Didn't do it. Got the app information after we were done. Meeting point was too far from the port. Most shops were closed.
App was easy to use

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.
Amazing introduction

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.
