Your guide was born in Kvívík and has lived in the village most of her life. Her in-depth knowledge of this place and personal stories about the locals are passionately conveyed during the cultural tour of Kvívík. The tour will let you live and feel the everyday life in a traditional village in the archipelago.

The walk-and-talk tour of Kvívík starts in your tour guide's workshop. This is her home where you are welcomed with coffee and freshly-baked pastries. You will be introduced to Kingo, an ancient form of traditional hymn singing. Your guide is one of very few people that performs this type of singing in the Faroe Islands.

You will also get a unique insight into traditional Faroese village life. From ancient ways of living to Faroese art today. Expect to also learn about the traditional chain dancing, culture, and religion.

There are exciting Viking excavations in the village that you will experience. Vikings settled the village thousand year ago.

These lovely houses dates back to the Vikings. 

Along the route, you will have a look at how urbanisation continues to change life in small villages across the country. Still, there are lots of tut-roofed houses in the villages. There are several grass covered buildings here. These houses will make perfect pictures to take with you home from one of the less visited villages in the Faroe Islands. 

Travellers say this cultural tour in Kvívík is truly unique and and authentic experience away from the crowds. Check availability by choosing a date.
