Our trip was a blast; my partner and I had a great time. Flam was one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen. The Viking Village was a blast and very educational.

If we could have changed something, it would have been to fly out of Bergen instead of taking an 8-hour train ride the day before when we had to take a 12-hour plane flight. If we visit again, we would love to cruise to all the sites instead of using so much land transportation. While it was beautiful to travel by train and bus, it took up a lot of time.

Information provided was great. I had about 5 hours at this location and it was too long. You can visit this area in about 2 hours max including having a longer leisure lunch. This is not the Vikings Village fault - it was mine for booking too long it this location.

Our travel specialists, Julia and Fenne, were great. They provided a perfect trip that met all of our desires for one week in Norway. Hotel selection and convenience to train stations and activities was well thought out. All of the activities they had planned, cruises on fiords, train rides and the food and culture city walk in Bergen were all great. Will definitely be using kimkim again. Told locals about what kimkim can do for them in planning trips! Keep up the good work!

Even though we did not travel in the summer, and there was a bit of snow, we really had a great time, and actually enjoyed seeing the white tops on the mountains.
The proposed itinerary was a good match to our preferences.
The guide to Preikestolen, Terry, was great. Overall, we really enjoyed the balance between boat trips and the walks in the nature.

Mar and Fenne’s suggestions of places were amazing and fitted in with what we wanted. Everything they booked ran smoothly, and when one thing was closed, they were swift in arranging a refund for that activity.

Just overall amazing and detail was spot on. Great job!!!

Ethel and Julia were amazing! I have never used a travel agency to help book any of my trips, and I’m so glad we did. Our Norway trip took us to four different cities and each one was amazing. Our group included kids and adults and everyone just loved it. The activities and pace of the trip matched us perfectly. We were busy the whole time, but had some nice down time in the middle of the trip that allowed us to recharge. My favorite part of using KimKim was the in country planning and assistance. We had some train issues due to track repair and Julia helped us through every step and took away all our stress and uncertainty.

I highly recommend KimKim.

This was our first time having someone help us with planning a trip -- and it was an amazing experience! Kadri was not put off by the fact that we started planning on Wednesday night when... our flight was going to be that Saturday! She put together a fantastic draft itinerary, was very responsive to our feedback, and even turned the whole trip from "Oslo to Bergen" to "Bergen to Oslo" in the last minute, as we changed our flights. What a good sport!
The activities she chose for us were perfect, and we especially appreciated the walk with a local in Bergen (this local is a certified guide and a historian! wow!) and the food and alternative culture tour in Oslo (the food was traditional Norwegian, and our guide Katerina was fantastic -- the tour was a perfect blend of culture, city scape, art, history of the people behind the food, and urban nature). But really, everything was great. It was a 1 week trip all in all, and we loved everything we did. We also really appreciated the 24/7 help just a whatsapp message away (even in the Easter holiday) as we did have to use it once. Julia (our emergency contact) solved the problem we had with the hotel, and when we got back from dinner we had the correct room :). Amazing. We are so sold on this whole idea of locals planning our trip -- for sure we will use kimkim again in the future.

I don't remember the last time I had such a smooth vacation. Everything from Mar helping me plan things out the way I wanted it to be to in Norway to getting really quick responses to some questions that I had. I was impressed how well things moved along. I enjoyed all of the excursions we had. Everyone was nice and really tried to make us feel as comfortable as we could. In Norway it was nice really nice being able to communicate with the KimKim team with any questions I had, their response was very quick. I overall would give this vacation a 5/5. Can't complain. Also it was a nice touch with the food plate when we arrived at Thon Hotel in Bodo and being able to stay at the hostel longer than usual so we didn't have to find a way to kill time before the cruise ship. Thank you all so much for a great experience. We really enjoyed Norway.
