Excellent Walking Tour of Alesund - Daniel was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and very considerate. We had a senior with our family of 8, and he made sure she had enough breaks and pointed out where she could wait while we went up the final hill. Daniel showed us some very beautiful parts of Alesund. We highly recommend him for anyone looking to do a walking tour of Alesund.

Get to know Ålesund with a knowledgeable local - Daniel runs a great tour having lived in Norway for 13 years and being Canadian of origin. He answered so many questions for us! His knowledge of Norwegian history was impressive but not overwhelming: a good balance of facts and pretty views during the walkabout town. He was very communicative about our meet up day as well which was appreciated. He really enjoys doing these tours on his weekends and his enthusiasm for Norway shows.

Fantastic tour and overview of Alsund - 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.

Daniel was great, Ålesund is beautiful - The cool, light rain didn't keep us from having a fantastic time in Ålesund! Daniel was a great guide, taking us on a walk around the city center and up to some scenic viewpoints. What a beautiful city.

Daniel - great tour guide. - We were in a small group - just 4 of us. Daniel was our guide and was very knowledgeable about the history of Alesund. He pointed out all the important buildings and gave us plenty of time to take photos. Daniel was very friendly and answered all our questions. He even gave us water and something to nibble! It was a very enjoyable walking tour.
