sounds and smells. We really enjoyed our time with him and heartily recommend him!!! Thank you David!!

Our tour with David was great, highly recommended! He gave us great insight into life in the Faroes. The day was one of the highlights of our trip

David was an excellent guide. I’m so happy that he was able to show me around on my last day in the Faroe Islands! It was lovely 🙂

The guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to our requests. don’t let me say about the views. It was totally breathtaking and out of this world. You can’t get it anywhere else .it was very carefully plans and we got to see all the beautiful spots around the area we are going. If you need a tour in Faroe, this is the place to go

Harry was an exceptional tour guide, informative, flexible, nothing was a problem. One of the best tour experiences we have ever had and we travel a lot. Highly recommend the tour and the guide.

An amazing trip with a really good guide! 🙂 Despite the not-so-pleasant weather it was an experience I won’t forget. Would recommend it to all!
/Ninna, journalist Sweden

Good tour and overview of the islands.

We had a very nice day tour with a lot of nice stories which our guide David told us. The tour is very good organized and we recommend it to other people. It‘s a very nice tour to get a first impression about the history and most important sights of the Faroe Islands.
Regarding Covid19: we always felt save as there are just a very few cases on the island.

This tour was simply awesome! Our tour guide David was wonderful and knew how to answer every single question we had. He knew every little bit about the Faroes and was great fun to drive around with.

I was lucky enough to go on this tour on a clear day, and all the views were simply amazing. This tour takes you to all the places you must see in the Faroes! Also, the provided lunch was delicious.

If I ever had the chance to visit the Faroes for the first time again, I would not hesitate on joining this tour once again. My sincerest recommendations!

We loved it! Thank you so much for making it happen. We got to see so much and really felt like we got a good feel for the Faroe Islands. Thank you!

It was brilliant. Simon did a superb job. Really good trip, will definitely recommend.

I enjoyed my stay in Faroe Islands and also like the highlight tour. I will recommend it to any friend who is on a tight schedule and wants to see as many spots as possible in limited time. I had great conversation with our guide. Although I would like to point out the rate for the tour is definitely not cheap, but considering the general price for everything in Faroe Islands, it is still acceptable.

Keep up the good work!

I am sure I will come back to these beautiful islands soon.

I’d highly recommend this tour if you only have a limited time to spend at the Faroes. You get so many beautiful places to see.
Tummas was a very friendly & informative guide. Also the vegetarian lunch was very delicious. Looking forward to come back to the islands one day.

Excellent. Aside from being a great guide, he had a lot of Faroe knowledge….I even enjoyed the myths.
And, he was very kind & considerate. The guide was helpful with the icy paths we needed to traverse.

It was great, thanks a lot!

Jeg havde en fantastisk dagstur med Tummas, som var vores vidende og dygtige guide. Vi kørte afsted i både sne og blæst, men Tummas kørte os sikkert af de små veje gennem det storslåede landskab – og heldigvis klarede det op undervejs. Vi fik en masse spændende information og jeg lærte meget om Færøerne. Jeg var endda så heldig, at prøve hans opbevarede “skærpekød”, en lokal delikatesse :). Der er ingen tvivl om, at jeg varmt vil anbefale turen til andre som gerne vil køres fra highlight til highligt.

5 stars!

Nice tour with a small group (just us and another couple), Simon was a good guide, we had fun. We have visited some beautiful places were we couldn’t get by public transportation. Tasty lunch at a idyllic place. Besides, we were very lucky with the sunny weather.

The tour with Thomass was very interesting and a great add-on to my 5 days of hiking.
He is a great driver and excellent guide sharing lots of fascinating information.

Prachtig om met deze trip mooie stukjes van verschillende eilanden te zien.
Lekkere lunch bij een mooie waterval.
Fijne gids die goed vertelde en de tijd nam om vragen te beantwoorden.
Wij komen zeker nog eens terug msar de prachtige Faraoer!

Excellent guide. The tour was amazing. 5 stars!!!!

Tummas gave me an excellent Top Rated Faroe Islands Highlight tour. The spectacular scenery is mesmerizing while Tummas shares the history of the land and sea, the Faroese and how the villages continue to support residents. I learned so much about the raising of sheep in the Faroe Islands from Tummas; each answer prompted more questions followed by Tummas’s answers.
If you are limited on days for touring this tour gives an excellent overview of living on the Faroe Islands.
Thank you Tummas.

Thomas was a personable and knowledgeable guide and a very good driver.

