    I took this tour as I wanted to see as much of Faroe Islands as possible. This is a Private tour & was avaliable on Saturday, booked it through my hotel. They picked me up from my hotel at 9AM & we started the tour. We went to various places as highlighted in the tour, it was fun & relaxing & the guide was excellent, spoke very good English, & was very through & knowledgeable , knew all the correct spots & places to see & take pictures, had excellent knowledge about Faroe Islands & its history. Lunch was included in the package & was very good in a local Faroese Restaurant. He gave us enough time to absorb the beauty & take pictures, no rush or hurry.

    I would highly recommend this private tour to anyone, & would definitely contact them again next time I am in The Faroe Islands.

  2. Chantel Helmersen

    I have to say. Your service was just amazing. I send my best regards to the tour guide Gunnar.

  3. Lis Abildtrup Møller

    Vi havde en fantastisk tur med Simon som guide. Han kunne svare på alle vores utallige spørgsmål samt supplere med små sjove anekdoter og stort kendskab til den færøske kultur. Vi er glade for at have set så. meget af det flotte land og turen får 5 stjerner og stor tak til Simon.

  4. Natalie Ciapponi

    We had a fantastic 7 hour tour with Andreas today and it was the highlight of the trip. Much gratitude for the knowledge and hospitality he shared with us.

  5. Louise Byg Kongsholm

    An insightful and interesting trip to all of the most important sights. We were lucky; the sun was shining the entire day.
    We were only 2 people on the trip, so it was a bit faster than originally planned. Left time for us to shop… 🙂

  6. Matteo Ficarella

    This was a fantastic tour with an amazing guide. The guide was extremely friendly and outgoing, gave lots of information/history of the islands, and went above and beyond our expectations. The food provided was great and plenty of time was given to explore and take pictures. We were debating whether to book a tour or explore on our own, and we’re very glad we went with a tour instead as it allowed us to relax and learn about the islands as we went. If returning to the islands, we would definitely book through Jóhan’s company again and would reccomend to others!

  7. Richard Pedersen

    We loved our tour and our guide Andreas was perfect. His enthusiasm for his homeland brought a marvelous depth to the insights he shared. Our time together was expertly managed and the commentary was uplifting and fascinating. While the tour is pricey, in my opinion, this is absolutely the very best way to spend your precious time in the Faroe Islands. I can’t think of another tour anywhere I have enjoyed as much as this one. I’d rate him six stars if I could.

  8. Paul Blood

    Our tour with Andrias was lots of fun. Andrias is a very knowledgeable Faroe Islander who appreciates and loves his home country.
    You can’t see everything in seven hours and, in fact, our tour was only six hours, but this tour is a good introduction to the region close to Torshavn.

  9. Jeanne Tousley

    I will be back. Tour was epic, the islands we visited were painfully beautiful. I wish I had more than several hours to explore the islands but our guide was amazing and showed us everything we had on the list and more! Thanks so much. Cannot wait to come back!

  10. DUSAN KRICKA

    Great and professional!
    All recommendations!

  11. Jovie Ng

    The driver came on time and rode us to airport very smoothly. The car was clean. Highly recommended.

  12. GRACE LEE

    Driver was extremely kind and an informative guide. I would definitely use this service again next time I am in the Faroe Islands.

  13. Henry Kwok

    Reliable and punctual. Spacious van was arranged. Driver checked with passengers for their time and took the mountain route which was much more scenic. Completely felt the hospitality!

  14. Mark Wallaker

    Arrived on time, removing all stress from the final part of an excellent trip. Would definitely recommend

  15. Giovanna Pegoraro

    Driver in perfect time and very polite.

  16. Alfred Wicaksono Liem

    Hassle free service and fast response from the company when I contacted them… I would recommend this tour to anyone that need a transport from Vagar Aiport to Torshvan and vice versa…

  17. Jacob Nisgaard Larsen

    Vi var meget tilfreds med taxa turen og servicen fra operatøren, da vi blev afhentet i lufthavnen ved ankomst.

