Top Faroe Islands Walking Tours

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.

Fantastic! Super good reader, good insight into the story that is both scary and fascinating. Can be highly recommended.

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.

Pleased with how well the app worked, the historical information was very interesting. It's not too demanding a tour, Klaksvik is fairly flat.

Klaksvík is now one of my favorite towns in the Faroe Islands. The natural setting is beautiful and if you are able to be there at golden hour the light is amazing. The tour gave interesting information I would not have otherwise known.

I have walked the trips, TELL ME NORTH offers, and I must admit that they are very interesting, informative and inspiring. The story about Rebellion in Klasvík, which is based on real events from the 1950s, is amazing and a very good analysis of how far matters can go – also in a democratic society - if authorities and subjects aren’t able to solve urgent troubles fairly soon. This is a very good trip for the exploring types of tourists who want to get a deeper understanding of their chosen place of destination.I can warmly recommend this trip. It is also worth mentioning that if you want to prepare your visit before arrival, it is quite useful listening to the material which gives you a good general survey of this Faroese town.

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 :)

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.

I have also walked the trip Understanding Klaksvík, which gives a short, but fairly deep introduction about the culture and daily life of Klaksvík today. They are definitely worth spending time on. I can warmly recommend this trip. It is also worth mentioning that if you want to prepare your visit before arrival, it is quite useful listening to the material which gives you a good general survey of this Faroese town.

You pick up the code for the audio recording at the cafe. Wait staff there were unsure of what to do but manager knew so be persistent. Cafe is next to the information centre. The audio was interesting. A bit hard to follow walking route but improved once more familiar with map.

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.
