Efficient and reliable

I was planning a trip to Faer Oer islands and in the website I found such useful information. They offered several solutions and I decided for a 5- days self-drive tour. As soon as I booked I was given all the info about the hotel, the car pickup and the tunnel fees included, although it was months in advance.
I also found suggestions and tips for trekking and exploring the area.
Communication was always clear and timely.
Thanks Hogni for your availability!! The islands are marvellous!

Great experience and a fantastic trip and company

I had an absolutely incredible time in the Faroe Islands with Guide to Faroe Islands! I did the 7-day tour and every day was better than the last. The islands are truly stunning, breathtaking, and serene. Every day was a new and exciting adventure, with a nice mix of relaxed, driving, exploring days and more active hiking days.

I initially wanted to rent a car and drive around on my own but then decided against it. And I'm so glad I did. Having a local guide made the trip even more special. I don't think I would have made it to half the places if I had been on my own. The more remote locations only a local would know about ended up being some of my favorites.

Sveinur was a fantastic guide! He made sure we got to do and see everything we wanted to, and he went out of his way to make it a special experience for us. I really appreciated that he checked the weather for the next day and made adjustments to the itinerary to make sure we had the best experience on each island. He was also extremely funny and knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history and culture of the Faroes during our trip.

Hogni, the owner, was very responsive whenever I had questions before and during my trip. The website had a lot of information for me to compare tour options, and it was very quick and easy to book my tour.

I had an unforgettable trip and left with memories to last a lifetime. I hope to come back one day soon to explore more. I highly recommend a visit to the Faroe Islands and I definitely recommend Guide to Faroe Islands if you want a memorable trip.

Book this tour!

This tour package is the perfect blend of hiking, sightseeing, and free time to explore Torshavn on your own. It's hard to write a succinct review of this tour, as every day was incredible! I was blown away on a daily basis by that day's activities. The hikes and the surrounding landscapes are simply stunning. I also really enjoyed the boat tour of the Vestmanna sea cliffs and exploring small villages on the non-hiking days. And, the tour truly benefits from having a local family serving as the tour guides. Johan, his father Hans, his sister Hansi, and his brother Andreas were incredibly warm and friendly. It really added to the experience to hear about the island's history and culture from locals who clearly love their country. I also visited the islands as a solo traveler during a national strike. Johan and his family kept the tour running smoothly during what I'm sure was a stressful time. I feel very fortunate to have booked this tour and to have been able to see so many places during a single week. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Faroe Islands!!

Great Selection of Tours

Great Selection of Tours - Responsive Service.

What drew me to their website was the range of tours available. It meant that I could plan my holiday by just using one website. Unfortunately, due to the general strike, I had to cancel the tours I had arranged, but the team were really responsive and promised a full refund. I will rebook with them once I have new dates in mind.

Very helpful

We booked 5 tours with Guide to Faroe Islands and found them to be extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with.
Unfortunately, due to the uncertainty of the strike action taken place in the FI, we had to cancel our trip. Guide to Faroe Islands were most understanding and fully reimbursed out tours with no hesitation.

The Faroes-a favourite for any discerning traveller.…

We had the great pleasure to visit the Faroe Islands in May for 4 days.We took 2 "Guide To Faroe Islands" tours.We had the good fortune on each tour to experience the services of two OUTSTANDING guides.
Sadly we cannot remember the name of the elderly gentleman who conducted our 4 hour tour but the guide for our seven hour "See it All" tour was Elsa Maria Beerentsen.

On both tours our guides gave generously of their time and on the 4 hour tour we had our guide for 5 hours and on the seven hour tour Elsa Maria was with us for nearly 9 hours.

How lucky were we. Their knowledge of these beautiful, breathtaking islands was immense and we were continually fascinated by their personal stories as well as them telling us everything we wanted to know about this paradise on earth.

We cannot recommend "Guide To the Faroe Islands"highly enough.We came away feeling we had received more than our money's worth.

The only thing we feel sad about is that we only saw puffins at a distance flying through the skies.

Other than this, it was a perfect trip which we would recommend to anyone.

