Kimkim Trip Reviews for Norway

We stayed here for about 8 days. They allowed us to get into our rorbu as soon as it was ready even if was before check in. I really appreciated this after so much travel. The help at the office was exceptional!!! We absolutely loved Alexandra and Alejandro who we were consulting for everything. They truly love their jobs. We couldn't thank them enough. They helped make our time in Norway so special!!!

Our room was clean and the view across the harbor was beautiful. The staff were super nice and helpful. The breakfast was awesome!

This based solely on my husband's view as he is a fisherman. I was sea sick. Lol. Too short of a trip for him.

Our guide, photographer Geir Notnes, took every measure to make sure our group saw the Northern Lights. He helped us with our cameras and/phone cameras to take the best pics as possible. We stopped in three or four different locations to see this amazing phenomenon in different landscapes. He also gave us a lesson on why is happens and how to recognize them.

It was a long day but so worth it! It was just the right fitness level for everyone in our group. It was an experience I'll never forget. Our guide was fit, knowledgeable, and took our safety as top priority. We felt a little rushed on the Glacier but still managed to get some great pics.

It was a great way to start the trip. We wanted to familiarize ourselves with Bergen and some of its history before walking around ourselves. Eirik who was our guide was fun and so knowledgeable on everything about Bergen. We loved him!

I loved the Bergen Børs Hotel. It was tremendous and centrally located, which made exploring Bergen very easy. We had a loft room to accommodate my family, and it worked out great for us.

The Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel, Oslo, was extremely packed during our stay. However, it served its purpose since we weren't spending much time there. It was a bit away from the center of everything, but overall, it was fine for our short stay.

The Kviknes Hotel in Balestrand was fine and met our needs. It's old and doesn't have a lot of amenities, but this Euro-style accommodation seemed perfect for the location, especially since we were mostly out exploring and only needed a place to sleep.

The Mathallen Food Court Visit was unfortunately a miss for us. We didn't realize it was closed on the day we attempted to visit, so we ended up finding something else to do.

Great guide who led us throughout the city (easy to bike the entire area).

Fun guide who painted a vivid picture of the history of the Bergen waterfront

Quaint, charming. Very good breakfast. Convenient to everything in this small village.

Smallish rooms, especially by US standards. Awesome breakfast Great location to walk central Copenhagen

Loved the background history along the way

enjoyed learning and seeing things not in the tour books

quite convenient not to lug around heavy suitcase if one can do without some items for a few days.

Must do!

Incredibly helpful staff, good location right off the ferry and 10 minutes to the airport. Was just a layover stop for us but nice to look out over the water.

Solid, upscale and centralized location you won't spend any time in because being outside is key to being in this town. Great water views.

Central to everything, large rooms for Europe, helpful staff. Solid choice.

Go now before too many other folks know it's there.

Great location. Comfy beds. Great view of the iconic Tromso sites. Northern lights outside the hotel

Quaint town with a great location on the water. It was busy with fishing groups but never loud or a problem. It was fun to watch them come in and visit about their catch of the day. The location is close to hiking trails. Amazing views and northern lights from our deck.

Our favorite! The northern lights cabins were insta worthy. Can't describe the beauty from our deck and large windows. Northern lights dancing over head and hot tubs to relax after hiking. The owner is friendly and so helpful. The staff in the café made special pizza at our request. Breakfast was very generous. Location can't be beat for access to national park across the road

Unique experience in beautiful cabins. Probably only needed one cabin for the whole family of 5. Owners are entertaining and helpful. Very generous with use of space and helped us with ingredients for our fish fry. Check out the handmade sweaters the owner makes. They are amazing. So special they were handmade

Great location and beautiful apartments. Groceries are right next door. Great second hand store across the street

Captain was great. Not alot of wildlife. Time of year wasn't right. Beautiful boat ride

Fun and peaceful

Wow what an experience

Great guide. So funny. He was patient with me tangling the fishing line!

Anastasia was energetic and knowledgeable. She was so excited taking time to take pictures of us and explain the differences in viewing the lights in the artic oval

We stayed in the vintage cabins and it was amazing!

Great hotel in a great location. Excellent staff who upgraded our room when they saw how crowded we were and with my wife's mobility difficulties. They could do with handing out a clear guide to the parking situation, I got lost trying to get back from leaving the car when in fact I was only 5 minutes away!

