Had a great time . Good organized, very friendly and Good gide
3A Walk in a No-Tech Past
The tour guide Danny was excellent, delivering commentary in English & Italian. The lighthouse stop seemed to be an excuse to support the onsite bakery/restaurant. The walk to the lighthouse and the stairs to the top once inside are not intended for less mobile. A documentary played on a loop but with no indication how far into the script it was at any point. Few visitors seemed to know it was even available. By the time I saw some of the history of the Lighthouse and was motivated to attempt the stairs, it was time to depart. The Sunnmore Museum was just walking through period cabins. Not my first trip to Norway nor to a similar "museum", so it was disappointing to me. Narration by museum employees or volunteers would enhanced the experience. Did have an opportunity to chat with 2 volunteers (students) in one cabin. He was roasting coffee beans on a wood-burning stove. She was making sweet treats using a rolling pin to thin potato bread dough, bake it, and create small squares filled with butter and sugar. Quite tasty! Had to wait 10 minutes for an inconsiderate family of four: enough said. Museum not conducive to mobility impaired visitors. One obviously can't go inside the cabins in a wheelchair or on a scooter. City tour was fast: size of the bus, width of the streets and traffic denaity complicated enjoyment of the landmarks. Ignore the GPS coordinates of the meeting point if you're on a cruise ship! I tried to follow the Google directions and everything step lengthened my arrival time. Asked at least 3 other tour operators before an information assistant finally identified the correct bus. Viator instructions didn't provide tour operator company name. After 40 minutes of walking, I arrived at the bus in the parking lot of the cruise port - a 5 minute walk from the ship!
4Beautiful coastal town & lighthouse
Enjoyed the outdoor museum with all the historic buildings which have been moved here from local villages to create its own village. The display of boats was also very interesting. all the exhibits were well curated and labeled with explanations in English. The drive to the lighthouse was also interesting. We passed through several tunnels, going island to island to get to the lighthouse. The climb to the top of the lighthouse was up 85 narrow steps to the observation area. There was only room for about 6 people and traffic up-down was one way at a time. So, it took some patience and courtesy on everyone's part to get a turn.
5Light house views
The bus was clean and comfortable. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the local landmarks and customs. We had a stunning view from the lighthouse and time to shop in the gift shop. I especially enjoyed seeing the turf house.

About Ålesund
Ålesund is a harbour town on Norway's west coast, rebuilt in Art Nouveau style after a fire, with fjords and bird islands within reach.
Ålesund lies on a cluster of islands where the Norwegian Sea meets the Sunnmøre Alps, in Møre og Romsdal. A fire in 1904 destroyed most of the town, and it was rebuilt within a few years in Art Nouveau style, with turrets, spires and ornament in stone along the harbour canal. The Art Nouveau Centre tells the story, and the 418 steps up Aksla hill lead to a viewpoint over islands and peaks.
Top-ranked sights in Ålesund: Alnes Lighthouse, Alesund Church, Giske Church.
