fstuff1 Posted June 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) I took this tour: https://www.norwayexcursions.com/en/tour/alesund-from-fjords-to-trolls/ Much cheaper than the cruise line. Beautiful views! Pro tip: Add the lunch buffet. Only $11 more. If you buy it there, it's about $45 I didn't book this tour but found the tour bus and they had empty seats. Paid cash (in local currency). Asked about joining the buffet and the tour guide said she'll ask when they got to the buffet place. It was 450 Nok. Everything In Norway is EXPENSIVE!

oliver67 Posted June 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Thanks for the review. I also had this tour on the radar. Seems to be a much better deal than the NCL tour, even with my 50 $ excursion discount... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallywallygal Posted June 11, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Thanks for your report! This sounds like a great tour, but I'm torn since taking it would mean missing out on seeing Alesund. Hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising_Addict Posted June 14, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback. I had already booked this tour with this company for our upcoming cruise in a few weeks. Decided to take a chance because they are half the price of what the cruise line is charging for the same tour. It’s good to hear that you had a good experience.

We took this same tour - and it was excellent, one of the highlights of our cruise. They start just outside the port gate, just yards from your ship. Yes, they accept walk-ups - but our coach was full, so do book to be certain. On the coach, for best views sit on the same side as the door (not the driver's side) JB 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trollstigen is just under 3000ft above sea-level. We were there at the end of June, and saw vestiges of snow in sunless spots below us as well as above us, and it's a narrow switchback road, so yes - I guess that's why the excursion isn't offered until the end of May. 🙁 JB 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth and Bailey Posted September 26, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 26, 2023 We just booked on RCL for 8/10/24. Have no clue about Norway but husband thought he'd like to go so I didn't give him any time to change his mind and booked it. lol Thanks for the tip and so many who've said this is a great excursion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
