My guide, Radmyla (Myla), did a great job showing me around Alesund. It is a beautiful and unique city filled with Art Nouveau style buildings which were built after a devastating fire in 1904. She showed me a “magic” bench that was heated! It was wonderful sitting on it. We stopped in a hotel, a former warehouse for local fisheries, that did a beautiful job of restoring this historic building (a nice, clean bathroom stop too). After our walking tour, we drove to a mountain lookout point for sweeping views of the city, islands and mountains. Myla speaks perfect English and is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of this beautiful city. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guides, Ionnes and a lovely, kind woman from Germany, were knowledgeable and kind, sharing so much insight into the history and future of this unforgettable part of the world. Distinguishing highlights of this trip were some of the little things: the boat captain’s careful slowing of the craft to allow for careful observation of the Veil falls, and the delicious boxed ‘Geiranger “tapas”—thoughtfully and locally sourced tapas from the community there.

We were lucky with the weather, even though the Geirangerfjord was frozen over and the original tour had to be replanned and we continued by bus. The two very friendly fjord rangers gave us very interesting information in English and German. We were the only group of guests in Geiranger and the stops (Eidsvatnet and Ørnesvingen)... as our tour took place on January 5th in very wintry conditions, it was nice and quiet.

It was very informative and scenic. The tour guide were very knowledable. The food arrangements were good as well. Everything was upto the mark.
