Kimkim did a great job

Jun 23 - Jul 7, 2024
We were supposed to do this trip in 2020 so over the years I have dealt with a number of Kimkim people. All have been excellent and Tom was no exception. I found Kimkim online and had never heard of them. I normally plan our trips but Norway just seemed like a bridge too far. The 14 night trip was a perfect match for our kind of travel. Be warned though Norway is a big country!! Lofoten is crowded but a must see. Highly recommend utilizing Kimkim for your next holiday
Hi Peter!
Good to hear you have arrived safe back in Oz and thanks for the kind words. Its been a true pleasure handling this postponed trip together with you, and happy to hear you liked visiting our country :)
I dont think you are the first one to realise that such a small country can be that big!
But yes some places tend to draw more crowds than other, but usually for a reason.
Thanks for letting us plan this trip for you, and welcome back on a later occasion.
All the best.
Best regards,
Tom
