Summary: Many warm greetings to our guide Mila and my reccomendation to order Uniktour services if you will have chance to come to Alesund. This tour is the showcase of farm life in Norway centuries ago. Small wooden buildings with grass roofs, wild natural areas around. I get feeling of life here that was common all over Scandinavia.
