We decided to use Kimkim to organise our holiday for us. Having just completed our tour of Norway, we are delighted with the smooth planning of our trip. Our specialist Kimkim guide Mar had been in contact to check everything was going to plan which certainly gave us a lot of confidence. The local knowledge provided by Kimkim has been great, we really would not have been able to have done all this planning ourselves.
We especially loved the chosen accommodation which was always central to where we needed to be. Suggestions for activities while exploring Oslo, Flam and Bergen has been outstanding.
We will always recommend Kimkim to our friends and will be using Kimkim again ourselves.
We love to get around and explore different countries on our own. But Kimkim took away the stress of finding the right accommodation, train schedules, which enabled us to concentrate on simply planning our sightseeing.

This was our top pick of our activities while exploring Norway. The scenery was stunning. It was great to be able to step inside to warm up, then to go up to the top deck for those once in a lifetime photograph's. The return bus was waiting and we found the activity ran smoothly. We were pleased everything ran to time, as we had a train to catch later in the day.

Very easy to do and definitely worth it. We did the Norway in a nutshell and was so so much better to not have our large bags or packs with us. The bags even beat us to our next location.

This was my favorite experience during the trip. We had a small group and the guide was personable and made the day enjoyable. We also lucked out with the weather so it was quite picturesque.

Hi Maureen! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the trip overall and that everything went smoothly aside from the transportation hiccup — thank you for your patience with that. I’m especially happy to hear how much you enjoyed the snowshoeing hike. It was a pleasure planning this journey for you! Best, Krista

I had an absolutely wonderful trip to Norway! The itinerary was well planned and clearly laid out by my guide, Roy. All of my hotels were in great locations and had good accommodations. The transports for travel between towns and destinations were on-point and led to a stress-free vacation. In Bergen I experienced local history and culture by visiting Fantoft stave church and Bryggen. I got to see amazing views in Flam from my hotel room window and with the Stegastein viewpoint.

I had an absolutely wonderful trip to Norway! The itinerary was well planned and clearly laid out by my guide, Roy. All of my hotels were in great locations and had good accommodations. The transports for travel between towns and destinations were on-point and led to a stress-free vacation. In Bergen I experienced local history and culture by visiting Fantoft stave church and Bryggen. I got to see amazing views in Flam from my hotel room window and with the Stegastein viewpoint. I toured a viking village (something I hadn't even known existed), and had a viking dinner. I had a great experience in Norway and with KimKim.