Dear Faroe islands tour,

It was a fantastic tour and a great guide – we saw some beautiful places and the Lunch box was fantastic!! especially the sandwich. The guide was helpful, patient, knowledgeable and funny. It was good to meet a real Faroe Islander farmer and he educated about life & work in the islands.
I especially liked the visit to St Olav’s Church.
We really hope we can both visit again.

Hi,

Our Guide Tour (2024/06/23 9PM) was amazing, and we saw great places and beautiful landscapes.
But I did not got any informations about the places, I guess our tourist guide was a litte bit wierd and when we stopped somewhere her first thing was to smoke a cigarette and drink a coffee. I have been many times this kind of tours and our guiders always speaking during the travel and we got many informations about the places. I don’t want to say more but I got more informations from a passenger and from his wife who came from Norway during our trip then your tourist guide. So she was not prepared and I felt that she was just our driver. Unfortunately I can not give you more stars than one, but I guess the whole group had a same feelings. Otherwise Faroe Islands looks amazing!

best regards, Máté Bella

We loved this trip with Anita as our guide. Comfortable transport, great lunch and good coverage of Faroe highlights. Good local information. Anita is softly spoken so a mic in the van could have been helpful.

the tour was great, the tour guide – outstanding, the nature- amazing, thank You

Tummas is a great host, his knowledge about the islands helped you learn more about them, with what you learn from him you can start moving by yourself thru the Island, the visited points were impressive.

Great Tour!

This was an excellent tour for a day visit on the Faroe Islands. Pick up at the cruise ship in Runavik was no problem. We saw many beautiful places and learned a lot about the history and the life on the islands. Our guide was Janus.
On the stops we had plenty of time to walk around and take phototgraphs. Lunch was tasty.
The only downside was the car. We were 4 guests and in a regular car it was quite cramped on the backseat. But the tour was so great we didn’t really care and I can only recommend the tour if you have not much time and want to see a lot of the beautiful landscapes and villages.

very nice and interesting tour. top guide from the island, thank you very much 😊

I recently had the pleasure of taking a 6-hour tour of the Faroe Islands, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Tomas, was exceptionally knowledgeable, accommodating, and passionate about the islands. He made the tour engaging by sharing fascinating insights about the history, culture, and natural beauty of the Faroe Islands. Tomas’ warmth and enthusiasm created a great atmosphere throughout the day, making it easy to connect with the group and appreciate the stunning surroundings. We visited several breathtaking spots, each more incredible than the last, and Tomas took the time to explain what made each place unique. His attention to detail and willingness to answer all our questions made the tour even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the Faroe Islands with a guide who truly brings the experience to life. Truly a highlight of my trip!

Had an amazing time on this tour! Our guide was super friendly and really attentive, always making sure everyone was having a good time. He shared a bunch of interesting facts and stories about the Faroe Islands that I had no idea about, which made the whole experience even cooler. You can tell he genuinely loves the place. Definitely recommend if you want to see the islands with someone who knows their stuff and makes it fun!

Annfinn was an excellent tour guide. He was so knowledgeable, took us to the most beautiful places, and gave us lots of time to take pictures and enjoy the view. I did not rent a car so this tour was the perfect way to still see lots of sights. The beach in Tjørnuvík and also Fossá waterfall were my favorite spots. Thank you for such a great tour!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Culturally and historically rich. Delicious fish and chip for lunch! Fascinating! An easy tour to move around and get to know Faroes!

An outstanding day with a phenomenal guide, who shared the rich historic and cultural traditions of the islands, relating to both the Faroe Islands themselves, as well as their role both in European and world communities.

Our guide Anita led us on the top-rated Faroe Islands Highlights Tour through Streymoy and Eysturoy. We followed much of the scenic Buttercup Routes, which offered breathtaking views throughout. I especially enjoyed the stunning waterfalls and charming small villages. The tour was very well organized, and I loved the itinerary. Anita’s cheeky and cheerful personality brought a refreshing energy to the experience and turned it into an unforgettable memory. This tour is highly recommended! Thank you, Anita!

An excellent tour to see some of the most beautiful places in the Faroe Islands. Borgfrið was our guide and she took us safely to all the sites, giving all the time explanations about surroundings and even singing for us traditional songs! We visited the village of Gjógv on Eysturoy Island, being fascinated by its astonishing sea gorge. Then we stopped at Fossá Waterfall and after that, we arrived at Tjørnuvík, a peaceful isolated old village, with an amazing beach and traditional turf-roofed houses. We also saw the pair of sea-stacks Risin and Kellingin and heard the legend of the giants from Iceland who tried to steal the Faroe Islands and eventually were turned into rocks. We enjoyed our included lunch in a local café and then we drove to Kirkjubøur. This historical place not far from the capital offers amazing views of the ruins of the Magnus Cathedral, Saint Olav’s Church with its serene cemetery, and an 11th century house with beautiful red windows that has been continously inhabited since then! We spent a wonderful day on this tour! Thank you, Bogfrið!

