Food Tours - Great for 1st evening in the City - Food tours are a great way to explore the city, learning some history, hitting the neighborhood highlights via walking and getting a sense of the cuisine. This food tour was no exception. I really enjoyed the preview of Norwegian food and then the next day, we explored on our own.

Excellent food tour of downtown Ålessund - We had an excellent experience from before the tour began. My partner is lactose intolerant and when we responded to an email asking if their were any dietary restrictions (and no guarantee they could be accommodated), the tour organizer (Rigmor Eik) did everything they could to work with the five stops. And they did! At four of the stops they found close alternatives or omitted certain items. The young man who ran the tour, Piotr, was excellent. While the venues ranged from a small take out place to a fancy hotel the food was all excellent. Piotr was clear in his speech, very knowledgable about the food and about the history of Ålesund, and with an excellent demeanor. We had a terrific time and recommend it completely.

Best Food Tour in Ålesund! - The food walking tour was a wonderful way to experience some of the unique flavors of Norway and history of Ålesund. Monica was so friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Since she is a local, she had some personal experiences that she shared which were fascinating. She knew the history of the families and the buildings where we stopped for tasting. All the food was delicious and it was a very easy walk. We definitely recommend this tour.