This hotel is pretty old and the public areas are very nice, but the room we had was old and tired and although the bathroom had been updated the beds were poor and the room too cold.

Amazing views in places and just exciting to go up and down so steeply, albeit very slowly.

Great cruise on an electrical powered carbon fibre boat. Getting back on the shuttle bus was a bit confusing and there is no where to site while waiting outdoors for the bus. Viking village was very good, interesting with nice faux Vikings to talk to. Axe throwing definitely top fun. Good restaurant at the village.

The location was great - a short walk from the ferry terminal and close to buses. It is close to many of the places a tourist would want to visit. The reception staff were very helpful and the breakfasts, vika and dinners were well provided. There was a lovely area where you could relax with a coffee or tea .

The hotel is a short walk from the quay . It has a superb location and the front part is beautifully decorated . The breakfast was exceptional .

Great location near to the bus station and the quay . Our accommodation was modern and fresh and overlooked the fjord - quite magical !

The reception staff were extremely helpful and the location was great - a tram stop was very close by . Definitely recommend!

Ole did a great job taking us to different places and introducing us to Norwegian food as well as explaining some of the background and history of the places we walked through. Very entertaining and informative . Well paced.

The scenery was breathtaking even in the rain .

We booked a Viking Bike tour of Oslo city which was a highlight of our Oslo visit . The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about Norway , Oslo , past and present.

Loved this hotel. The location is wonderful. It’s on a very quiet side street with lovely flowers in the middle of the street near all the sights. The room is colorful, clean, modern, compact, and our room was very quiet. Would definitely recommend.

Great location. Loved the balcony view, big clean room, modern bathroom. Breakfast very extensive.

What a location! The hotel was lovely in an incredible location and the breakfast area and dining room were very nice. Would definitely recommend staying here for Flam. We stayed in an historic room. It was very quiet, with lovely sheets, and a modern bathroom. However, the chairs and sofa in the room needs to be restuffed. We couldn’t sit on them - but that wasn’t a problem. Also, although the bathroom is modern and lovely, our room had a ball and claw tub which would be a challenge for some people to use.

Very nicely furnished, comfortable linens, modern bathroom, clean, nice to have a living room and a bedroom. The food and dining room was very nice. Lots of places to sit and talk. The city itself doesn’t have much in it to do but we enjoyed hiking

Amazing location, very quiet room, convenient to everything. Very clean, modern bathroom

Great location. Very quiet rooms. Very clean, modern bathroom, lovely linens. Highly recommend

We really enjoyed this RIB boat experience. It was different from the RIB boat experience in Flam. If you were only picking one of the two to do, we’d pick the one in Flam with the cheese tasting. However, this was also wonderful and we’re so, so glad we got to do both. The scenic beautiful out on the fjord is spectacular! The tour guide was knowledgeable and being on the water in both towns was truly memorable! This is definitely worth doing!

What a wonderful experience! This is a fun, informative, interesting, and very tasty activity! The owner showed us part of the apple orchard as he explained the history of their business, the kinds of apples grown, the cider making process, etc. He was lively and interesting. Then, we had a tasting of 5 types of cider with food pairings (we did the late afternoon cider pairings with snacks). The food and cider were delicious and the setting, sitting on their beautiful terrace overlooking part of their orchard, was lovely. We highly recommend this activity!

Surprisedly good! We really enjoyed seeing areas we did not get to see otherwise. It was just the right mix of information, the right length of time at each stop, and it was a good length overall. We enjoyed this more than we expected. We would recommend it!

Very special - a must see in this area. Great views! It’s a landmark type of experience.

This was truly awesome! This was one of the highlights of our month trip! The scenery is absolutely spectacular and the guide was lively, very informative, interesting, and just delightful. The cheese tasting and the information on the town and cheese making was very interesting. The RIB boat company was very professional, gave great information, and the boats were very nice. Don’t miss this! It’s wonderful!

Loved the location on the pier. There was a lot of variety on the menu and the food was good.

Terrific! The guide was wonderful! He was knowledgeable, cheerful, gave us a lot of information about Oslo, paced the walk perfectly for the people in the group. It was a lovely 1/2 day trip and we really enjoyed it.

The food was fine but we didn’t think it was anything special. If you go there, fine. But, there’s so many other restaurants to try.

