The beauty of the Faroe Islands speaks for itself, and we were very fortunate with the weather, but as far as the service provided by this company goes, we had no complaints and would recommend them.

  All the reviews are correct. Excellent personal service. The owner, Samal is incredibly knowledgeable (he's training up his grandson to do the job now too) and tells us about every... read more building we pass on the winding roads, old peoples’ homes, kindergartens, shops and fish factories....More

  I took several day tours with this company on my recent stay in the Faroe Islands and I would recommend them. I visited the Vestmanna Bird cliffs and Sandoy and... read more found these to be great itineraries and the tour guide Carl was particularly great. I also took a tour to the Northern Islands which was a bit less interesting - I would have preferred to skip the church and wool shop and go for a walk somewhere instead. I used this company also for my tour to Mykines which was really good - the guide on the island was a local farmer.

Our only disappointment was our visit to Mykines which was enveloped in fog for the whole day taking away our views. We can’t control the weather and we still loved the uniqueness of the Faroes. We would love to spend more time in the Faroes and wouldn’t hesitate to use Tora Tourist again to see the bits we missed.

So i came to the conclusion that their trips are a good option for elderly people who wanna book a smooth tour without moving much.

I just got a little idea about the northern islands cause we ve spend too much time on low interesting stops. The description sounded way better than the real result :( Unfortunately i ve booked another tour with them for tomorrow and it was too late to cancel it.

If u dont wanna move yourself much and just wanna get drive around the islands this could be the right one for u. Also the communication with them was very nice and helpful. The guides are friendly and okay. The lunch was also okay. But at the end i am missing a real highlight here. Sorry :( More
