Krista Muuk

We had a fantastic trip. I really appreciated how much Krista was willing to go through all of our requests and the multiple changes (people arriving and departing on different days, lots of requests for very specific details) with patience and grace. The trip was super smooth, we never had any issues with transport, hotels, etc (I think Norway is a pretty organized country!). We loved our time in Ulvik and Kinsarvik especially, and feel like most agencies would not have picked up on our desire to be in smaller, more out of the way places. Several Norwegians were surprised to see Americans in Ulvik! The hiking was fantastic in both places. We loved our hiking guide, Andreas, in Bergen, along with the dinner cruise and the Greig house and concert. Can't wait to come back.

From the beginning of our planning stages, Krista was amazing. We had a broad idea of what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go, which of course was probably a bit grand for our available time, and budget. Krista was great in helping us to navigate what we could reasonably get in and do in the time alloted. During our trip, we ran into a few issues that needed to be addressed, and the customer service team took care of all of them! I would not hesitate to recommend Krista and NORD/KimKim for anyone wanting to visit Scandinavia!

Hi, My friend Dave did most of the planning and decision making with Krista, our local specialist. For the most part, the trip was incredible. Though we only spent 1 night in Oslo, we enjoyed walking around seeing the sights and ate a delicious dinner. Our long drive to Odda was smooth. The Hotel Trolltunga was very nice. We liked the small town and restaurants. When our hike to Trolltunga was cancelled due to a rockslide, Krista immediately scheduled us another hike to Queen Sonya's trailhead. Next, we traveled to Stavanger, which was a great place to walk around and eat more delicious food. Absolutely loved the hike to Pulpit Rock. Unfortunately, our hike the following day to Kjeragbotten was a bust. They were to pick us up at the Clarion Hotel and never showed up. Dave was very disappointed as he is an avid hiker. Krista did manage to book us on a Fjord cruise instead. We absolutely loved Bergen. So walkable, pretty area near the water, delicious food and friendly people. We enjoyed another Fjord cruise and the Funicular ride. Didn't get to enjoy the view as it was rainy and cloudy that day. Would love a return trip to Bergen!

It took me a little long to write, but all i have to say are nice things. Helpful, good planers, problem solvers...all perfect on our trip. Tks!!

Enjoyed the overall experience working with kimkim and Krista. There was one hiccup with transportation at one location but everything else went perfectly. Really enjoyed the snowshoeing hike with Tromsø outdoor - our guide was great.

Our recent trip to Norway truly took our breath away. From the moment we landed in Bergen, we were surrounded by beauty — colorful wooden houses lining the harbor, crisp mountain air, and views that seemed painted by nature itself. The city’s charm and cozy atmosphere made it the perfect place to begin our Norwegian adventure.

Wishing we could remember our tour guide's name for our Cultural and Food Tour of Bergen. He did a great job and was very knowledgeable about the amazing history of Bryggen and the food was amazing that we tried during the tour.

The highlight of our trip, though, was the journey to Flåm. Traveling through the fjords and mountains felt like stepping into another world. The Flåm Railway lived up to its reputation — every turn revealed waterfalls, deep valleys, and autumn colors reflected in still waters. Our stay in Flåm was peaceful and unforgettable, with the sound of waterfalls echoing in the distance and the fjord glowing under soft autumn light.

Even in October, when the air was cool and mist lingered over the water, Norway’s beauty was nothing short of magical. Every view, every quiet moment, reminded us how powerful and pure nature can be.

We left Norway with full hearts, countless photos, and a deep desire to return. This country doesn’t just offer scenery — it offers an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Choosing KimKim and working with Krista and the whole team made this adventure unforgettable. Listening to what the client is wanting to experience during their trip and hitting the mark with the itinerary, will make KimKim our go-to place for our next adventure.

Thank you for making our first out of country experience unforgettable and something we can't wait to do again.

Highly recommend kimkim for their personalised trip planning service, as you get to collaborate on accommodation options, activities, transport and destinations. Krista offered recommendations/suggestions and I was able to tweak the itinerary to my liking! Fenne from the booking team was fabulous as everything was booked accurately, and logistics wise, all ran smoothly. Understandably there was one hiccup, the 9am Naeroyfjord cruise got cancelled last minute on the morning of (we only found out when we arrived at the wharf). It was cancelled due to operational issues - being an electric boat there was a mechanical issue, however the booking team worked their magic and simply rebooked us on the 5pm cruise later that day (luckily it was fixed by then)!

The only confusing thing was trying to figure out how to turn the tv on (its not as straightforward/easy). We thought the tv didn't work at first, and had to get staff into the room to show us! My only suggestion is in the future, for staff to point this out and show guests! The positives - gorgeous location, boutique style decor and the most friendly happy waitress at the restaurant!!

Just be mindful there is no airconditioning if that is something you expect. However opening the window for the natural breeze is fine when you're out most of the day anyway, and only return when its cooler later in the evening.

We had a wonderful trip to Norway! Krista was a fabulous trip planner, who helped us figure out a great itinerary, and made really helpful suggestions. It would have been very time-consuming and complicated for us to book all our transportation, activity vouchers, and hotels ourselves. Krista, and the Booking Team, made it easy for us, and everything went off very smoothly. We're happy to recommend KimKim and Krista!