We got to taste bites of a lot of different foods and we learned a lot. The tour guide’s knowledge and information was very good. However, the guide had a cold, non-conversational demeanor. We felt that a bubbly or warm or more engaging tour guide would have improved the tour. Also, Kim-Kim did notify the tour company of our allergies/dietary restrictions and the guide did ask at the beginning of the tour if anyone had allergies. But, the food choices could have been arranged ahead of time to easily accommodate our needs. Because we didn’t want to make a big deal in front of others, we just didn’t eat some of the items. Having said all this, we still enjoyed the tour and felt very lucky to have tasted so many interesting items and we learned so much.

Great view and great location. The food is very good.

Great location, close to everything. Very good breakfast. Not much space for our group of 8 to gather and hang out.

Nice views off balcony, amazing breakfast. Rooms are very small.

Loved the views off our balcony. Extremely spacious. Breakfast was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Excellent location, great breakfast.

Took a private taxi to the airport. Not really necessary as the tram goes right to the airport for about $4 per person

It was a nice ride up to the top of the mountain to get city views. There is also a playground and troll park at the top to explore. Luckily we had sunshine, would not be much fun in the rain.

It's cute city with some nice museums. We enjoyed the museums and shops and old architecture

We skipped this activity. It was a 2 hour ferry ride both ways and we had just spent 4 hours on a ferry to get to Bergen the night before. It would have taken up all our free time in Bergen.

Everyone in our group really enjoyed this activity and the food was excellent. The guide did a great job explaining the process and they had non alcoholic options available

This is a very small village without a lot to see. I was hoping for quaint little shops and cafes but they don't have any. There is a cute church but not much else to see unless you want to do alot of uphill hiking.

Everyone in our group enjoyed this activity. Our guide was great and the boat ride was fun

Only 3 of us were able to do this activity as it was too strenuous for the rest of our group. Very steep stairs. The views were great!

Everyone in our group enjoyed this activity even though we don't drink much beer. The food was great.

It's a small little museum attached to a souvenir shop. Luckily it is free.

We were very rushed as the island hopping tour took up much of our time. We did enjoy the free guided tour of the grounds and learned a lot. Wish we would have had more time to see all of the exhibits. Would love to go back with more time.

We didn't do this activity. We did not have time.

The first island was cute, could have skipped the 2nd island completely, 3rd island had an old monastery but wasn't very exciting either. It was too much walking for 3 people in our group so at the last island they sat in the cafe while the rest of us hiked. We had so much time to explore nature at the other villages that I'd rather not done this activity in Oslo. It took up all our time during the day when we could have been visiting museums.

We did not have any time to explore Oslo. We got into town after the museums were closed and our excursion the next day took up most of the time during the day, On our last day we were on the train to early to explore.

Loved this hotel. Right across from the train station. The hotel itself was beautiful and the people were extremely helpful with anything we needed.

Loved Tromso and would have liked to stay longer. Hotel and location were great.

This was a very nice hotel and allowed us to get to our ferry by just walking.

This hotel was more like a hostel. This was the only hotel that we were not really happy with but it was authentic.

The Ferry Pollus was great. Traveling though the Fjords was beautiful.

Old hotel with lots of charm.

Great hotel. Everyone was very helpful. The location was perfect.

Great guides, Lucien and Maria. Despite our initial concerns with weather, sleet, rain, thick fog, we were able to end our day with lots of history, beautiful scenery and a wonderful place to view a glacier. Awesome trip. To imagine the mountains and the tremendous glacier in all their glory.

The hotel was centrally located. My room was ready early but not pristine. Some remnants of the prior guest left behind. I would have rather waited.

This hotel was very convenient for walking around Tromso.

This hotel was easy to find with beautiful views and walking paths.

I loved the yellow outside color of this building and the fact that it sits on a waterway.

The hotel setting couldn't be more beautiful!! The owner was very inspiring!

I liked getting out on the water, the kayaking was easy and provided another way to see the fjord and waterfalls up close.

This was a great way to see the fjord up close.

Everyone in our group loved this activity! I had never been white water rafting so I was very nervous, but the guides were excellent and told us exactly what to do. I would go again.

The elevator broke and nobody was there to fix it . Almost missed a major scheduled event . Took us 45 minutes to get down from floor 4 to the lobby.
