From the very beginning of our inquiry about travel in Sweden Kadri and Camila were very responsive and helpful. They provided the initial outline, responded to questions and made adjustments easily. The hotels they selected were just perfect: interesting, well located, and comfortable. Our train travel was very convenient. They provided good directions to get us from one location to another. I also want to compliment kimkim's "emergency" service. We had a late night question during the trip that affected the next morning's travel. Using the contact information kimkim provided prior to our trip, we connected and received an answer immediately. No worries! Most important for travelers is to have help readily available. Kadri and Camila (and the one-time emergency service) provided that peace of mind. This was our second trip with kimkim, and we will plan for a third soon! Thank you, Kadri and Camila!

Södermalm Tour
Södermalm Tour
Stockholm

Sodermalm is not the most scenic place, compared to the Gamla Stan, but our tour guide added focus on the history of the area and the changing culture, as well as pointing out dining locations. A really good counterpoint to the usual glitzy tourist tour.

Stockholm Archipelago Tour with lunch
Stockholm Archipelago Tour with lunch
Stockholm

Glad we had the chance to see this extension of Stockholm. Very scenic. The lunch provided was very good, but unfortunately when one is in the dining room, we could not hear the narration of the boat's guide as he pointed out special locations and described some history. As nice as it was to have the lunch, I think that it would be a better experience to wander the boat or sit in one of the several passenger areas, use the snack bar if necessary, and soak in the sights AND the guide's narration.

Kalmar Castle Tour
Kalmar Castle Tour
Kalmar

We had a GREAT GUIDE! He was full of stories about the history of the castle, as well as the general history of Sweden at the time of this castle's active life. Interesting place to visit, not quite like the typical palace tour where rooms are loaded with fancy furniture etc, but instead magnificent rooms that have stories to tell.

Hi, Christine!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure helping you plan your Sweden journey. I’m so happy to hear that everything worked out so well for you. Camila and I always want our travellers to feel supported every step of the way, so it means a lot to know that the emergency assistance gave you peace of mind during the trip. We’d love to help you plan your third KimKim adventure whenever you’re ready. Thank you again for travelling with us!

All the best,
Kadri