  18. Hannah

    Fantastic service, my pick up (sadly, I don’t recall his name) was waiting for me. Super easy transfer and really friendly service. Highly recommend.

  19. Lone Mikkelsen

    Jeg blev mødt af en service, der ligger langt ud over hvad man kan forvente. Chaufføren var der, da flyet landede, selv om jeg havde bestilt til senere, hvis der skulle være forsinkelser. Han blev der indtil jeg havde fundet huset, der var lidt svært at finde og han hjalp med at bære min meget tunge kuffert ind. Så jeg følte mig meget velkommen og i trygge hænder. Kan varmt anbefales.

  20. Azeyanagi Mitsuki

    The driver informed us of the change in flight departure time in advance and arranged a pick-up time so that we could spend the morning at the hotel.
    Also, during the transfer to the airport, he took us a place with a wonderful view.
    Thanks to him, we were able to finish this business trip in a very good way.
    Thank you:)

  21. Chris Moseley

    Great service . Simon was very friendly & knowledgeable, Giving lots of tips for my stay !

  22. Susanne Hagen

    Thanks for the uncomplicated and very nice transport to the airport! Will be back and book with you 😉

  23. Susanne Hagen

    Super friendly, punctual, welcoming – just perfect. I would have booked a guided tour had I known the family business offers them, too! Definitely going to book again! Thank you 🙂

  24. Andrew Parrington

    Everything was perfect, thanks very much!

  25. Magnus Malmgren

    perfect service, was waiting outside the airport with a sign with my name on it, safe and friendly driver

  26. Autumn Rivard

    Absolutely Perfect!
    Despite the delay on our flight, he was right there waiting for us when we arrived. The vehicle had plenty of space for our luggage. (This was our last stop on a month long trip, so we had accumulated quite a bit) He was very friendly, even gave us a some interesting tourist bits on the way. Would happily book again.

  27. JOHN BERGANT

    Absolutely perfect. Highly recommended.

  28. Autumn Rivard

    Perfect Transfer!

  29. Molly

    Had a great drive with Gunnar from the airport to my apartment in Torshavn. Would definitely recommend!

  30. Annika

    Easy to find pre – booked taxi. Nice chauffear. Drove carefully. Clean minibus.

  31. Jure Ljubicic

    Amazing experience. Driver was waiting at the airport even after my flight was delayed a hour and gave great insights as we drove across the country. I would highly recommend this experience to anybody visiting the Faroe’s for the first time.

  32. Ana Soares

    The driver did a few stops on the way to the airport for us to take pictures. These are amazing and beautifull islands. He was very helpfull.

  33. Kong Wai Fun

    We enjoyed the drive from airport to our apartment, and we have an additional stop at the lighthouse which is beautiful, and the driver give us good information about Faore.

  34. Thomas Alexander Chapman

    Quick and efficient service

  35. Satoshi Akiyama

    Jóhan was a great coordinator of tour! He has wonderful knowledge about Faroe Islands. It made me super good trip. If I visit there again, Definitely I need his guide.
    Thanks Jóhan!

  36. Willian Braga

    It was a remarkable experience! During the trip, I have learned a lot about the Faroe Island about history, culture, lifestyle, the economics and so on.

    The places were also magnificent and pleasant to see. I took so many pictures during this travel

  37. Rohit Bagchi

    The tour with Johan was also great. Because i already have seen one waterfall he decide me bring me to sightseeing (oldtown a bit outside the city) in stead of it and that was really cool. 5 out of 5 stars.

  38. Stephanie Hedelius

    It was an amazing tour with an even more amazing guide! Johan was all you could ask for in a guide, and he is the kindest faroese you will ever meet! The best spent money ever

  39. Judit Hedelius

    Johan is a great guide! Friendly, knowledgeable, easy-going, and he has a great route for you. The trip never gets awkward because he’s very entertaining with a lot of faroese facts.
    The best investment in a guided tour with him ever. -A frequent traveller-

  40. Tore Lauritzen

    Easy review. Nice trip. Johan is very talkative, polite, easygoing and clearly knows a lot about the area and the faroe islands in general. A very good guide who i’d gladly recommend to anyone.

