Wonderful way to see the city - This was a wonderful bus tour! Our tour guide Giuseppe was amazing. This was an easy, low impact way to see a lot of Ålesund. The island of Giske and its connection to Rollo was very interesting. A trip highlight was the lighthouse on Gödoy. Great views and a cute little lighthouse. I would recommend this bus tour to anyone visiting Ålesund!

Extreme letdown. - Terrible tour - not informative at all. Commentary was cringeworthy. The only reference to vikings was basically the text found in the description of the tour. My son had to sit at the back of the bus where all the view was blocked. Complete waste of money.
