Streymoy Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Birgit was an excellent guide to the city and the history of Tórshavn; she even sang a Faroese song for us in the church. I would highly recommend this guided walk at the start of a stay in the Faroe Islands.

Excellent tour and introduction to the Faroe Islands. Sigrid was an excellent tour guide taking us to all of the important sites in Torshavn while giving us and understanding of the history, culture, politics, food and people of the Faroe Islands. We highly recommend this tour and especially Sigrid.

Exciting ghost tour in the capital of the Faroe Islands, and by far the cheapest attraction I have come across so far in the entire country. Since the price was so low, I didn’t expect much more than a bare minimum experience. But, much to my surprise, it was an excellent tour with scary ghost stories and interesting local folklore told at the many interesting places that the tour leads through. On many occasions, the stories took place at the exact locations I visited, which was great.A charming tour, and the provider should charge a higher fee for this experience as it is definitely undervalued.

Nice walk around the city, with some funny and scary stories. Although it crossed the same streets in the same areas several times, this tour showed many of Tórshavns more hidden sides that were definitely worth seeing. Could be good with the opportunity to try the game in Danish instead of being only in English.

Big enough, heavy and stable for the Atlantic ocean fishing boat, with very knowledgeable and professional captain! We enjoyed very much the tour and we caught lots of various types of fish. Flosi is a very nice person. He provided us with warm fishing gear and clothing, without which we would have frozen under the Atlantic Ocean waves and winds. We highly recommend this tour!

We had an amazing time! Flosi was a a great tour guide and showed us how beautiful the faroes are from the sea. We also caught fish that we ate for dinner. I would really recommend the tour.

We had an exceptional experience on this Tórshavn city walking tour and would highly recommend it.Our guide was absolutely lovely – warm, engaging and clearly very knowledgeable about local history, culture and everyday life in the Faroe Islands. The tour was well paced, with plenty of time for questions and photos, and we left feeling we had a much deeper understanding of Tórshavn rather than just “seeing the sights.”

Delightful and very insightful tour. It’s always nice to have a tour guide that is immersed in the local culture and knows so many people. I would highly recommend.

The game leads you through all the must see places in Tórshavn, where you can hear local ghost stories, that are tied to the different places or learn about the Faroese folk-belief in the supernatural.The trip is in the centre of Tórshavn, which is very small. Therefore, its a bit back and forth in the same area, although they might not be in the exact same places.My favourite stories are all in the Tinganes-district, where the story about the hand on the grave stands out.A nice way to see Tórshavn :)

We went out and had the best day on the whole trip, i could not recommend it more. We saw puffins, it was super sunny, we saw the amazing cliffs on Nólsoy and cought three big cods that we got to take home and eat. If there is one thing you should prioritize and spend money on this it it!!!

This ghost-themed outdoor escape game guides the players through different scenic and exciting places in Thorshavn. It takes you to must-see places like Tinganes and the Fortress, but also guides you to the old wooden ships and to an old churchyard overgrown by trees. These scenes go very well with the ghost theme.This is an adventurer's game, though, and playing a game with riddles and clues isn't for everyone. But, if you don't like playing the game, you can always skip the challenges and be entertained by the ghost stories and the game's storyline. I do, however, feel that the game's author has found a great balance which is appealing to a broad audience (and therefore hard-core gamers might be disappointed).I would like to give this game five stars, and I recommend people try playing it, preferably before they have gone on a sight-seeing trip to Thorshavn. Playing at night is preferred for those who dare.

Excelent experience Very good boat and perfect fishing gear Very competent Boat skipper Flosi thank you once again

We really enjoyed our tour with Marita! She was very knowledgeable, welcomed questions of all sorts and has some great recommendations. We enjoyed getting a history of Tórshavn and the broader Faroe Islands. We would recommend a tour with Marita!

First time we try the app and the concept. We came to places we probably wouldn't have done otherwise. We found it difficult to understand what to do and also to realize that the stated destination was not where the answer was.

We didn't realise it was a public holiday on the day of our tour. There was no public transport to take us to the meeting point. We arrived late and furthermore, the weather was unfavourable. But we ended up in an amazing cafe with Birita, our guide, and spent the rest of the tour chinwagging over a good breakfast and had our own unique 'tour' instead. :)

Nights in Tórshavn are quiet, and I went on this quest alone during the night. The Christmas lighting was pleasant, especially in Thinganes, but there was at least one place that I found seriously creepy. I would still recommend playing in the night, though.I loved the main story and the local ghost stories (legends?).The quest was all situated around the town's centre, which was very convenient.
