  1. Mikkel Schneekloth –

    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

  2. Bianca Anita Wulz –

    We had a great trip with nice weather and a good Guide. It was a perfect day ashore. Coming in with a cruise ship I really recommend this tour. Perfectly organized and a good change away from the masses.

  3. Galen and Sigrid –

    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.

  4. Irina Munteanu –

    I had a very nice hike and surprising sunny and hot day (16 Celsius ! :-)).
    Thank you, Tummas !

  5. Gill Richards –

    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.

  6. Ros Hurn –

    Our visit to Suduroy turned out to be even more exciting than anticipated. However we were in the safe hands of Tomas – a knowledgable, kind and very welcoming young man with a great sense of humour – the latter turning out to be essential as the day wore on.

    After a two-hour ferry ride south we spent a really interesting day on this beautiful, southern island – a mixture of emerald green agricultural land and spectacular cliffs and turf-roofed houses. At Café Mor Mor we ate a wonderful fish soup and home-made bread. It is really worth mentioning the bread in the Faroes as it is almost entirely home-baked and absolutely delicious.

    Then the news was delivered by an ever-calm Tomas . . . . the ferry back to Tórshavn had been cancelled. Tomas “just happened” to have a cousin with a holiday house on the island. A quick ‘phone call and we had a cosy base for a cup of tea and a wait for information. The ferry was not going to sail that night but we had to get back to Streymoy. Tomas “just happened” to have a friend with a small fishing boat . . . . .

    Tomas was an absolute star, as was his friend Flosi, and we had a truly memorable sunset sail back to Streymoy.

    I highly recommend Tomas – he was an excellent guide and I would like to thank him for an exceptional day’s sightseeing.

  7. Friederike Rohrauer –

    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…..

  8. Jana Schubiger –

    I‘m very happy i booked the Tour to Suduroy when i stayed on the Faroe Islands this summer. We did a lot of very nice hikes with the most beautiful landscapes to wittness. Tummas did an awesome job as a tourguide and i am really thankful he did not cancel the tour even i was the only one who booked the tour that day.
    I can only recommend to take that tour to one of the most beautiful places on the Faroe Islands.

  9. Ester Berk –

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

  10. Ros Oktania Sitorus –

    Everything was fantastic.

    Suduroy is beautiful , especially SUMBA…which is have same name with the the beautiful island in my country, Indonesia.

  11. Mary Clements –

    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!!!

  12. Jack Liang –

    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.

  13. Teresa Alba Lupin –

    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

  14. Gurbir Gosal –

    The hike is absolutely beautiful and very easy going with a very small gradient. The guide was great for all my tours I booked. I booked group tours and ended up being the only tourist and getting private tours each day!! This was my last tour with them, the lake over the ocean is absolutely stunning, like a optical illusion. The tour guide was also very friendly and easy to get along with and will easily keep you entertained with which ever topic you want to talk about. I booked three tours with him and ended up learning so much more, then just the Faroe Islands when it comes to the tours but we talked about religion, economics, cuisine, politics and so much more regarding the islands. It was a great trip, highly recommend. There is a beautiful place on the cliff to have lunch and see the calm lake over the roaring ocean.

  15. Tanya Muscat –

    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!

  16. Bruce Ng –

    This tour was just amazing! The tour guides were professional and knowledgeable. We got to see the beautiful waterfall and optical illusion lake. Also, there’re some surprises at the end of the tour. I appreciate that and I would say this is a must-do if you ever go to Faroe Islands!

  17. Doreen Glismann –

    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!

  18. Carsten Scheel –

    Fantastisk tur og flink og dygtig guide !
    Vi vil klart anbefale denne tur.

  19. Carolina –

    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!

  20. Leticia –

    Absolutely amazing! Our guide (Janus) was not an usual guide but he should be 🙂
    The whether was incredible and the views breathtaking. Lovely people and we even got lunch, and I must say I was very very glad it was a plant bar one. So thankful for the consideration.
    No cons, just pros ;D

  21. Alan Rodgers –

    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.

  22. Manuela Cano –

    Journée très agréable, encadrée par Andreas, guide très disponible pour toutes nos questions, bienveillant, de bonne humeur. A recommander !

  23. Louise Brand –

    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.

  24. Jennifer Thorne –

    My guide, Tummas, was absolutely excellent! Would recommend him to anyone. The hike was terrific–we had great weather to see all of the sights.

  25. Travis Chan –

    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.

  26. Ev –

    Amazing views and landscapes all along the coast.
    My guide was as much sympathic as interesting.
    U had a great day and would warmly recommand this Vagar tour.

  27. Nikos –

    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!

  28. Gustavo Jorquera –

    A great tour. Since the beggining to the end. Beautiful places, espectacular views lo and the guide Tummas was a very important plus. Always worried about your safety and funny conversations.
    Completely recomended.

  29. Carina Vega –

    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.

