5.00We loved this tour. Our tour guide and driver were both kind and knowledgeable. The open air museum was amazing. A bit of steep walk for a part of it but if you can manage that it is amazing. The real highlight however is the lighthouse. The whole area looks like a postcard.
Great activity during short cruise stop

4.00Saw some interesting sights in and around Alesund. We weren't warned about sites that challenged people with mobility issues, and there were several in our group. There were steep inclines at the museum and of course stairs at the lighthouse. Guide was pleasant.

3.00Not much interaction with the guide. Museum/ village was great and most of the tour time was there. However you were left to your own devices so may has well have just gone there on your own. Lighthouse was good but again, no interaction with guide. Stairway in lighthouse was dangerous as many people banged their heads ( be aware). Not much time spent in Alesund centre itself and could not hear anything guide said due to volume of people. It was really a mode of transport rather than a tour
