About this tour
This tour takes you to three stops around Ålesund: the Godøya viewpoint, the Alnes lighthouse and the Aksla viewpoint.
From Godøya, the Island of the Gods, you have a panoramic view of Ålesund and the archipelago around it. Through the underwater tunnel you reach Alnes, a fishing community with a view of the Atlantic Ocean, and visit the local lighthouse.
The last stop is the Aksla viewpoint, with a view over the town and the archipelago. If you want to walk down to the city centre by the 418 steps, the tour ends for you here; the other passengers are taken back to the starting point.

very nice but at the same time a price that has no reason to exist for the price offered.

The guide was very friendly and responded to our wishes. In addition to the audio guide, he gave us a lot of additional information and tips, e.g. B. Added to local specialties. It was a great tour that we are happy to recommend.

The tour was amazing. The guide (I'm not sure how to spell his name--it sounded like Eidar) was so kind and informative. He pointed out a lovely path near the lighthouse that was brief but spectacular. And just in general he was a great help. The spots we went to were lovely, and I never could have done those things without a car. It was a perfect way to see the area. Highly recommend.

Since I was the only guest, I got preferential treatment. Marcelli brought me closer to the tour with his own eyes, gave me a lot of information and made my day an experience. Thanks very much!
