Anna did a wonderful job of helping us plan and arrange our trip to Norway! With her very helpful insights and suggestions, she helped us create exactly the kind of trip we were looking for. Anna and her team were responsive and helpful whenever we had questions, both before and during our trip. I would highly recommend Anna and KimKim!

We booked 4 days in Norway, split between Bergen and Balestrand. We had a lovely time in both places, and we appreciated the travel recommendations made by our Kim Kim agent. Our two favorites were the Dragvik Fjordhotel and the cider tour at Ciderhueset, both in Balestrand. Our room at the Fjordhotel had big picture windows looking right out on the fjord, a truly spectacular view!

The Hotel is family run and you can see the pride of ownership, and the staff was personable and attentive. The food was also excellent. We ended up eating dinner in the Hotel two nights and both meals were delicious. The tour at the Ciderhueset was run by the owner and he was very informative, and the lunch and cider tasting were lovely. We had a very positive experience on our trip, and we enjoyed the travel recommendations from our kimkim agent.

Hi William! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience!

I’m absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful time exploring Bergen and Balestrand. These two destinations offer such different but equally memorable experiences, and it’s wonderful to know they made for a special getaway.

It makes me especially happy to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at Dragsvik Fjordhotel. Those panoramic fjord views are truly breathtaking, and there’s something so special about staying at a family-run property where the warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail shine through in every aspect of the experience. I'm thrilled that the hotel exceeded your expectations and that the meals there became such a memorable part of your stay as well.

I’m also so glad that the cider tour at Ciderhuset was a highlight of your trip. Meeting the owner, learning about the cider-making traditions of the region, and enjoying local flavors while surrounded by the beautiful fjord landscape is such a uniquely Norwegian experience. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed both the tasting and the lunch.

Thank you for your kind words about the travel recommendations and planning process. It was truly a pleasure helping you put this trip together, and hearing that these experiences became some of your favorite memories is incredibly rewarding. 😊🇳🇴
