Discover the best sights, history and culture of Ålesund and the surrounding islands.
You will be able to see a 12th century marble church located on the island of Giske. Then through the underwater tunnel you will get to the Alnes – a charming fishing community, from where you can admire a unique view of the Atlantic Ocean. An interesting point of our trip will be a visit to the local lighthouse. The next and the last point of the trip will be a stop at the view point Aksla – the best place to enjoy a magnificent panorama view over the city and the archipelago.
For those who wish to walk down to the city center by the 418 stairs and take unforgettable photos, the tour will end here. The rest of the passengers will be taken to the starting point of our trip.

Location of bus was hard to find. Bus/mini van was not marked with letter to identify and had another travel agent from another company used her phone to contact and find out bus/mini van. Head phones were not working properly and kept repetting in English the introduction. Would not use them again. Sorry!!

Although the translator machine would not work it still was a good excursion. Our bus driver was excellent and I felt bad that the machine would not work for him. He took us to Giske, Alnes and Mt Aksla and that is exactly what I wanted to do. I was happy.

The tour was very good at letting you know where to meet. It was a headset that you wore to hear the highlights. It made a couple stops where you could get out and look around. We had a rainy day so it was nice to be on the bus.

Very disappointing, the lack of interaction and knowledge by the driver who just picked you up and dropped you off at the locations and told us to listen to the headphones, which is you wear hearing aids like me was not useful at all!! The lack of interaction was disappointing especially when exploring such a beautiful destination. It's essential for tour operators to provide informative and engaging experiences to enhance the trip, and it seems like this excursion fell short in that aspect.

Terrible expérience, the bus never showed up to pick us at the pier between the bus terminal and the pier as per instructed upon receptof tickets.
We phoned the tour operator but no answer, we phoned Viator and talked with one of theor agent who then tried to phone the tour operator without any luck either.
All 8 cruise passengers were left stranded at the pier for 90 minutes!
Do not book this tour, I am requesting a refund!

The tour was very enjoyable. The tour guide was very informative and pointed out many scenic areas along the way. All the stops provided beautiful scenery and views with good descriptions from our guide

The driver was late leaving, because waiting on a late ship. Therefore, he drove a little fast trying to make up time. The automatic recording in the bus did not explain where sites were (ie on the left or right). The bus was cramped.

The views were spectacular! The trip was a bit too rushed. Wish we had a few more minutes at each stop, especially at the ancient church (first stop). It would've been nice to be able to walk around the church and the very quaint streets around it!

Unfortunatly this wasnt so great, no live guide, only a driver and a digital guide. the digital guide was not synched with the views. Nice views , I would skio the church and go directly to the lighthouse. will not recomend this tour.

The driver/guide was not very knowledgeable and did little to make the experience more enjoyable. Really, the whole itinerary seemed very “underwhelming.”
