    The Faroe Islands are beautiful. We loved our time there and were able to cover a lot of ground with this tour. We enjoyed it very much. The sandwich at lunch was good. Our guide was soft spoken, but she took us to many places. I would definitely do this tour again and recommend it to others.

    Such a fun filled day seeing some very cool spots on the Islands. Tuned out we got our own personal tour with Hereor Joensen. Great way to see a lot in just a few hours. We booked this when our Oceania cruise had no excursions available.

    Even though it was a very windy, rainy day, this was a great tour! Tomas gave a lot of info about the Faroes since he's lived there all his life. Highly recommend - especially if you don't have much time.
