The walkingtour with Jens around Tórshavn was a good experience. For me it was at a suitable length and Jens knows a lot about your lovely city. There was plenty of time to ask questions and to hear little anecdotes about some of the people who lived here.
I can recommend the tour to anyone who wants to know about the city they have come to.
Best regards

Jens was an great guide. He has a rich knowledge of Faroese history and he’s very good at sharing it. He answered all my questions and explained some building names in Faroese. Because I was the only person on tour, he even asked if I prefer to start at a different time to catch better weather. I highly recommend this tour!

Vores guidede tur rund i Torshavn var rigtig god og spændende.
Guiden Jens var god til at vise os rund i den gamle bydel og fortælle om de historiske steder.
Jens kunne sin lektie 👍
Vi kan kun anbefale gæster at bruge den ca. 1½ time rundt i Torshavn.

Did the 90 minute walking tour in Tórshavn with our wonderful guide Jens Hákun.
Jens was incredibly informative, highlighted interesting historical, cultural, political, and economic aspects of life in the Faroe Islands, and sprinkled his tour narrative with equally interesting recollections of growing up in the Faroes. He answered all of our questions thoughtfully and sought to make connections with our home countries.
Jens is relatively new in his career as a tour guide but shows much promise. Thank you Jens for an entertaining and informative walking tour.

I was SO happy when I learned that Jens Hákun Leo would be my guide on this walking tour in Tórshavn. I had been on his Faroese Beer Tour hike and knew that he was an extremely knowledgeable guide and very, very nice guy. He is flexible, and although he tells about places and stories along the route of beautiful, old Tórshavn, he will also answer questions that is of your own particular interest. Highly recommended tour!

I want to thank Jens Hákan for the excellent and informative Tour through Tórshavn. It is a city where usually one does not come often in lifetime so I consider it very important to get as much information as possible out of a short visit. And that’s exactly what Jens gave us while walking through the town.

Leo was very well informed about the city of Torshavn and the geo-political scene of Faroe Islands. He gave us great information about the city and its history. We walked through the old neighbourhoods exploring the area of Tinganes. He also recommended a few other places to visit during our stay at Faroe Islands. Overall we had a fantastic experience talking to him in general and learning so much more about the Faroe islands.

My wife and I enjoyed a very enjoyable walking tour of Torshavn led my Jens. He is deeply knowledgable about all things Faroe Islands and gave a tremendous overview and many details about this great place. And he answered all of our questions as well, and kept the tour right on time, remarkable considering all the places he took us to visit.
Would definitely take another tour with Jens!

I participated in this walking tour on the afternoon I arrived in Tórshavn, and it was the perfect start to my mini-adventure in the Faroe Islands.
Jens was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing stories about the local architecture, landscapes, histories and politics, as we meandered at a comfortable pace through the historical parts of town.
Getting insights about a place and its culture from a local always adds a layer of depth, and I would highly recommend this tour as a first touch-point to anyone visiting the islands.

Janet Friesen –
My friend and I were disappointed with our Torshavn Walking Tour. The guide knew the history as if it came out of a book, but he did not add any experience or local knowledge to the tour. He did not seem engaged in the experience of being a tour guide and went through the motions of the tour but seemed disinterested. Thank goodness another lady visitor on the tour was able to answer our questions about local Faroese curiosities. Disappointing, as I’ve taken many city tours in my travels and they are usually excellent.

Jens is an experienced guide and has a very deep knowledge of Tórshavn and the Faroese history. We had a really nice walk to all important places of political, cultural and historic interest and there was always plenty of room for questions. I even learned about Faroese Saga and got a little introduction in the faroese language. 🙂 Jens is a friendly and attentive guy, he also asked if I prefer to start the tour a bit earlier as daylight is shorter in October on the Faroe Islands. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide if you visit Tórshavn!

Jens aswered great to all my questions and we had a real good conversation along the way.

I just wanted to leave a short review on the guided hike my mum and I had with Jens after booking through your site.
Before the hike Jens had already emailed a good, detailed itinerary so we knew where to be and when. The route was well marked and Jens was happy to give us plenty of information when we asked for it as well as the great talk that he gave as we were walking. Whilst the route is well marked with cairns and posts, having Jens along made the experience so much better as he was able to give us local insight into the route and area. The bonus of having Faroese beer along the way was also very worthwhile. Thank you, Jens and we would recommend to anyone.

The tour was amazing! Even though we went up the hill in cloudy conditions and didn’t see much, Jens was very entertaining and knowledgeable about all the things we asked about. We gained a great insight in Faroese culture while enjoying some nice local beers and some rather windy conditions.
The hike lasted around 2,5 hours as we didn’t stop a lot to take the view in. It is not a difficult climb – the first 20-30 minutes is uphill which can be daunting but it is not bad at all; and the last 15 minutes you have to be careful on the rocks – thus good hiking shoes are highly recommended!
The tour was amazing and it is very recommend for beginner hikers and people who would like to take the view in (if the weather allows).

A great idea to mix a hike with beer!!! I was the only customer for the very amiable Jens and I feared I would bore him to tears!! Luckily Jens is such a nice guy he put up with me for 4hrs. In essence the first 30 mins are uphill and the last 30 mins downhill and maybe just have to watch your step a little after the 3 strong beers kick in. We were lucky with the weather however and it proved to be a smashing day from start to finish. Drinking, talking football, which is a religion to this Burnley FC fan, and general chit chat made for a good afternoon. Try it people, it’s something different! Only negative is that Jens likes Man Utd 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️Dear, oh dear😂😂

I would strongly advice visitors to the Faroe Islands to do this hike from the outskirts from Tórshavn to the old King’s Farm named Kirkjubøur. Jens Hákun Leo is a fantastic knowledgeable and kind guide and he patiently answered all my questions. He will take you for a hike along the old route marked with cairns over the mountains. This is really the way to arrive at and experience Kirkubø! We stopped a couple of times for a beer and a snack which Jens carried with him. He also has other choices of drink, like coffe etc. The hike is not very hard, if you are reasonably fit.

After the two beers we walked comfortably to the small village Kirkjubøur. Afterwards by bus back to Torshavn.
