Travel agency

👍👍 We toured the Faroes with Guide to Faroe Islands Tour company on a cruise ship stop in August 2022. The entire process of reserving the tour was very easy to schedule and confirm. Our ship happened to stop at an alternative port to Tórshavn so the guide had to travel to find us that morning, yet sti...

The ingredients are pretty fresh and good. It had quite long waiting time in between dishes, and unfortunately, some of them d...