We loved Faroe Islands Highlights Tour and all the sites we visited.
Borgfrið, our guide, has been amazing. Caring, entertaining, telling us all the possible stories and absolutely kind. Not to mention her beautiful voice that left everyone mesmerized.
We are really grateful to her for this experience.

We had SUCH a good day with our very personal guide on this tour which really did focus on highlights from south to north. Not only were we able to experience some of the things we had read about but also had many questions answered by our guide who was exceptionally well informed and provided some very interesting statistics. Our trip would not have been complete without this wonderful day. Thank you!

This tour was excellent and the guide was knowledgable, engaging and friendly. This was a brilliant way to see the highlights of. Streymoy and Eysturoy and I would thoroughly recommend!

Tak for en dejlig tur rundt på Færøerne! Vi er yderst tilfredse med vores guide Tomas som formidlede sin kunskap om såvel natur, dagligliv, kultur, politik og meget meget mere! Tak!
“Ladies”

We’re so glad we booked this tour. Our driver/guide, whose name escapes me, was fabulous throughout. You expect fantastic scenery here, but the level of service we got was just as good. There were no downsides to this wonderful day out, and we’d certainly book another tour with Guide to The Faroe Islands again. Even lunch was good!

We took the ferry from Vagar to Mykines but we had to check the weather before the departure as it ‘s not always favorable and sometimes the ferry cannot come to take you back to Vagar! The weather is unpredictable. We had a little bit of Rain, sun and wind! So you have to dress in layers. A waterproof jacket and good hiking shoes is a must. The path is not very easy, but the View is absolutely stunning. Our guide Thomas was skilled and showed us the way to the puffins’ nests. We had a lovely lunch, that our guide had prepared for us, when we reached the lighthouse ! The way Back is easier. You have some time to stroll around the Village as well, while waiting for the ferry to pick you up!

I had the most amazing trip! The team was very helpful and accommodating and the trip leader even helped me find the best place on the boat to stand (as I tend to get quite sea-sick…but I didn’t on this trip)! The island was absolutely beautiful and I saw more puffins than I ever thought I’d see in my lifetime. We had a beautiful hike, a nice lunch and views that I will never forget. Thank you for such an incredible experience.

Just a quick note to say thank you for organizing & hosting our trip to Mykines.

The lady who greeted us with our ferry tickets & lunches was gorgeous, the healthy fresh lunch fantastic, the skipper & crew of the boat professional & attentive, our guide warm, friendly & highly informative. All in all an unforgettable experience.
Considering the unmeasurable value of the island ecosystem & diverse sensitivities, it is my hope & strong belief that all visitations to the island should by necessity involve a company such as yours to reduce future impact, particularly on Puffin/Lundi populations/nesting sites.
Regards
Andrew Knight

We had the most wonderful tour with Tummas to Mykines. Wonderful weather, stunning nature and lots of puffins and other birds. We were so lucky that our group only was our family and Tummas and he was an excellent guide showing the hidden gems of the Island, telling the stories – a pleasure to be with. Best regards, the Lauridsen Family

Our stay in the Faroe Islands was spectacular! The landscape is breathtaking and the food and culture are also incredible. I don’t even know where to begin. It was so impactful to learn about the history of the Faroe Islands and get a glimpse into the lives of those who live there today. All of this would not have been possible without Tummas. We are so grateful for the bespoke experiences he created for us.

He not only coordinated all the fine details of each day’s itinerary flawlessly but he also adjusted accordingly to ever-changing weather conditions. Our day on Mykines was perfect!

Tummas was patient to answer all of our questions and introduced us to what has become one of our favorite destinations in the world. We are looking forward to returning soon and will most definitely be requesting Tummas again.

The tour was super nice, we saw a lot of puffins and the guide was very good.

I concur with Luke’s comments on June 9. My review comes late due to unforeseen circumstances. This tour is run by the Heimdals; very efficient and flexible in terms of clients’ requirements. The groups are small which makes it all the more pleasant. As a travel agent of many years I highly recommend this tour and tour operator.

