Was a wonderful tour, lots of sights and questions answered about Alsund and Norwegian life and history in general. Daniel is great communicator and cultural translator as he is Canadian but has lived in NO for 13years. The walk was well paced and we saw most of the highlights.

    Your guide speaks very clearly, is accommodating to your needs, we had to walk slow at times. He is very knowledgeable of the city. We covered many different areas of interest and views. Since the weather was nasty with rain and wind he gave us an option to cancel but I’m glad I went as the guide was so fun to talk with!

    Great tour, great guide!

    Our tour guide was exceptional ! Knowledgeable, friendly and kind - brought water and local treats for all of us. He also stood up for us when a local shouted bad words and profanity at us.

    Great way to see an interesting city

    Our guide was Daniel who is Canadian but has lived in Alesund for several years and speaks fluent Norwegian. It was a very wet day but we thoroughly enjoyed the tour walking firstly through the Marina and then up to a vantage point near the church. He was full of interesting information about this Art Nouveau city and we finished our tour at the foot of the steps to the Aksla viewpoint.

    Our tour guide Daniel was very knowledgeable and gave us insight into the history of the city as well as the current events taking place. We were very pleased with the trip itself, as well as Daniel's communication prior to the trip about preparing for the rainy weather we might encounter. Highly recommended!

    Great tour!

    Daniel was absolutely amazing. He showed us all around the city and we saw sights we never would have thought. He explained the city’s history and showed us the most amazing views. Our kids had a great time too and were able to do the walk just fine. Would definitely recommend!

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    So nice to hear that it was fun for the entire family! Thank you for your review!

    Highly recommended tour guide

    John_D, Jun 2024
    Daniel provided a lovely 2-hour tour of Ålesund, taking in the Art Nouveau architecture, town history, and local culture. It helped that it was a sunny day, so we were able to get great pictures. We had been in town for a few days already, but Daniel added much to what we had seen, and pointed us to things we had missed. He was very personable, communicating very well, and is a linguist with four languages. His tour is highly recommended.

    Beautiful feedback and such a solid day! Thank you John. Have a great upcoming summer!

    Great tour
