Per was an excellent guide, and his enthusiasm for sharing the culture and nature of his country was readily apparent. He knew the hikes well, and I always felt I was in competent hands with him.
Per openly shared his passion, knowledge of the Faroe Islands with us. Because of strong winds and rains, we couldn't hike on two different days, but with his contacts and knowledge, Per was able to provide other interesting options for us. I very much enjoyed his sense of humor!
Through sharing his country with us, Per made this very special trip even more so. He was exceedingly knowledgeable about a full range of topics, and was generous with his time and attention.
Per was an excellent leader, obviously well acquainted with the Faroes, who not only was an excellent guide but provided valuable and highly interesting information on Faroe history and traditions.
