Family Trip to Norway
Norway
|
Aug 4 - Aug 10, 2026
From a planning and booking standpoint Katie did a great job taking my family's feedback into account and suggesting options for activities based on that combined with her knowledge of Norway. We had a group of six with ages ranging from 11 to 70, and everyone had a great time! There was a minor hiccup when our guide for a walking tour of Bergen did not arrive on time, but that got worked out in short order after I posted a message in the Kim Kim app. Delaying that activity to the afternoon actually ended up being better for us because the weather improved and we got an awesome guide named Thomas. We particularly enjoyed our time in Balestrand in the middle of the trip with the highlight being a private sightseeing tour via boat of the surrounding fjords. Our guide, Thor, did an amazing job tailoring that experience so everyone in our family found it enjoyable despite the "hyper-nature" conditions (it rained most of the time). For the most part, everything related to transportation and lodging went smoothly. I will certainly consider engaging Kim Kim again for trips in the future.
Hotel Reviews
Everything seemed cramped throughout the hotel with rooms and bathrooms being extremely tight on space. It was tolerable, though, considering we only stayed for one night.
This hotel is easy to get to when taking the light rail from the airport, and it's within walking distance of the shops and restaurants surrounding the harbor. Rooms are nice, clean, and spacious. Bathrooms are a bit tight with tub/shower entry/exit requiring a bit of athleticism. Restaurant menu wasn't child-friendly but the single dinner we had there was excellent. I would stay here again in the future.
Beautiful hotel located in a beautiful area and a charming town.
Activity Reviews
Thor made this a great experience for our family despite the "hyper-nature" conditions (it rained almost the entire time).
This was a hit with the kids! They got to brush and ride a horse, cuddle sheep and rabbits, hold a chicken, and eat some tasty treats.
There was some sort of misunderstanding between Kim Kim and the local provider of the service which resulted in no guide showing up at our hotel at the designated time. Upon posting a message in the Kim Kim chat to report that, someone from Kim Kim worked with the local provider to arrange a meetup later in the day. That ended up working out better in the end because the weather was better in the afternoon than it was in the morning. Thomas was a great guide and we really enjoyed the history, knowledge, and cultural insights that he shared.
