Booking a trip with Kimkim was easy. Veronika was fantastic and her recommendations were all spot on. The activities were enjoyed by all (not an easy feat since we also have 2 boys ages 6 and 8 years old). The domestic flights, car rentals, and train tickets were all arranged through Kimkim, and everything went smoothly. We never even thought of Lulea as a destination when we decided to visit Sweden. We are so glad that we went with Veronika's recommendation! The location of the hotels in both city was great. Centrally located. Easy access to all transportation.
One special shout out to our private tour guide in Stockholm: Gunnar. He is fantastic. Extremely knowledge, great sense of humor, and very friendly. We never felt rushed during the tour. He patiently answered all our question (and we have lots of questions!).

Hotel Reviews
Clarion Hotel Sense
Lulea

Rooms are spacious and contemporary yet warm and homey. Located within walking distance to various points of interest in town. Only 15min from airport by car. Underground parking with charging stations is very nice. The breakfast is fantastic. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended.

Stockholm

2 min walk from the Stockholm City train station, which made our trip to and from airport, Sigtuna, etc a breeze. The decor in our room was modern (we booked a suite since we are a family of 4 with 2 small children). The included buffet breakfast was great. The entire staff at the hotel was friendly, professional, and helpful. Check in process was easy and quick. The on-line check took mere minutes. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

So glad we booked this tour. Our guide, Gunnar, was so knowledgeable, friendly, and has a great sense of humor. The pace was leisure and yet we took in a lot of site and learned a great deal about Stockholm. Because of this tour, we got so much out of our trip than if we just went with a DIY approach.
