  1. Mark Schnitzer

    Great tour, Ditte was an amazing guide. The views were spectacular and even the weather was kind, which is not often the case in the Faroes. Even if you only have one day in the Faroes, this is the tour to take. Thanks Ditte!

  2. Gabriel Pemberton

    The tour with Ditte was very good, she really pays attention to the individual and takes an interest, and tries to make the tour as personal as possible so that you get the best experience.

    She is very sociable and warm & what’s you to experience the best the Faroese has to offer, (people and places), she knows the different islands and most photographic places to visit as well which means visitors will have a great time when out with Ditte on tour.

  3. Viktor Soe

    Ditte is a fantastic guide who is not only knowledgeable, but also flexible. She was very accommodating in adjusting the tour based on which locations I have visited prior to the tour, and she substituted it with a little city tour and added some other photo-stop locations. She also takes care of her clients’ well-being and makes them feel engaged and welcomed. Would strongly recommend this tour!

  4. Debra Brashear

    I can’t even begin to describe what a pleasure it was to have Ditte Joensen as my guide. She was so accommodating to my ever changing schedule – picked me up promptly and the tour began. She is so knowledgeable about so many facets of her country. She also has a soothing and calming demeanor that made her sense of humor and lightheartedness, the icing on the cake. Classy, down to earth and a sheer joy. We laughed a lot, which makes any tour all the more pleasurable. I wouldn’t hesitate to specifically request Ditte on future visits to the Faroe Islands.

    We had a lovely photographing tour with Ditte at the end of a landscape photo tour we did in the Islands. Ditto was very flexible in her plans for us as we had visited all the main locations already. We wanted to revisit some areas for missed shots as well as some off the beaten path locations. Ditte not only stepped up to the challenge, she had many interesting details, stories and discussions to add to the experience. I would recommend hiring Ditte for her tour of top locations. Thanks for a lovely day with a difference.

    The photography tour with Ditte was more than I ever could have imagined. Incredible views, hikes, quaint villages, and mountainous and coastal roads. We had so much fun, it felt like a dream! I highly recommend this tour to see what beautiful Eysturoy has to offer and the wealth of knowledge that Ditte has to share!

  7. Barbara Iuliano

    Tailored experience with an excellent guide. Strongly recommended.
    Da Tórshavn a Gjgov e ritorno: un fantastico roundtrip, attraversando villaggi, paesaggi e luoghi indimenticabili. Ditte, guida eccezionale, ci ha accompagnati alla scoperta del nord di Eysturoy, con grande competenza ed estrema disponibilità. Parla perfettamente l’italiano. Il ‘pick me up tour’ è un’esperienza di viaggio che consiglio a chiunque desideri un tour su misura con una guida fantastica ad un prezzo comunque accessibile.

  8. Chantel Rowe

    A really great day, getting to notice all the little waterfalls or spots or angles that you might otherwise have missed without a local. A very chill, laid back day of conversation, coffee and photography, and Ditte was even nice enough to lend me her SLR as I hadn’t been able to travel with mine! See you when I come back!

  9. Mark Huggenberger

    My tour with Ditte can only be described with the word epic. She’s a fantastic guide. I emailed her beforehand, and informed her of the two other tours, which I had booked, beside the private tour with her. She took me to places where neither of the other two tours took me. She also navigated around the weather (fog) perfectly, and found stunning spots with fantastic views. Besides guiding she also works as a photographer. She’s very talented in this field, hence she can take memorable shots for you, and she knows excatly where to go to get the picture-postcard scenery. I had an absolutly amazing experience, and I can highly recommend her.

  10. Donald Marks

    Our half day tour with Ditte was no less than amazing. Her choice of itinerary could not have been better, and her enthusiasm for the Faroes rubs off in an infectious way.

  11. João Lopes

    Very good choice to squeeze on last tour before leaving Faroe Islands, visiting Tjørnuvík and Saksun.
    Another great experience with Ditte, who guided me on the tour and took me to the airport.