  41. John Homer

    Great day, only 2 of us and Johan really tailored the day to our needs. Amazing hike and sights. Johan is a great guy and a safe pair of hands. We learned a lot from him and wish to thank him very much.

  42. Maria Berrueta

    You must take this tour! The views are amazing and Johan is a great and friendly guide! He went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time. I am not a hiker and he helped me with my struggles along the way. We had a wonderful day!

  43. Laura Cano Santamaría

    We had an amazing time. Johan knows the best spots to see all what’s worthy in Vágar. You’ll see stunning landscapes and waterfalls, you’ll hike and he’ll bring you to a beautiful beach to have lunch. Moreover, he does the guides in small groups, what I think is a plus.

  44. Siew Ying, Esther

    Johan, our amazing guide that not only friendly, but also with a good sense of humour & plenty knowlege about Faroe Islands. Amazing journey and definitely one of the highlight tour 😊 Takk fyri Johan

  45. Rachelle Palley

    The views were spectacular and Simon our tour guide was very personable. The hike was exactly as advertised. Would do this excursion again. The lunch provided was delicious!

  46. Erin Tooker

    Johan is the best! Had such a great time on this tour. Love that Johan only takes small groups so the tour feels really personalized and you feel like you’re traveling with a group of new friends and not on a big travel tour. Everyone on my tour had already been in the Faroe Islands for several days, so rather than go over the same basic facts about the Islands, Johan really tried to give us more interesting stories and insights and was great about answering any questions we had. He was also incredibly helpful for some of the group that weren’t sure about how to get around the islands for other tours they had booked. I can’t say enough good things about Johan and this incredibly fun tour. Just be aware it’s more of a 6 hour tour than 5 hour (Johan has tried to get this listing updated to note this). Five stars all around!

  47. Nicole Jerry

    Truly an Inspiring Hike

    Johan is the very best! My sister and I had an exceptional day hiking with Johan and learning all about the Faroe Islands. Firstly, I will just say that Johan is exceptionally competent and has a deep knowledge of the Faroes (we learned so much!). The whole day was really well done — a pickup directly from our hotel in Torshavn, then off to see some exceptional vistas, the hike to see the optical illusion lake above the ocean, then off to another gorgeous setting to enjoy a very delicious sandwich (excellent bakery bread!) and Faroese lemon soda, and finally a stop at the famous waterfall that you very often see when you look up the Faroes. We had booked a horseback riding excursion just after, and Johan very kindly took us directly there! We could not have had a better day. Also, if you are looking for a more personalized hike, this is the one for you. The group size was five total, so it was lovely as we weren’t being carted around on the big tour buses. Huge thanks for a wonderfully memorable day.

  48. Luisa Pearson

    We had a great day with Johan. He was very knowledgeable about his country and shared lots of amusing stories. He was an accommodating guide and offered to stop at spots for us as needed.

  49. Witold Nitsze

    Rewelacyjna wycieczka. Zobaczyliśmy najlepsze miejsca na Vagar. Piękne miejsca, super przewodnik. Czas za szybko minął. Serdecznie dziękuję i polecam. Rzadko się zdarza że zdjęcia oddają piękno miejsca. A tu tak jest 🙂

  50. Mandy Noonan

    Our guide was an absolute gem. He answered all of our many questions skillfully and with interesting anecdotes. He was very personable and engaging, and went out of his way to show us the best sights and photo opportunities. He picked us up and dropped us off right at our hotel, and provided us with recommendations for later in our trip. His tour was genuinely the highlight of our week in the Faroe Islands.

  51. Aleksa Jevtić

    This has to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen and done. It was all thanks to our tour guide Simon and Gunnar who was our driver for the day. Even thought the weather was not so great both Simon and Gunnar made sure that we would make the most out of our tour. Hike was well worth it since the views from the top were spectacular. Being surrounded by good people and enjoying their company as well as admiring beautiful scenery is something I will remember for the rest of my life. We made a deal that we would do the same tour but next time during the summer season. I can easily say money well spent. 5*

  52. Will

    Incredible tour! Jóhan is informative, friendly and entertaining, the tour felt very personal and the hike was a lot of fun! The views are absolutely breathtaking, and Jóhan was kind enough to take me to some locations not listed on the tour as I had already seen some of them. A must see!

