1- Departure: Ålesund Pier
The Art nouveau town of Ålesund is a perfect starting point for excursions in the beautiful surroundings. It is the largest city in the province of Møre og Romsdal and it has a unique setting across several islands streching out into the Atlantic Ocean. Destroyed in 1904 by a devastating fire it is now noted for its concentration of Art Nouveau style.
2- Giske Church
The famous Giske Church is Sunnmøre’s oldest church and one of Norway’s cultural heritage treasures. In fact the church was originally built as a private chapel for the powerful Giske Family in the 1100s.
3- Alnes Lighthouse
Alnes Lighthouse is one of the best highlights the Ålesund area can offer. The view is majestic, and the beaches and waves have turned the destination into a surfer’s paradise. Entrance fee to the lighthouse is included in the tour ticket.
4- Aksla Viewpoint
From the top of the city mountain Aksla there is a panoramic view of the beautiful city center, the archipelago and the Sunmøre Alps. From Aksla you can walk 418 steps down to the city park.
5- Arrival: Ålesund Pier
* The order of sights might vary. If the winter road to Aksla is not safe, an alternative point of interest will be chosen instead.

The trip was really great and was completed within time. The time permitted for each location was alright, I somehow felt that the duration of Alnes should be a bit more as 30 mins seemed less and the place and the surrounding was beautiful. Otherwise rest all was great including the tour guide.

Schöne Stellen, vor allem der Leuchtturm mit Umgebung und das kleine Kaffee. Wären da gerne noch etwas länger geblieben. Es wäre auch Zeit gewesen, weil wir viel zu früh zurück waren. Sonst netter Fahrer und schöner Ausflug.

Our "guide" was just a driver. He spoke very little to us. We had to ask many questions and he barely knew anything. At drop-offs at the sites, he didn't help us get into the lighthouse, didn't point us to the right location of the church, or give us enough time at the lookout. He dropped us off at the port early as well.

Die Abholung und Fahrt im klimatisierten Kleinbus waren sehr gut. Der Fahrer war freundlich und der Audioguide funktionierte einwandfrei. Die Besichtigung der Kirche von Giske war nur von außen möglich (weißes Steinhaus) und ohne Guide. Der Leuchtturm von Alnes konnte bestiegen werden jedoch auch ohne weitere Infos. Highlight war die Fahrt nach und Aussicht von Aksla.

We had a great experience with the tour. The weather was bad and we were the only 2 on the tour, the driver still took us on the tour. The driver was very nice and the route was good. I like the audio and can follow it easily. I recommend this tour to anyone.
