Yes, it's definitely worth booking a guided tour in or around Alesund. While you can explore Norway independently, having a tour guide who understands Norwegian can provide a better understanding of its culture. Similarly, making your way around the winding mountain roads of Norway with a driver is a lot easier, and more enjoyable view-wise. Plus, some sights are only accessible by boat.
Per one customer who booked the Trollstigen, The Land of The Trolls tour, "Great tour with breathtaking views at each stop. Comfortable transport in a mini van. The guide (Trond) is a local from Ålesund and a very nice guy. He had a lot of stories and explanations during the tour. And as the cafetaria were closed for the season he arranged a picnic with local Norwegian food and candy. We loved the hot berry beverage! Trollstigen itself is fantastic. And: do not forget to take the Norwegian Soft Ice, it's amazing! Highly recommended! And as Trond said to us: The best pictures are the memories in your head, and this tour gave us a lot of them. Thanks Trond and: we'll be back!"
The cost of tours around Alesund depends on tour duration and what's included. A multi-day excursion or an exploration of Alesund from a helicopter can easily set you back thousands while walking tours that last two hours start around US$40 per person.
For example, the Ålesund Two Hour Walking City Tour costs around US$50 and includes a guided 2-hour group tour of the city with multiple stops and information. However, the Private Shore Excursions Troll Road in 5-7 Groups tour costs up to US$2,320 per group of up to seven travelers. It includes a full day's worth of activities and travelling, including visiting Trollstigen, Valldal, and Mt. Aksla.
Most travelers are attracted to this part of Norway for its picturesque setting, so most of the activities included on Alesund tours focus on visiting the nearby natural sites like the fjords, lakes, and mountains. Longer trips from Alesund take you to Trollstigen or Gelranger, as well as other small villages dotted along the Norwegian coast.
Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the 6 Day Fjord Kayaking Trip Norway offers visitors (with decent upper body strength) an unforgettable and unparalleled experience of the fjords of Norway. In addition to sea kayaking, you'll camp and go for short hikes on land.
While it all depends on what you want to include in your itinerary, 2–3 days should be enough time to visit the town center of Alesund, enjoy a couple of the local mountain hikes, and go on a day trip to a fjord. You may want to add an extra day if you’re worried about the weather affecting your ability to do an activity: It’s a nice buffer if you can afford it.