  12. Katie Lennox

    Ditte is an amazing tour guide!! We had such a wonderful day with her, and she was so fun to talk to. After our first tour was canceled, we were very upset and unsure of what to do with our day. Ditte came to our rescue and took us on a great tour of Streymoy and Eysturoy. She went above and beyond, taking great care of us. Ditte is a great photographer, so she will show you great spots for photos. When we come back to the Faroes in the future, we will certainly be spending time with Ditte!

  13. Dominic Maley

    Amazing tour. Our guide was exceptionally friendly. We met early, to get a good start on the day, and were lucky with the weather. It cleared up and we had spectacular views back from the lighthouse across to the other islands.

  14. Fabrizio Rosati

    The tour with Ditte was been fantastic!
    She is very professional.

  15. Terri

    Thanks to my guide Ditte I was able to enjoy and make the most of my trip on Faroe Islands even though it was rainy and foggy on the day of the tour. I really appreciate her flexibility and the positive energy she brought along with. Another bonus point of this tour is that you’ll be able to bring back lots of awesome photos because of her knowledge of photography and the best photo spots. Thank you Ditte for this wonderful tour!

  16. Maria Berrueta

    Totally recommend this tour! Ditte was really friendly, and she planned an amazing day according to my interests and requests. She took care of all the details to make the most of the day. And a very cool photographer as well!

  17. Evi Gogoulou

    We had a fantastic day with Ditte, who guided us around the Eysturoy island. We really recommend this tour for people interested in photography, as Ditte is a great photographer herself.

  18. Peter and Peta Davis

    Our day tour on Faroe Island was a great experience. Ditte is an exceptional local guide who was able to show us wonderful sights including some not on the normal tourist trail – we felt we experienced much of what local life and nature is like on our visit to Faroe Island! It was fun, educational and seeing so many Puffins was extra special! Highly recommend. Peter and Peta.

  19. Sarah Rochfort

    Ditte made sure she took us to all the places we wanted to go. She is a photographer, so she knows the best scenic places. Our ship arrived late, but she picked us up at 1:30pm and took us back to our ship at 9pm after a full day of site seeing. Definitely recommend.

  20. jessica butz

    I was so impressed with my guide’s knowledge and experience of the area. She was attentive and made sure she was aware of my skill level so she could appropriately tailor the experience. It was also easy to contact her the day before the tour when the weather looked like it might change quickly. The weather was windy and rainy but this didn’t take away from the tour at all! In fact it only added to the experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

  21. Rod Kantor

    I did this tour on my last day in the country. I was really pleased about that as Vágar has some of the most iconic sights in the Faroes. This tour was with professional photographer, Ditte. She was great company on the trip with lots of information to share and knew the best spots to go to. Gásadalur was as remarkable to see as the pictures promised. A short visit to Bøur was followed by the hike to Trælanípa and the onward walk to the top of Slave Cliff. It was a great day out and a really fitting end to my stay on Faroes thanks to the efforts of Ditte.

  22. Jovie Ng

    It was great to meet Ditte. She is very nice and knowledgeable. She told us many interesting stories about faroe islands. And we had a good day ! Definitely will find her again next time! Highly recommended.

  23. Casey Schmidt

    Ditte was THE BEST! I mean, the Faroese people repeatedly proved themselves to be some of the kindest, most friendly and welcoming people I have ever come across. But Ditte and I just clicked right away and had a great day walking and talking and taking beautiful photos. The weather could not have cooperated more, but it really was with Ditte’s help and guidance that I captured some fantastic photos to bring back home. Everyone should book with her!

  24. S Blake Wade

    Ditte was amazing. The day was wet and very windy, but she competently led us to see what we had requested and guided us to assure we were safe. With her expertise, we were able to experience Vagar Island’s hidden and special spots.

  25. Greg Flores

    Ditte was a good guide.

