KimKim turned out to be a great asset to me. Where other travel companies had set itineraries, KimKim let me tailor my trip to exactly what I wanted. My agent, Christina, was wonderful. She worked with me to create a great itinerary, was always available (even when she wasn't on the clock) to answer any of my questions or address my concerns. She patiently offered different trip plans until I found the one that suited my interests. Her assistance did not end with the accepted trip plan, Christina continued to be in contact throughout our trip and even afterward. Christina also incorporated the travel I was doing on my own into our travel plan making for a concise plan. We did 12 days of public transportation and everything was worked out to a t. I highly recommend Christina and KimKim!

Hotel Reviews
Kviknes Hotel
Balestrand

Location, location, location! This couldn't have been a more beautiful location in a historic building. The hotel and room were charming. That being said, it did have its drawbacks. There is no elevator in the historic building and going up and down the stairs got old quickly. The walls are paper thin, we heard EVERYTHING from the couple nextdoor. The rooms are pleasantly attractive but could use an update. Beware of the hot water, it is scalding. The staff at the front desk were pleasant and helpful. The breakfast buffet was very good, the dinner buffet was a bit disappointing.

The trip is three hours out, two hours at Geiranger and three hours back. The only interesting scenery was within the last hour near Geiranger. Geiranger is very touristy and other than a beautiful little walk to a spectacular waterfall, had nothing to offer.

Thank you, Karen for the nice review:)
You got to see quite a bit of Norway as you travelled from city to city by public transport.
I am very happy to see that you had a wonderful time here. And thank you for sharing the lovely pictures!

It was a pleasure working together with you, making the perfect trip for the two of you.