  30. christiane bergeron –

    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

  31. Andy Bernstein –

    My wife and I recently went on the “Faroe Islands Highlights” tour. We didn’t have much time in the Faroe Islands, and also didn’t have a car, so were hoping to see as much as possible in a one-day guided tour. David, our tour guide and also co-owner of Heimdal, provided exactly that. He was well-informed, professional, and extremely personable. During the seven hour tour, we thoroughly explored the two largest islands, Streymoy and Esturoy, visiting some of the most beautiful sites on the Faroe Islands, including the villages of Saksun, Tjørnuvík, and Gjøgv. Along the way David provided great commentary, ranging from historical facts to personal anecdotes about his life on the islands (he’s an expat from the UK). We even managed to squeeze in an impromptu pit stop for coffee at his lovely Faroese mother-in-law’s place! If you ever find yourself in the Faroe Islands (which I highly recommend!), do yourself a favour and book this tour…you won’t regret it!

  32. Ezequiel Adatto –

    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!

  33. Anders Riise Koch –

    David is an absolutely excellent guide. This tour was one of the best I’ve ever been on anywhere in the world. The tour takes you to most of the major sites in the Faroe Islands without ever feeling rushed. I would highly recommend this tour to any visitor to the Faroe Islands.

  34. Erik Sølgaard –

    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

  35. Margaret –

    I would highly recommend this tour we had an amazing day.

    When we booked I advised we are Gluten Free and was advised that would not be a problem, and we had a lovely lunch that accommodated GF people.

    The tour guide was very informative and a really nice guy, very pleasant. We enjoyed everything about the tour, and we were really pleasantly surprised when we stopped at the ruin of the cathedral and went inside a beautiful wooden house. It was really fascinating. The couple that were also taking the tour were lovely people from NZ so there was just the 4 of us on the tour. Really great and a nice comfy vehicle.

  36. Steffen Goelkel –

    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!!

  37. Timothy McCormick –

    Perfect guide !!!! Can’t wait to return !!!

  38. Scott Reed –

    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

  39. Katarina Jeraeus –

    I turned out to be the only person booked for the tour this day, but luckily my guide David decided to carry it through anyway, as his father was also visiting and could join us.
    I had such a fantastic day with these two gentlemen! David was a very knowledgeable and informative guide who told me all sorts of things about history, traditions and society on the islands. It was of course luxurious to be the only client on the tour, but even with a full group of 7-8 people there would have been plenty of time for questions and discussions.
    We visited pretty villages and beautiful sights, the nature of the Faroese islands is indeed stunning! Even the weather was relatively cooperative 🙂
    We also had the pleasure of having some delicious waffles with home made rhubarb jam and coffee on the way – sold and served in the private kitchen of a very friendly Faroese couple.
    I would really recommend this tour!

  40. Simret Samra –

    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 🙂

  41. Jude Owens –

    Extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. Great tour with stunning scenery!

  42. Ash Syah Reza –

    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

  43. Ivana Lenardic –

    I had a great time on our tour regardless of the weather which, however dull, I wasn’t even paying attention to because of all the scenery and nice things we got to see! 🙂 Tummas, our guide, was pleasant, easy going, very interesting and knowledgable. So glad I did the tour!

  44. Peter morrison –

    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.

  45. MATHILDE CUCCHI –

    Great tour if you only have a limited time to spend in the Faroe Islands and would like to see as much as possible in one day. The guide was great, friendly and answering every question with plenty of details. Learned a lot about local life and saw plenty of nice spots! The included lunch was also appreciated 🙂 Absolutely recommending this tour.

  46. Ninna Bengtsson –

    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!

  47. Paul Kavanagh –

    great tour, friendly informative guide, highly recommended!

  48. Michael Willemse –

    Good tour and overview of the islands.

  49. Blanka Elekes Szentagotai –

    Absolutely loved the tour!
    David was kind enough to take me on the tour alone after other participants cancelled. He was really knowledgeable about the island, and didn’t mind answering lots of questions. We made many photos stops along the way and the packed lunch in Tjornuvik was fabulous.

  50. Sven Trachsel –

    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.

  51. Klaus Peter Laube –

    What a lovely tour! Our guide (David) was so nice and thoughtful. The weather wasn’t that great, but everything else met all the expectations.

  52. Sofie Christensen –

    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!

  53. Susanne Bech Jensen –

    Fantastisk tur med en virkelig dygtig og behagelig guide

  54. Helle Soling –

    Everything was just perfekt for us.
    The guide was so good at telling the stories and took us very interesting places.
    We recommend the tour around the Island.
    We definately come back to this beautiful place.

  55. Sarah Jevrem –

    The tour was fantastic!

  56. Rebecca Cardie –

    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!

  57. Alex Garcia –

    It was great and highly recommend it. Tummy was an amazing guide!

  58. Ziggi Santini –

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

  59. Karin Straume –

    The tour was just fantastic and the guide was excellent!

  60. Yijue Lloyd Liu –

    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.

  61. Gerardo Lowisky –

    I want to thank you for the good time that I spent with you.
    The guide was great and the excursion better.
    Thank you and see you soon.

  62. Anita Köbler –

    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.