The boat trip to and from Mykines was great and the driver took the time to show us different spots along the way. We then arrived at Mykines and started our hike. I have a dodgy knee and my partner is not a keen walker nor particularly fit. We were soon left behind. In the description of the trip it didn’t mention that there was serious hiking involved and a good level of fitness required. We missed most of the commentary. And just when we would catch up off the group went again with no time for us to catch our breath.
We were offered the chance to stop and wait while the group did a loop and came back. We enjoyed the rest and the tasty lunch.
When the group rejoined us we walked back along the ridge.One of the other participants filled us in on some of the commentary that we had missed. We appreciated that the guide took the time to point out the puffins to us and we were so happy to see them as we had heard that they had all left.
We also had an interesting tour around the village.
This trip is only for those with moderate fitness and this needs to be included in the trip description.

Great experience, our guide was very nice and knowledgeable, views unforgettable, two thumbs up

Great tour. As you need a guide to visit the island do we recommend to book a tour – the island is protected and you cannot walk around on your own. The other people who booked the ferry alone were hearded in a big group to the puffin colony. We enjoyed our walk and got to see more of the island.

Przyjechałam na Wyspy Owcze głównie po to, żeby pojechać na wyspę Mykines i moje marzenie spełniło się w 100%. Cała wycieczka bardzo sprawnie zorganizowana, zostałam odebrana punktualnie z hotelu i pojechaliśmy do portu. Podróż na wyspę trwała 45 min, wcześniej Pani przewodnik bardzo skrupulatnie sprawdza pogodę, jako że rano padało. Po dopłynięciu na wyspę pogoda się znacznie poprawiła i widoki były obłędne! Zrobiliśmy spacer na ponad 6 km, w międzyczasie była przerwa na lunch i kawę. Niesamowite przeżycie, którego nie zapomnę do końca życia!

A leisure hike taking in the fresh air and quietness of the island. Although a part of the island was closed, we were still able to spot puffins going about their activities disregarding presence of human visitors. Nice!

Wonderful day, despite the fog. We saw many puffins and enjoyed a nice walk up to the cliff and back. I had not expected to be able to be so close to the birds, The packed lunch that was provided was delicious. Highly recommend this tour.

We enjoyed the walk with our guide and the sunny weather when visiting Mikenes.
My interest were the puffins only, so crossing the island wasn’t necessarily for us.
The lunch bagel was very dry, but enjoyed the apple and Belgian chocolates.
The puffins were fantastic to see, so nearby!

Everything was as advertised. Great day, I would recommend this tour.

A once in a lifetime trip through nature! Through this tour, one experiences mother nature at its best: the vastness of the ocean, the might of the waves, the power of water cutting through the hard cliffs, the gracefulness of a bird’s flight, the resilience of the Faroese people and their respect for the land! The boat ride is not for the faint hearted, the hike not for the weak but once you conquer all, it is most exhilarating! I lagged behind as I am not physically inclined; but my lovely guide, Anita, always kept a lookout for me. No pressure from her at all and I felt safe even in the vastness of the trail, in most foggy of weather only with the wind and puffins as ccompany. A must in every nature lover’s bucket list!

Very exciting day with a littéralement group.
Beautiful vews and walk in the natur without too much people.
The guide was very kind and carefull.

We are a family of 5 adults on this well known must do mykinnes island walk. The date was change to one day later to catch a perfect weather. The weather on that day was perfect as it forecasted and we was told that this is the first day that people in Faroe wear t shirt out to enjoy the sun. We have a great time and saw some puffins too. With a warmer weather the puffins are lesser according to the guide as many familiar usual places we do not see puffins and only till the end of the hike we managed to see. Still a trip worth going

Due to bad weather our tour to Mykines Island was cancelled. However, instead of it, a tour to Northern Islands was proposed to us the following day, accompanied by our guide Borgfrið. She kindly picked us up from our accomodation in Tórshavn and we drove through the famous sub-sea tunnel that connects Klaksvík to Eysturoy Island. We stopped at Toftanes in Leirvík to see the ancient Viking Farm. Then we had an amazing hiking climbing the Klakkur Mountain Ridge, with spectacular views over Kalsoy and Kunoy islands. After the hiking we went to the village Viðareiði – the northernmost settlement in the Faroe Islands. Although it was raining a bit and windy we enjoyed this surreal place, with its church, cemetery and steep shorelines. Then we reached Kunoy village, saw the towering mountain wall, and had our packed lunch in the forest near the giant rock. The tour was great with our guide telling us many things about Faroese nature and culture. We are grateful for this!
