Starting from Ålesund, the bus will guide you through the quaint Norwegian villages en route to the Land of Trolls. Our first halt is at Kokarsteinen, situated right above a picturesque fiord. From there, we will cut through the Sjoholt village, notable for its wood industry and furniture, and Valldal, renowned for its delicious strawberries.

Subsequently, our warm and cosy bus will transport you to Trollstigen, providing a majestic view of the natural terrain and a remarkable mountain road featuring eleven sharp bends.

Mixed review - Interesting tour offset by a bus breakdown. Tour was delayed over 2 hours midway through the tour. Arrived back at our cruise ship just in time for sailing.

Disappointing - The tours itinerary was okay, but the buses cooling system broke down at Gudbrand Juvet gorge and caused a 2 hour delay before the mechanic could fix it. That caused Trollstigen Plateau and the Troll Wall to be shortened significantly. Also the bus had to stop 2 more times to fill water causing us to reach the pier 10 minutes after final boarding at 5:00 pm. The overall experience was STRESSFUL, FRUSTRATING and DISAPPOINTING.