  26. André George Camalionte

    I came all the way from Brazil to visit the North for a few weeks – I had 12 days in Iceland, 4 days in Greenland, and only 1 day in the Faroe Islands, in which I chose to take the Photography Tour with Ditte, and I can say very happily – this was the BEST day of my entire trip! We had perfectly sunny weather, visited the most beautiful places I have ever seen and I had a perfect day overall. Ditte was a blessing – she took me to the best places, where most tourists ignore, showed me the best angles for the pictures, told me so many interesting facts about the Faroe Islands culture and history, and even took amazing pictures of me using her own camera! We had really great conversations during the hikes, she is an amazing person, and I’m really happy I got to meet her. In Gasádalur, we even visited a local house, played with dogs and chickens, and she stopped in many places on the way for me to get great pictures. But Ditte also made sure that I got enough time to just enjoy the moment and the scenery, without cameras to distract me – those are some of my precious memories of the trip! Oh and I definitely should add that she was absolutely concerned with my safety above everything, always pointing out which places she felt weren’t very safe to stand or sit down – something that, as a tourist, I couldn’t know, so I value it a lot. Takk fyrir for a perfect day! And I really recommend this tour to everyone, even if you have just one day in the Islands (you should really stay longer, though!)

  27. Filippa Isaksson

    We got the chance to enjoy very beautiful sights around Vágar. We had the nicest guide, Ditte. She’s a photographer and showed us really great places such as Sørvágsvatn and the waterfall in Gasadalur. She told us interesting facts and myths about the area. We ended up having a perfect day in the exceptional nature, with a little bit of thanks to unusually nice weather and a big thank you to our guide Ditte.

    One of the highlights of my Europe solo trip was visiting the Faroe Islands. I was very keen on doing a guided tour and found this tour to be very interesting. On the day of the tour I found that I was the only person that had signed up and thought that this would be cancelled, but it wasn’t. Ditte, the guide, picked me up at my hostel in Vagar. We started out in the afternoon and the weather was not the most pleasant. It was drizzling and super cloudy. But as we started hiking towards Trælanípan, it completely cleared and we had the perfect weather – clear blue skies, sun and great natural lighting! One of the added benefits for me was to get my photo clicked from a pro photographer which rarely happens for a solo traveller! haha. I got to see some of the most stunning locations in Faroe Islands, thanks to Ditte. She is an amazing person and I am very glad to have made a friend. I highly recommend this tour with Ditte 🙂

  29. Danielle Garofalo

    This is an essential tour when visiting the Faroes. Ditte knows everything about the islands and will help you get the best shots for your memories! My favorite tour on my trip!! Can’t wait to go back

  30. Pavlos Euthymiou

    Great tour with a great guide! Ditte knows her way around the Faroes and also the tricks the weather can play on tourists. Our tour to Traelanipa and Gasadalur was great, even though at times we had really bad weather. She was always kind and helpful and it was a pleasure having her as my guide.
    As for Guide to Faroe Island, I cannot thank enough! I bought the tour 2 days before and the contact with them was always fast, be it thru the site (very well organized), be it thru the social media.
    All in all, I super recommend Guide to Faroe Islands!

  31. Valentina De Nicola

    Ditte did a terrific job!

  32. Eliza Appel

    Really brilliant day trip, I was the only person on it and she still went out of her way to give me a great first day in the Faroe Islands. Very personalised and we went where the weather was best. A good trip if you want to ease into the islands and get all the best shots of everything you’ve seen in the brochures! Highly highly recommend!

  33. Rosalind Murray-Harvey

    The 5-day photo tour with Ditte as our guide was a success in so many ways. Whether you like it or not, the weather controls the islands. So, thanks to Ditte who planned ahead to adjust the itinerary daily around the weather forecasts. Conversations about weather dictated when, what, and how we explored. Ditte’s local knowledge and expertise and her personal ‘touches’ cannot be underestimated. Maybe because we were the only two with Ditte on this tour, and we could be flexible, we were afforded the most spectacular opportunities to appreciate the landscape and learn a little about Faroese history and culture. The photo memories along with the personal connections and taste sensations will be forever treasured.
