As perfect as a Norwegian vacation gets

What a magical trip! My husband and I are independent travelers but we wanted the expertise and logistical skill of a destination specialist who knew Norway inside out, and that's just what we got with Katie. We decided to travel from Oslo to Balestrand and fjord country to Bergen and then go on to Floro and the tiny island of Kinn -- mostly by ferries and train. Katie understood our budget constraints and still offered up remarkable suggestions on centrally located lodgings, including a cabin in Balestrand overlooking snow-capped mountains that we wanted to stay in forever. All the ferries and trains were arranged for and paid for in advance and she helped us secure an electric car for two days. Our entire trip (with PDF attachments and confirmations) was placed on an app, so all we had to do was open the app -- couldn't be easier. When a couple of hitches developed (as they always do in travel), we just reached out to KimKim and they responded in literally a minute and solved the issue right on the spot. Everyone there seemed committed to ensuring we enjoyed a wonderful vacation. A number of helpful suggestions were offered for us to explore at every stop we made, and we feel our two-week trip was filled with well-balanced activities (from cultural activities to awesome nature). We are still glowing from this trip and the wonderful people we met in Norway and the sights! OMG, the sights!
Hotel Review
Love, love, love this lodging! It's family-run and everything about it is superb. We had our own cabin, overlooking the fjord and snow-capped mountains, less than a mile from the ferry that took us to Fjaerland and Vik for day outings. The people who run it are incredibly helpful. When we had trouble charging our electric car, they actually offered to charge it on their own card and have us reimburse them. The dinner meals were superb. Any question we had was promptly answered. The cabin was so comfortable and relaxing that I joked with my husband about moving in. If you go to this area, THIS is where you want to stay.
