Tell Me North audioguide - 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.