  63. Chuck bennett –

    Tummas was wonderful and made us feel very comfortable for the day. His knowledge of the islands and it’s history made a great experience for our small group of 4. . I highly recommend this day tour it gave us great perspective and a sense of the islands and what to do the rest of the trip. Ask for Tummas he’s a great guide!! 5 stars Tummas thank you for a great day.

  64. Jill Melkonian –

    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.

  65. Helle Qvortrup –

    Perfekt trip – perfekt guide 🙂

  66. CHRISTINE VON HÖRDE –

    It was great, thanks a lot!

  67. Marina Ozerov –

    It was very good tour.
    Many thanks

  68. Eva Rasmussen –

    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.

  69. Magnus Malmgren –

    Great day. Superb service and guide. We we were extremely lucky with the weather as well. But if I could give six stars I would

  70. Kate Crawford –

    5 stars!

  71. Frank Boehme –

    Super Tour

  72. Sabine Drieskens –

    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.

  73. Mason Huberty –

    Very well done. They have a very good setup here, very enjoyable.

  74. Jean-Marc Heinicke –

    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.

  75. Edmond Etlinger –

    It was a very pleasant tour with Borgfrið, who has a great knowledge about her home, and she told us many interesting stories and facts. The places which we visited are breathtakingly beautiful – as is almost everything on the Faroe Islands. I really recommend this tour because it takes you to places which otherwise are hard to get by.

  76. Trea de lange –

    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!

  77. Anna Means –

    Guide was great: personable, informative. Good introduction to the area. Wonderful time even though the weather was a bit inclement.

  78. Argyro Galani –

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

  79. Klaus Ørum –

    En super spændende tur, hvor Tomas guide føre os gennem Færøernes geologi, biologi, histore og samfundsforhold på eksemplarisk vis
    Var mætte at indtryk og havde fået boostet vores viden om Færøerne ca 500%
    Klart anbefalelsesværdigt, hvis det er din første gang på øerne

  80. Mary Clements –

    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.

  81. AIKATERINI POLYCHRONI –

    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!

  82. Anita Schoemaker –

    The tour was excellent. The tour guide is very nice and it is great that you did not walk the steap slope.

  83. Sarah Pedersen –

    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.

  84. John Walke –

    Great day trip our guide Tummas was very friendly and a great guide. The hike itself was quite tiring but the views and being surrounded by puffins made it worthwhile! Highly recommend this tour which was well worth the money.

  85. Andrew Knight –

    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

  86. Marina Fabbi –

    Our guide was excellent. We enjoyed a long hike and had great views. The weather was incredibly clear and sunny and this contributed to make the day amazing.

  87. Lena Lauridsen –

    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

  88. Signe Thorlaksen –

    Jeg havde en super god tur, guiden Tummas fortalte mange interessante ting om Færøernes kultur, historie og dyreliv og var hyggeligt selskab. Han var god til at spotte dyr som jeg ellers havde misset, både fugle og sæler. Det var en behagelig tur i ens eget tempo. Det blæste meget den dag jeg var der, vindtæt tøj/ vanter er godt at have med. Selve sejlturen var meget flot. På øen blev vi inviteret på kaffe hos gæstfrie Oda Andreasen (se hendes fantastiske billeder på Instagram).

    Jeg vil selv gerne på denne tur igen med familien når jeg kommet tilbage til Færøerne! Varm anbefaling af denne tur med Heimdal Tours!

  89. Francis Barciak –

    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.

  90. Luke –

    Absolutely terrific day, if you’re able to get to Mykines during your visit I’d strongly recommend this tour. To start with, the operator was kind enough to accomodate my late request for a hotel transfer to & from Torshavn which was much appreciated.

    When we arrived on Mykines, our guide Tomass led us off in the other direction to most of the people on the island which worked out wonderfully well. We hiked up to a terrific spot where we enjoyed the excellent provided lunch. It was then along a ridge to the other end of the island where the larger puffin colony was located, and we passed the throng of people heading the other way.

    This meant we were able to enjoy the puffins with very few other people around, which made the whole experience more relaxed. A great way to see the island.

    Hats off to Tomass for a splendid day, right from the start of going over & above trying to track down 2 people who didn’t show & thus missed the boat.

    His knowledge, enthusiasm & obvious pride about the Faroes helped make it a very enjoyable experience from start to finish.

    We were fortunate with the weather in that there was little wind & cloud, but layering up is advisable – especially if you stand out on deck during the boat trip across. It can be a little steep and/or narrow a couple of times too, so if you are considering walking pole/s then it won’t go astray.

    Having everything arranged was a great way to see Mykines, I’d encourage anyone thinking of heading out there to do it this way

    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.

    We were there on the last day of the season and there were still Puffins around. Also gannets and Fulmars and lots of them, a Whimbrel in the grass. o Kittiwakes but we were late in the season.
    Tour was excellent and the guide Tomass knew his stuff. Lunch overlooking the Fulmars and Gannets flying the cliffs was great.

    It was a great day and I would recommend this trip if it is the only trip you do during your stay – provided you are within the tour time frame.
