Oslo was such a neat city and we loved everything we did there! We visited Stavanger which was such a unique and cozy city. The fjord cruise was absolutely beautiful.

In Bergen, we did a walking tour with a local, John, who was phenomenal. He was informative and continually checked that we were okay to keep going. John asked about our interests and gave us suggestions of places to visit. This walking tour was easily the most memorable part of the trip!

Our train ride to Flåm and our fjord cruise to the Viking Valley were breathtakingly beautiful! We enjoyed the Viking Valley, however due to being the off season, there was a 3 hour gap between the closing time of the valley and the shuttle ride back to Flåm.

We created memories to last a lifetime and I’ve already recommended KimKim to numerous friends and family! Thank you!!

Hunting the northern lights

Our adventure to Norway was driven by us wanting to see the northern lights . When we started researching how to do this , we came upon a cruise option that was quite pricey and we weren’t sure in November if that was the best way to travel given the increased nighttime hours and colder temps . We found Kimkim and sent them the cruise itinerary we were entertaining. Our specialist Christina took the cruise itinerary and curated a trip for us based on our desire to see the northern lights and what were the best things to do in Norway in November . And the cost ended up being a couple thousand dollars less per person than the cruise. She ended up going on maternity leave prior to our trip and we were then assigned to work with Katie who was amazing!!!
When our trip finally came … Katie called us a couple weeks before and went over everything we would be doing and how to get around. She also recommended popular highlights in each city and booked us for extra activities and a porter to help with luggage from Oslo to Bergen … which was well worth the money!
This trip was literally planes , trains and automobiles lol. We were on the move every 1-2 nights
She basically created the road map for our trip and we followed it . She was always available on the app to answer questions and kimkim has an emergency number also to help while on the trip . This trip was absolutely epic !!! The hotels were amazing. The local tour guides were amesome . We saw the lights not once but twice. King crab fishing, sea eagle expedition, fjord cruises, historic cities … you name it …we did it !!
Our trip however, was not without complications. We did have some weather that forced us to reroute one part of the itinerary. Katie was there immediately to help us with that. She was on the phone with us, guiding us as to how we can reroute and what our options were. She was absolutely awesome.
We also got a flight cancellation leaving Kirkenes because of a snowstorm. She was on the phone with us, helping us find the best options.
Even though we had the roadmap of the trip to do it on our own, she was always there with us to help us guide us along the way.
I can’t say enough amazing things about the Kim Kim team.
Thank you Katie for helping us have an unbelievable trip!!! We will never forget it !!!
Highly recommend kimkim for future vacations!!!!

I had never been to Norway and they were able to book experiences and activities so that we could see the country and have experiences that I would have never known how to schedule. Both Kadri and Fenne responded to all of my questions before the trip and gave detailed information to questions that I had. We were able to take boat rides through the Fjords, take trains and busses through the country, experience dog sledding, and feeding reindeer. I would highly recommend working with both of them if you are looking to book a trip to Norway.
