Great Experience!
Norway

Oct 28 - Nov 3, 2026
Although my wife and I are experienced travelers, we felt we needed help in planning our trip to Norway. We engaged the Kimkim team to assist in planning and are very glad we did! The team solicited our input as to what things we wanted to do and see on our trip. From there, they booked the hotels, travel and excursions for the six day trip. The hotels were all very nice, especially our waterfront room at the Flåm Marina Hotel. Breakfast was included at each stop which was convenient. All the travel and connections were flawless. The excursions provided by the Kimkim team exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the private sauna experience in Flåm as well as the waterfall hike, which we would have overlooked if we had booked things ourselves. We had walking tours in Oslo, Flåm and Bergen, and our guides (Minji, Luis and Thomas respectively) were friendly and knowledgeable. As it was off season in Norway, we were in small groups which made for a more intimate and casual experience. All of our tickets, confirmations and vouchers were stored on the Kimkim app which made for easy access. The team was also very responsive and available by chat whenever we had questions. Overall we were delighted with the trip and highly recommend Kimkim as a travel planner!
Hotel Reviews
Small hotel, situated on the waterfront in Flåm. The staff was very friendly and we had beautiful view of the fjords and mountains right from our deck! Only a five minute walk from the Flåm railway.
Right in the harbor area, one block from the Mount Floyen funicular. Close to everything! Friendly staff and rustic charm.
Ten minute walk from the train station and from harbor. Friendly staff and pleasant accommodations.
Activity Reviews
Lot of fun! This is not something we would have booked ourselves but glad we did! Floating sauna, 192 degrees F, water was 46 degrees F if you dared make the plunge!
Interesting re-enactment of Viking life. As it was off-season, there were not many people around, but those that were, were friendly and knowledgeable. We got to shoot the bow and arrow as well as learn axe throwing. Our visit included a 45 minute guided tour in English which touched on aspects of Viking life back in the day.
Luis, our guide, first drove us to a lookout atop a mountain overlooking Flåm. The views were glorious! Then he brought us on an approx 4km hike up to a waterfall, which was also very pretty.
Minji, our guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable. As it was off season, my wife and I were the only ones in the group, so we had a private tour!
Our guide, Thomas, was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a number of stops and discussed some of the cultural and historical aspects of Bergen.
