We booked a private tour (Faroe Islands Highlights) for our short stop with our cruise ship. The stop was only for about 8 hours but Andrias from this company organized this day for us in a very smooth and efficient manner.The tour guide, Hans Christian, took us to many areas and view points and went out of his way to show us as much as possible of the Islands. We skipped lunch and stopped for coffee and waffles at a local house which was an amazing experience.We really very highly recommend this company to whoever will visit Faroe Islands and you will not be disappointed. We feel lucky that we came across this company when we were researching for this day in Faroe Islands.

We saw numerous countries with various excursions on a cruise. This was by far the BEST excursion that we did. Elsa, our guide was just amazing and the island was just magical.

Great trip. Our guide was Andreas, very friendly. Great selection by him for open water swimming and went around the underground roundabout 4 times, Beauty of a bespoke trip.

Great tour with an excellent guide, places you should't miss including the very end of the world (Mula) :)

Well organised. Helpful and knowledgeable guide Victor. Saw lots of puffins. Recommended.

If you are lucky enough to visit the Faroe Islands, let Heimdal tours introduce you to the island. They are knowledgeable, organized, and very friendly. We spent four days on the island, and they introduced us to so many beautiful areas. Tummas and Anita are wonderful ambassadors of the island- 10/10 would use them again!!

Our Faroe Islands trip was truly unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to our wonderful guides — Helle, Borgfrið and Andras.They were friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing their beautiful country. Their stories about Faroese history, culture, and local life made every stop even more meaningful.As a senior traveler, I really appreciated their kindness and patience. They always made me feel comfortable and never rushed me during the walks. I felt well looked after throughout the trip.The Faroe Islands are breathtaking, but having guides like Helle, Borgfrið and Andras made the experience even more special. Highly recommended.

Our Sudaroy trip was quite memorable with our guide Anita. Heimdal Tours is definitely one of the most reliable and well organized companies with whom we have ever traveled. We were so impressed with everything about this small, family oriented company. We were shown so many of the Faroe Islands breathtaking sites. We look forward so very much to traveling with Heimdal Tours again for our day tours.

Wonderful tour. The boat trip was the highlight--but bring hat and mitts, even in summer! It would have been great to line up for the boat a little earlier to get an outdoor seat on the boat, but otherwise it was great. Pickup at hotel was easy and convenient. We had the weather on our side, which was lovely. Disappointed we didn't see any puffins, but that can't exactly be guaranteed!

Wonderful day in a cozy little group. We visited incredibly beautiful places and our guide told us a lot about the history of the Faroe Islands. We also saw puffins.

Our Mykines Private Hike and Tour Adventure booked with Experience Faroe Islands was fantastic. A great tour starts with a great guide and our guide, Hans was wonderful. Patient & kind, Hans was also very knowledgeable and eager to share all things Faroe Islands. As a native Faroese, Hans embodied the spirit of the islands. Pickup from Hotel Hafnia was prompt at 12:15 (the morning ferry was fully booked). We were able to book the 1:30 ferry. The drive to the Vágar Island ferry terminal provided views of the stunning Faroe countryside. We passed by deep fiords and high cliffs with waterfalls cascading down to form streams which lead to the fiords. Ferry ride to Mykines was 45 minutes and pretty smooth. I’m prone to seasickness but did not suffer on either trip. Along the way we saw towering sea stacks, dramatic rock formations & more waterfalls. From the Mykines ferry terminal we climbed stairs and walked through the old village. There is a free public toilet in the village center. We began the ascent to the puffin colony following the milder incline along a ridge. On the way we saw more spectacular views of Mykines and the surrounding coast. The hills have many grazing Faroese sheep which climb to great heights. Shepherds have dangerous work gathering them. When we reached the puffin colony it was well worth the hike. Hundreds of nesting puffins, many were only a few feet away. We were advised to stay 6 ft away from the puffins and not to enter their burrow nest areas. It was a great experience standing in such close proximity to the little guys. My wife took many photos and she was extremely happy. We walked a short distance further to a memorial plaque. From there we had the option to hike further up to the viewpoint and chance to see even more puffins. My son with autism had anxieties about further climbing so we chose to walk down the return route to the village. This route was more steep than the ascent but we managed. We enjoyed Katrin’s fish soup in the cafe and returned to the ferry terminal. The 6:15 ferry (last of the day) returned us to Vagar just after 7 and Hans returned us to the Hafnia around 8 pm. This tour gave our family a lifetime of great memories. I highly recommend it.Footnote: Hans returned to our hotel to to give our son a Faroese mountain rock from his personal collection. What a kind gesture. Thank you, Hans
