It was a very nice individual trip for three in wonderful weather with a friendly driver in the minibus, informative texts via audio guide. The islands of Giske and Alnes with the lighthouse are definitely worth seeing, the short exits there are very pleasant (toilet in the Alnes Fyr Cafe), the rides over a steep bridge and through short tunnels (single-lane with passing points) there and back are super exciting and the final vantage point Aksla with a great panoramic view is an absolute highlight. Then make sure to take the opportunity to walk down the beautiful paths through the parks into the city! The only small point of criticism: the windows of the minibus are very dark, so that unfortunately you can hardly take pictures while driving. At the exit points there is enough time to take pictures and linger. Conclusion: uncomplicated booking, meeting point easy to find, everything went well and on time, we would book again.

The trip was really great and was completed within time. The time permitted for each location was alright, I somehow felt that the duration of Alnes should be a bit more as 30 mins seemed less and the place and the surrounding was beautiful. Otherwise rest all was great including the tour guide.

We had a great experience with the tour. The weather was bad and we were the only 2 on the tour, the driver still took us on the tour. The driver was very nice and the route was good. I like the audio and can follow it easily. I recommend this tour to anyone.

Great 3 hours spent learning about the Islands and the driver was very friendly.

It was a nice tour. With the audio guide, this is also relaxed for the driver.
