Per Hansen was born and raised in the capital of the Faroe Islands, Tórshavn. For 20 years, he worked at the National Faroese Tourist Board as head of destination development, and in 2012 he decided to work as a guide, welcoming travelers to his home country. Per has traveled to almost every corner in the island group and loves to hike. He is passionate sharing the history, culture, geology as well as daily life of the Faroese, and has an answer to almost everything you might want to know about these fascinating islands.
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.
