4.00Very narrow and steep stairs in lighthouse. The guide was friendly, but we could not always hear him. Would be nice to have some shopping time included.
Worthwhile Tour of Alesund

5.00This is one of the best tours of Alesund you will find. Most tours do a similar route but visit Mount Aksla instead of the lighthouse. Mount Aksla is nice, but it can be easily summited by a quick hike from the center of town (even for someone who is out of shape). On the other hand, the lighthouse is remote, hard to access, and well worth a visit. I would highly recommend this tour.
Excellent experience!

5.00We went in mid-August, it was a very well taken advantage of excursion, as in a few hours we could see all Alesund. We couldn’t get to the viewpoint, but it wasn’t the first time we went to the city and the route to it to climb on foot is very beautiful and full of flowers. So it is certainly a pleasant walk that can be done on its own. Our guide, Laura, spoke to us in great detail about the lighthouse and the city of Alesund. Undoubtedly, a very good experience to make does leave with time and you want to see everything Alesund complete!
Overall, a very positive...

5.00Overall, a very positive experience. Our guide (forgot to write down his name, he was Italian but had been living in Norway for the last 10 years) was very knowledgeable and provided just the right amount of information without being overbearing. Everything went as expected.