We are beyond excited to know that you really enjoyed both tours booked with us. Believe that even our local tour guides can be awe-struck by the beauty found on every corner in the Faroe Islands resulting in some tours ending up being a bit longer than planned haha! Thank you for your feedback! Hope you will get the chance to see puffins up close in the future.

This travel company is world class

This travel company is world class. Professional and efficient and importantly, operate from a deep sense of love for and knowledge about their amazing country. Put the Faroes right up there on your bucket list. I feel energised and enriched. I learned so much. Thank you to my guide Sveinur, who generously shared his knowledge and love of the Faroes. Great fun too.

After a very helpful booking process…

After a very helpful booking process from Australia we were looking forward to our tour of the Faroe Islands. Along with many others on Nieuw Statendam we were dismayed when the captain reluctantly made the decision to cancel our visit due to forecast unmanageable weather conditions for tendering ashore. The speed of the refund of our tour cost was amazing and we thank Hogni for his understanding and efficiency. We look forward to a future visit to the Faroe Islands and will definitely be using Guide to Faroe Islands again.

The weather around the Faroe Islands can be challenging and we are sorry that this affected your planned day tour to some of the remote small villages, waterfalls and more. As we have said to some other guests who ended in the same situation as you - Múlafossur Waterfall and Tjørnuvík will be waiting and same goes for the other attractions. We do hope that you get the chance to visit in the near future.

What an amazing company

What an amazing company , we had a tour booked and our ship had to divert because of bad weather. The company when notified had refunded our money within a couple of hours. Extremely good customer service and we hope to visit in the future to experience their tour.

Thank you, thank you! We were sorry to hear about your situation. Our islands are often called ‘the land of maybe’ and that was what you experienced when the ship had to cancel due to wind. Hope that you will make it to the Faroe Islands in the future!

Unfortunately we weren’t able to make the tour as our cruise port was cancelled. However I found Holgi to be very easy to communicate with & our funds were returned immediately. I sure would use them again.

I cannot thank these kind and…

I cannot thank these kind and compassionate people enough.

I wrote them from my hospital room because I had to cancel my trip and planned excursions.

Not only did the office respond to my email immediately, but I received a full refund and heartfelt wishes for my recovery.

Such kindness and compassion is rare; it touched my heart.

I will hopefully visit the beautiful Faroe Islands next summer, and when I do, I will book new excursions with this excellent company

Sincerely,

With peace and gratitude,

Jenna

Hi Anders. We love to hear how much you enjoyed the Faroe Islands - from the evening dinner in Velbastaður to your day tour on Streymoy island and Eysturoy island. It means the world to us that you choose to book the full package with Guide to Faroe Islands. Thank you again for supporting our local business and you are always welcome to visit in the future!

Great experience

We had a great time on the Faroe Islands in October 2021.

We had booked the boat trip "Vestmanna Sea Cliffs" - it was such a nice trip and the guide was great. The boat was able to enter small caves and we saw several seals in the waters around the Cliffs.

Our rental car was booked with "guide to Faroe Islands" - the car was both better priced and a nicer size/model than what was otherwise available from the rental companies at the airport.

Hogni from guide to Faroe Islands was really pleasant to talk to, and also very helpful regarding any other questions we had about restaurants, sports fishing and public transportation.

So if you are going to the Faroe Islands, I recommend getting in touch with guide to Faroe Islands no matter the subject.

Best wishes from Denmark

Thanks Charles. We are incredibly grateful that you took the time to leave us such a wonderful review. Happy to know that you liked the suggestions for what to see and do while you were in the Faroe Islands. Spotting the seals while on the Vestmanna Sea Cliffs tour must have added something extra to that experience. Great to know that the car suited in both size and price!

It was absolutely amazing

It was absolutely amazing! A wonderful experience and an interesting and very helpful guide. It was easy to book and as beginners at kayaking it was nice to be guided. The nature was so beautiful and it was so breathtaking to stand at the waterfall, which ran out into the atlantic ocean.

I can only give my warmest recomandations for this event!
