We had an amazing trip in Norway. All through the planning process our planner Christina was patient & answered all our questions. She kept well within our budget taking note of external costs as well such as the car. The itinerary was planned perfectly with detailed instructions & maps as well. We had such a wonderful time in Norway it was so sad for the holiday to end. I would highly recommend using Kim Kim as your holiday planner.

Hotel Reviews
Thon Hotel Terminus
Oslo

Hotel room was big & the breakfast selection was amazing, Quick walk from the Oslo Central Train station. There is a mall next to the hotel. Easy walking distance to the places of interest. Only downside, as the hotel is next to a stadium, & if your room faces that way during a match it is very noisy.

The family room we booked was nice but a bit small. We had to carry our luggage up a winding staircase & there are no railing for you to hold on to. The dinner at the restaurant was good. Everything we ordered was delicious. But breakfast was a disappointment. Everything was cold.

It is quite a walk from the ferry terminal especially if you are wheeling your luggage. Staff are not so friendly. The rooms are super small & the room looks like it was partially renovated. Breakfast was nice but there were not so quick to top up finished breakfast items.

We stayed in the cabin. We had to wait for our room for 2 hours past check in time. Things to take note are bedsheets & pillow cases are not provided & you have to pay extra for them. 5 mins drive away are nice places to eat & a supermarket.

We had an amazing view but the room is a bit small. Staff are very friendly. Please take note no lifts so you will have to carry your luggage to the rooms yourself. Dinner at the hotel is very pricey so you may want to find an alternative place. Breakfast was very good.

The trekking up it not for the unfit. Our guide was patient with us & walked slowly as it was through the forest. Although we could not see the glacier due to the weather, the view he showed us was still amazing.

Hi Shamala and the rest of the group :)
I very much appreciate you taking the time to write this review in such details.
It is amazing to hear that you got to see the Moskus ox that quickly, as it is calving season, they can be more difficult to spot. So happy to read this!
It was a pleasure planning this train and road trip with you. You chose such a great variety of destinations and activities.

Best wishes to all of you! Christina