  53. Autumn

    We went back and forth about just doing this hike ourselves or paying for a guide and tour. At the last minute we decide to book this tour and we are oh so happy we did. Andreas was amazing!! He knew everywhere to go and made the trip so much fun. We enjoyed all our tours in Faroe Islands, but this was the best!! We had already done some of the things on the trip and he was kind enough to add some completely off the tour route stuff for us instead. We cannot say enough good things about this tour!

  54. Ed

    This was the first hike I’ve done in a while but I shouldn’t have been worried. The route is fairly easy going with one final push to the clifftop, and manageable with waterproofs and hiking boots. My guide Simon was excellent company and the 5 hours flew by. Lunch on the silent beaches of Bøur was a real highlight.

  55. Catherine

    Johan was a friendly and incredible guide, taking care to point out interesting facts and the best places to take photos along the hike that I would have missed if I had gone myself. There were only two of us on the tour and I appreciate the smaller size as it was more personal. After the hike, Johan and his father took us to grab burgers (which were delicious!) and we walked around on the peaceful black sand beach of Bøur before finishing the tour at Múlafossur. Johan was also kind enough to help me reschedule my tours later in the week due to bad weather.

    This tour is an absolute must do in the Faroe Islands, thank you Johan for the unforgettable experience!

  56. Natalya

    Very interesting tour and outstanding tour guide Simon. Simon was very informative, shared a lot of interesting facts about Faroe, its history, traditions. Later we took other tours, but nobody can compete with Simon. He is the best.

  57. Steve Roxbury

    Great tour! Saw more than expected and had a great lunch!

  58. Chris Messruther

    A remarkable experiance that I highly reccomend to anyone visitng the Islands. The guides where very knowledgable, not just about the areas the tour visits, but (as naitives of the islands) about the Islands themselves. This made for a fun and informative trip that i greatly enjoyed.

  59. Rahul

    Excellent tour – fantastic scenery. Covered everything listed in tour description

  60. Keith Tam

    Johan is very good and friendly, we enjoy an excellent hiking, although it has some difficulty, to see the beautiful landscape is worthwhile. Moreover the lunch at the beach with good sights is a very good arrangement . And Johan give us very good information about Faore to us so that we really know more about Faore.

  61. Elizabeth A

    Favorite tour of my trip. My tour guide Andrias was wonderful. Despite the weather being rainy, I had a spectacular time, and the views were stunning. I ended up being the only person on the tour that day. Since I had already been to some of the sites on the tour, after the hike we explored another area instead. Overall, I learned a lot and had a lot of fun.

  62. Louis Minders

    Great trip with Johan. Would have loved to have had more days with him to really see the Faroes better. Guided without feeling too intrusive with time to walk and explore independently.

  63. Tricia Beisler

    Wonderful tour! Andrias was super personable and eager to share his love of this wonderful country. The hike was spectacular. Won’t disappoint!

  64. Nanette Hollis

    An incredible experience. The best excursion we did in a two week trip in Norway, Iceland and Scotland. The guide was so helpful and friendly. I booked the wrong day and the company changed my booking with less that 24 hours to trip.

    We really loved the walk to the end of the lake and were given lots of time to enjoy and explore the area.

    This is the one trip that you should not miss. You need to be fit enough to walk for 3 hours, but the walking is not difficult – mainly flat ground.

  65. Jay

    It was a great hike to the Lake above the Waterfall. Andreas was a great guide, and accommodated each traveler’s expectations. He took us to great photo scenes, and secret paths which we couldn’t find on their own. The views were extremely beautiful. Thanks again

  66. Scott

    Andreas was awesome. He happily went that extra mile to make my day. The reason I came to the Faroe Islands was because of Sorvagsvatn and he made it special.

