A tour to do - The tour guy was very friendly and knowledgeable. The lighthouse is a good climb, but worth of view. The scenery is unbelievable. would recommend this tour if you have a short time there.

Trip to the islands and museum - My Mum and I really enjoyed our tour! The visit to the lighthouse and islands was wonderful ( and going through the tunnels on the journey!), and we really enjoyed the museum. Our guide Sonya and as really friendly and knowledgeable, would definitely recommend!

Awesome sightseeing tour of Alesund - This was our first time in Norway and I would highly recommend the tour of Ålesund. Our guide Sandra was friendly and informative. We visited the sunnmore museum, lighthouse, toured downtown Ålesund among other photo opportunities. You will not be disappointed

Great excursion! - Danny was a great tour guide. This was a nice shire excursion, that mostly was as advertised. I wish there was more info regarding the amount of climbing and walking uphill that was required. This is not an easy city tour type excursion, so not for seniors. But I enjoyed it and recommend it.

Great guide! - Dani, our guide was brilliant. He tracked us down when we waited in the wrong place at the port, and kept the whole bus engaged throughout the tour. The weather was pretty bad that day so it wasn’t the best for seeing the views, but we learned a lot, saw some interesting places and had a couple of nice cafe stops! The Sunnmøre museum was really interesting and my husband particularly enjoyed the lighthouse.

Poor tour - Our your operator was bad. She would walk off and leave the slower customers. No explanations. Waste of my money. I think the destination was much more interesting than her tour. A waste of my money!!!

Disappointing tour - Not that great of a tour. Locations weren’t anything special. Tour guide was new to the country and didn’t know much about the stops. He didn’t tell any interesting stories to keep us engaged. Wouldn’t recommend for others.
