5Great tour with top local guide!
We learned so much walking with Myla from Uniktur in the rain! Her love for the city and knowledge of many historical and lesser known facts was a delight. Her additional tips, advice and help with our trip was so appreciated. Alesund is a walking city and a guided tour is very helpful.
4Recommended tour of Alesund
This tour of Alesund was interesting. The guide has personal knowledge and a connection to the area and a deep appreciation for the city. The meeting point was easy to find from the ship, simply follow the big green footprints painted on the pavement down the pier, under the roadway and out the other side. The meeting point was just across the road and was a ten-minute walk at best. Dress warmly if it is cloudy or cool as the wind blowing across the water makes it chilly. *If you are looking for something additional to do while in port after the walking tour, try the food tour.
5Lovely tour
Even if the weather was not nice, Mila provided us with great information about the city. I would recommand this tour to anyone visiting Ålesund.
5Rainy Alesund made fun
Even though the weather wasn’t nice, Mila made this tour very entertaining and educational. We learned about the history of the town and saw wonderful buildings with all of their history.
5Very knowledgeable
Our guide was personable and informative. She gave us so much information that we were able to go out on our own afterward and see exactly what she was teaching. Our teens were very engaged - and the candy treats sure helped. Ha
5Norwegian Cultural Immersion
It was just my husband and I. Our last stop was in a shop that sold local native costumes. We learned a lot about them from both Mila, our guide, and the clerk in the shop. Quite memorable. Mila did a wonderful job telling us about the city and it's history during our delightful walk.

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.
