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.
Excellent tour of Alesund

5.00This is a morning bus tour with thrre main stops. Pickup was at the pier where our shop was docked. Danny was an excellent guide. We got to see part of the old city as well as the islands.
Drop-off tour without much depth

2.00The "ultimate turen" was well-organised and clearly designed to accommodate a broad audience, but the experience felt largely like a standard "drop-off" tour without much depth. The guide was fluent in both English and German and delivered the information with enthusiasm, but the content came across as rather superficial and tailored to very general crowd. For us personally, the tour did not quite live up to expectations, and we didn't feel it was with the price.
The tour signed great but we were in Norway with no local to give the tour but instead the guide spoke Spanish

1.00The tour was a Spanish speaking tour as well as English. We had no idea and the guide spent more time talking in Spanish and said everything twice. We left at the first stop and just chose to walk around ourselves and not take this tour. We wasted over 600.00 and should have chosen to do something else. Unless you need a Spanish speaking guide don’t choose this for your day in Norway.
