5.00There is lots of walking on uneven pavement. Cold rain is possible. Do not google the given address. You will be lost. Head instead to the city center near the fountain. Your guide has a passion for the city and has lots of historical knowledge. The tour is enjoyable.

5.00Lukas was a great guide for a small group on a wet Alesund morning and provided some great info on the town, Norway, and took us to some great spots. His guidebook he shared with us at the end of the tour was also full of useful recommendations for other things to do and places to eat.
A good start to a visit to Alesund.

5.00Alesund is a delightful city and we felt very lucky to be on Lukas's city tour. He was very knowledgeable about the city and Norway in general and provided a lot of background information. He also took us to places that had excellent opportunites for good photos and provided lots of tips of things to do when the tour was over. We were very happy to have taken Lukas's tour and learned much more than we would have been able to learn on our own.

5.00I would absolutely recommend taking this tour with Lukas! Unfortunately, our flight was delayed in London and we weren’t able to take the tour, however, Lukas was so accommodating and provided an excellent list of recommendations for our visit to Alesund! He followed up with us to make sure we enjoyed our time there :)
