Enjoyed the overall experience working with kimkim and Krista. There was one hiccup with transportation at one location but everything else went perfectly. Really enjoyed the snowshoeing hike with Tromsø outdoor - our guide was great.

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.

Hotels were in good, central locations. Breakfasts were wonderful with many choices. Travel details were perfectly arranged and we had no trouble getting from place to place. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

Mar planned our perfect getaway to Norway. Two weeks with train travel, cruises, and planes to see Oslo, Røros, Trondheim,Tromso, Longyearbyen, and kirkenes. She hit all our highlights as requested with a price range that was within our budget. We had a couple minor hiccups (not related to kimkim planning) and their emergency number was personally manned with resolutions within 15 min. Will definitely use again. They made it so easy!

Our recent trip to Norway truly took our breath away. From the moment we landed in Bergen, we were surrounded by beauty — colorful wooden houses lining the harbor, crisp mountain air, and views that seemed painted by nature itself. The city’s charm and cozy atmosphere made it the perfect place to begin our Norwegian adventure.

Wishing we could remember our tour guide's name for our Cultural and Food Tour of Bergen. He did a great job and was very knowledgeable about the amazing history of Bryggen and the food was amazing that we tried during the tour.

The highlight of our trip, though, was the journey to Flåm. Traveling through the fjords and mountains felt like stepping into another world. The Flåm Railway lived up to its reputation — every turn revealed waterfalls, deep valleys, and autumn colors reflected in still waters. Our stay in Flåm was peaceful and unforgettable, with the sound of waterfalls echoing in the distance and the fjord glowing under soft autumn light.

Even in October, when the air was cool and mist lingered over the water, Norway’s beauty was nothing short of magical. Every view, every quiet moment, reminded us how powerful and pure nature can be.

We left Norway with full hearts, countless photos, and a deep desire to return. This country doesn’t just offer scenery — it offers an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Choosing KimKim and working with Krista and the whole team made this adventure unforgettable. Listening to what the client is wanting to experience during their trip and hitting the mark with the itinerary, will make KimKim our go-to place for our next adventure.

Thank you for making our first out of country experience unforgettable and something we can't wait to do again.

We had a wonderful time on our family trip to Denmark and Norway which was organized with the help of Kim Kim! We were travelling with 11 people (ages ranging from 3 years old to grandparents) and Kim Kim helped put together a fantastic itinerary, booked excellent accommodations and helped arrange the complex logistics of transportation for a 17 day trip all the way to Tromso in Northern Norway. We started trip planning at least 8 months in advance as we knew we would be travelling in high season. As a result, we were shuffled between a few different local travel specialists (which has never happened before with past trips). But everything worked out and it was wonderful to work with Kadri and her team! We were very impressed with the accommodations booked, the smooth logistics of transportation and small adjustments she made to the itinerary to make for a wonderful Scandinavian adventure! Kadri and her team were very response to any questions we had once we departed and the trip was very smooth. The excursions they recommended and booked were excellent while still allowing for lots of independent time to feel like we were on our own adventure! We especially enjoyed the RIB boat in the fjords of Balestrand and the boat tour out of Oslo. Our family had a blast and we look forward to planning future trips with Kim Kim again!

RIB-boat tour to Finnabotn

Balestrand

We went out on the boat on a cool morning with drizzling rain and we not sure what to expect. We went suited up in warm and waterproof suits with goggles and ended up having the most amazing 2 hour trip through the fjords. Definitely a highlight for both the kids and adults and our local guide was amazing! Highly recommend!

The planning process with Anders was great. The hotels selected in each city were in the best locations. The rooms we were given often were not top rate and when I asked for a different room, e.g., with a view or a larger room, upon checking our booking the hotels were unable to accomodate us. Our driver in Norway, Lene, was fantastic. She planned our days well and went out of her way to help the Hernas members of our threesome find their ancestral home towns. All of our other drivers and guides were top flight. Our only issue was that it took several tries to convince Anders that only Deborah and I were travelling to Finland. Even when he finally adjusted the room bookings, he did not adjust other reservations like the ferry to Estonia. Fenne straightened things out while we were there.