  67. Mary Clements

    Today, 3/3/24, was a great adventure and experience with Hans. It was a very windy hike to the overlook where the lake cascades as a waterfall into the ocean. Hans safely guided another guest and myself so we could experience the view and not be blown off the cliff. His knowledge of the areas was presented in a delightful way as to encourage us to ask more questions. I was able to become totally immersed in how village life is lived on the Faroe Islands. Hans demonstrates pride in his country and extends the invitation to his clients to enjoy the beauty of the Faroe Islands and its residents. Thank you Hans for a very memorable tour.

  68. Hang CHUNG

    Having a great time on last Sunday, might come back next year in the summer ☺️

  69. Anna Rodés

    Johans excellent guide, very nice. I felt like driving around with a friend, talking about life style in those amazing islands. Many thanks for such a great promenade

  70. Alexander

    The tour was so incredible. The tour guide was amazing!

  71. Rolf Speckgens

    Thank you Johan and Julia for the nice trip and your kind company to Vidoy and Klaksvik last May. Hopefully we meet again someday.
    All the best!
    Rolf Speckgens, Netherlands

  72. Bethany Chu

    Johan was a great guide. Even though I was told the Northern Islands are not the most scenic ones in the Faroe Islands, Johan made sure I can leave satisfied by making extra stops. He was also very knowledgable and I enjoyed his company.

  73. Jana Schubiger

    Thanks for the nice tour to the Northern Islands and the hospitality of Jóhan and his wife.
    Manga takk☺️

  74. Khaled Al Huraimel

    I was picked up by Andreas and I was the only person on this tour. I have to say it was excellent all both the tour as well as the company.

  75. Monica Wildhaber

    This tour wasn’t even on our radar, however, due to our original tour guide getting ill the night before, the legendary organiser – shout out to Hogni – organised a last minute replacement to ensure we were still able to do something that day. We were honestly apprehensive at first but this tour was fantastic. Johan and his father in law were the best. They made our day really special, shared stories, laughed with us in the wind, answered all our questions and the sights were amazing. We spent many moments standing in the breeze soaking in the atmosphere. I’d recommend this tour to anyone and everyone. They made our first full day in Faroe Islands memorable and we are so appreciative of this tour operator for helping us out. I cannot express accurately in words how happy this tour made me and my family. Genuinely such lovely people.

  76. Mareska Rambing

    Had a blast, it was great tour with spectacular view, I was fortunate the weather was great hence I could not stop to have wow and jaw-dropping moment in every turn at our drive.
    My tour was with Simon and at that time it was only me hence more personalised; Simon was kind and nice, explained everything about Faroe Islands that you won’t find in wikipedia. If you want to have a great time in Faroe Islands, go with Simon.
    Thank you Simon for the great experience. All the best.

  77. Beth Shepherd

    What a lovely tour! Gunnar was such a wonderful guide. We saw a little of the northern islands which were stunning even amidst occasional rain. I am a bird lover and there were several “finds” that day including a (somewhat rare I’m told) falcon. We took a little extra time hoping to see the whale in the fjord and got lucky!

    I would recommend Gunnar for this tour or taxi transportation without hesitation. I feel fortunate I was able to spend my day seeing the northern islands. Thank you!

  78. David Wight

    The guide was amazingly knowledgable about the geography, history, culture, economy and history of the area and provided excellent commentary as well as answering all the questions that traveling through this area inspired me to ask. I very much enjoyed our time together. The North is an amazing place and I was surprised as to how different it felt compared to the South. I’m very glad I took this tour. My only regret is that I didn’t book a longer tour. Half a day just can’t do justice to this area.

  79. Andre Jacques

    Johan was a tremendous tour guide, very knowledgeable and showed us everything and very patient and helpful. Would highly recommend.

  80. Jay

    This is a great tour to see the hidden gems and the back door of the Faroe Islands, for those short on time.

  81. Sandra E Schild

    The driver was waiting for us at arrivals in the terminal even though the plane was delayed and it took a long time to get luggage. The trip from the airport to Torshavn was pleasant with various sights pointed out to us along the way.

