Linda Veråsdal

We had an amazing 12 day trip in southern Norway, planned by Linda. She arranged all hotels, walking tours, a kayak outing, and transfers and excursions on trains and boats. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. Tour guides in Oslo and Bergen were excellent. Highlights were the Flåm rail ride and fjord cruises, although we enjoyed much of the rest of the countryside too.
Also, museum visits in Oslo and Alesund were informative and enjoyable as well.
Linda was very helpful and available as was her colleague, Tom. We had a couple of hiccups which were quickly remedied. All in all, a great experience that we highly recommend.

What an awesome trip! I have always planned trips on my own but wanted to personalize this trip for my granddaughters. Linda was nothing short of amazing and helped me to find the perfect tours that met my goal as well as pleasing the adults. When I had ideas, Linda would explore options, would explain why/why not it might be feasible, and/or would come up with additional suggestions. Every single day was a win when it came to experiences. John and Steig, our city tour guides, catered to our 2-62 year old group, Captain Tor was truly incredible and a family favorite. Glacier tours, Viking Village, swimming in fjords, troll forests, driving to mountaintops, Stave churches, Flam Railroad, and so much more! When Kimkim states they are always available, they are. We lost two pieces of baggage and they helped us navigate the airline (on the weekend and off hours.) When I broke my arm, they told me where the clinic was once I got off the ferry. This was critical! Finally, they still offered suggestions while we were on the trip. This wasn't we've got your money and we are done. I will definitely use Kimkim for future travel and highly recommend you give them a try.

Linda set up a wonderful trip for my family. We made changes- sorry- but she rolled with the changes and made it so easy. Thank you. The guides were great, accommodations were wonderful. LeeeAnn

Our local tour guides, Stig(Oslo), Tor(Belestrand) and John (Bergen) were great! They all had wonderful stories to tell and it was obvious they had great love for their cities. Thank you!

We loved our trip to Norway and working with Linda who lives in Norway. We usually plan our own trips, but we became unsure of where to go and how to get around. Linda had a plan for us within 24 hours. We loved the fjords, the quaint hotels, our kayaking and mountain bike/hike trips, the beautiful countryside and all the people we met. Linda checked in with us during our trip and was available if we had questions.

We just returned from an amazing vacation to Norway planned by Linda. She incorporated all of my requests -to be away from crowds, on the water, and to be active both hiking and on the water. We travelled to Bergen, Fjaerland, Vaerlandet, and Lofoten and each offered stunning views and landscapes. The accommodations were perfect as well - quaint and personal. I would not have been able to organize such a trip myself or find such gems to stay. LInda was such a pleasure to work with. She was responsive both before and during the vacation to questions and requests. It was comforting to have that local person in country when we had a question. Again - fabulous trip. I would use KimKim again in the future!

Linda was incredible. Helpful, kind, patient and very responsive. I loved working with her. She gave great recommendations and was there every step of the way. 10/10!

Linda did a great job planning our trip. She was always very responsive and was able to address all issues. If we do this again, we will certainly ask for her.
