Fancy a tour in a small group away from mass tourism? Experience Ålesund with a passionate local guide, full of insider tips and unforgettable moments.

Our tour begins at the Fisher Boy sculpture, a symbol of Ålesund’s maritime heritage, where you’ll learn how the clipfish rade shaped the city’s rise.

As we stroll along the waterfront, we’ll explore Norway’s engineering marvels : underwater tunnels, graceful bridges, and even the world’s first full-scale ship tunnel. We’ll also highlight the oil and gas industry, including how Norway wisely invested its wealth to secure lasting prosperity.

Then we turn onto King’s Street, home to the city’s highest concentration of Art Nouveau architecture, reflecting international influences brought in after the 1904 fire, still visible in its ornate facades today.

The tour concludes with a breathtaking harbor view, complemented by insider tips for restaurants, authentic souvenir shops, and a free brochure to help you make the most of your stay.

    We loved our tour. My family including my sons ages 15,13 and 11 really enjoyed our walking tour. We loved everything from the architecture, history of the city, information on Norwegian taxes and energy as well as the local connection for best pizza and cinnamon rolls. We felt like we could ask Lucas anything. Highly recommend.