  82. THOMAS MILLER

    I was picked up by Jóhan for hotel drop off from the airport
    He was not only a careful and good driver,he pointed out to me important history and beautiful views of Faroe!
    I was really lucky that he “guided” me to the hotel!

  83. Katarina Jeraeus

    After a short wait for the other customers, we got driving to Tórshavn, through the stunning Faroese landscape. Our driver was not only taking us to our destination but acted as a guide telling us about life and society on the island, and even offered to take an extra tour through town to show us around a bit. Very nice welcoming to the islands!

  84. Adam Meszaros

    Excellent service, punctual and warm welcoming taxi driver. Highly recommended!

  85. DUSAN KRICKA

    Great and professional!
    All recommendations!

  86. Alison Barr

    Simple to make a booking online. Our driver was at the airport as requested. The car was very clean and it was a smooth and safe ride to our hotel! Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

  87. Jovie Ng

    Very easy to make a booking online! The car was clean and very smooth to our hotel! Highly recommended!!

  88. Kristine Kimoe

    I had a fantastic trip in the taxi.

  89. GRACE LEE

    Kindest guide and driver ever. I will be using this service again when I visit next summer.

  90. Yukiko Ezaka

    Great service. The taxi driver was waiting for us at the airport and warm welcoming. When we go back to the airport that was early in the morning. But the taxi driver came on time . Highly recommended!

  91. Gina Parisi

    Our guide was wonderful. She picked us up from the airport and was so accommodating. I appreciate her honest insights. Being a native, she had a lot to tell. I left the tour filled with so much appreciation for the people of these Islands. This was more than a “tour” and hike, she really taught us something, and we carried that with us the whole trip. We highly recommend this tour.

  92. Peter morrison

    We were disappointed, we had to sit and wait in the car park until all the other passengers arrived and our driver didn’t speak English so there was no information passed on at all. You may as well grab a cab at the curb outside arrivals.

  93. MATHILDE CUCCHI

    Reliable and reasonably priced option to reach Torshavn from the airport. Would definitely recommend if you don’t feel like waiting for public transportation!

  94. Claus Alstrup Borre

    Johan picked us up at Vagar and he was really professional, a very good driver – and guide. Communication (in Danish) was perfect for us and we enjoyed the tour! Thanks a lot, Johan!

  95. Marianne Sjöström

    The taxi driver who took us from the airport to the city was the best possible. A real business card for the Faroe Islands. His name is Gunnar Gunnarson I believe. Hospitality and kindness are keywords to summarise the service of his which gave us a very good first impression of the Faroe Islands.

  96. Michael Willemse

    Driver was there when we arrived, told us info about the islands and even made a picture stop or two.

  97. Evan Connell

    Our driver was incredibly kind and an awesome driver!

  98. Autumn DiScala

    A great guide!

  99. Jens Henriksen

    Det var superfint.
    Chaufføren stod klar som aftalt, og så gik det mod Torshavn.
    Bl.a. op over fjeldet, så vi rigtig kunne se jeres imponerende land.
    Vi var meget tilfredse🙂

  100. Karina Juhl Kande

    Det fungerede upåklageligt begge veje – især i betragtning af, at vores fly var flere timer forsinket ved ankoms. Mange tak!

  101. Rakul Rasmussen

    Meget god oplevelse, taxa chauffør stod klar med navneskilt udenfor, god service.

  102. Arnakkuluk Kleist

    Vi havde en god tur med en flink chauffør

  103. Harry Tziouvas

    Everything went smoothly at the airport and during the drive. The driver was at the airport and greeted me. Most importantly the driver was very nice, and we had a great chat during the trip.

  104. Caroline

    Parfait, le chauffeur attendait juste à la sortie des bagages avec un panneau à mon nom. Il m’a raconté des anecdotes le long de la route et il était très gentil ! Je recommande

  105. Barbora Geist

    Everything all right, the driver was very helpfull and nice.

  106. June Hum

    Excellent service and nice driver! Our baggages were missing and we spent times to report. He waited for us patiently and no extra charge for this.
