First I would like to commend Mathias for putting together a memorable itinerary and seeing to every detail. He was very attentive to incorporating my requests for modifications. He was supportive throughout our trip. He responded to any questions or concerns. If he was not available, he provided us with a back-up rep. The guides (Slig, John, and Wanda) were very knowledgeable and gave us wonderful incites into their areas. Bjorn who took us on the Waterfall Hike was extremely knowledgeable about his about area and made the hike and the viewing really fun.

Mathia, thank you for helping us plan a wonderful trip. You enhanced our original itinerary and provided great recommendations. Our bookings provided seamless transportation including trains, ferries and a car all in one day! Your prompt reply to questions was appreciated! Thank you for helping us make the memories!

Mathia was outstanding in helping us plan an amazing trip with activites and fjord trips. We were on all the major fjords including the UNESCO Geirangerfjord and twice on the Naeroyfjord.

I had no idea there would be so much support DURING our travels. Mathia sent us messages regularly, and when he wasn't working, we were helped by Tom and Katie.

The only thing that I wish was different, would be that the communication wasn't website based. For me, it would be better through texting on WhatsApp or a similar platform. Due to international plans through my cellular carrier, I had disabled email. So I was unaware of chats that were web based early on... Then, when I went to the kim kim web chat portal, getting the web page to refresh properly on my phone led to delays in me seeing messages through the kimkim chat portal.

But everything Mathia suggested and arranged worked wonderfully! I have recommended kimkim to many of my friends.

What a great trip, Katie was beyond helpful from where to go, lunch spots, plus what is special in each of our locations. Overall, KimKim and Katie made our family trip to Norway one that we will remember forever.

There were no places we didn't love. Mathia was an indispensable before during and after our trip. He made the the absolute best itinerary.

Only a short walk to the farms. We didn't think we'd like cider, but now we're big fans.

We had a fantastic time. Highlights were the two day kayaking trip and the overnight Trolltunga hike. We were also very impressed with the transportation throughout. Seamless transfers and really nice trains and busses. We walked around Oslo and Bergen and enjoyed our urban experience. Great time all around.

Linda's guidance before and during the trip was very helpful. She and her team were very attentive while we were traveling and offered excellent insights.
