This was a very informative tour and provided some amazing photo ops. The views from the Alnes Lighthouse were amazing. Sunnmore Museum provided the opportunity to see how homes were built in centuries past as well different boats.
Nice lighthouse

The most memorable part of the Alesund excursion was the bit at the end with Alness Lighthouse. 185 steps to the top but the view was worth it!
A lot of sites packed into this tour

This tour gave us a great combination of sites and experiences, and Sandra was a wonderful guide. We started out going up a hill to an overlook of Alesund (not the one that has the observatory). Then we had over an hour at an outdoor museum of old dwellings. We drove to a couple of neighboring islands via bridges and underground tunnels. We were able to visit a lighthouse and climb to the top (very steep steps) for beautiful views, and spend a minute at the beach nearby made up of unique granite boulders. We stopped at a very old Viking era church, and returned to Alesund and got a drive through town with commentary from our guide. We saw so many things, and still had time to do some sightseeing and shopping around town on our own afterward. I will caution that there is a lot of walking involved on this tour, in order to see the promised sites, and much of it is uphill, or up stairs. There were some in the group that were frustrated that the tour description wasn't clear about that.
Great guide with a lot of information about the area.

Our tour guide, Sandra, was knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the tour overall but it was a little too long. And as it was towards the end of the season, some cafes and stores were already closed for the season.
Wee bit windy at the top!

It was great to explore so many areas near Alesund. Our favorite part was going up to the top of the lighthouse. Sandra was our tour guide here and in Geiranger and she did an excellent job keeping us informed about all the beautiful sights!
