This is so great to read, Kate🥳 I'm extremely grateful for being able to have worked with you & Steve! It was so much fun planning your trip, getting the niche pieces to fall into place, and now knowing that you had a great time!

I hope the staff at the YG resort were able to teach you both how to accurately pronounce the full name so that you can teach me!🤣

We at kimkim look forward to helping you both with another grand journey whenever you're ready to explore more of the world again🌍

I would have given 5 stars but we felt the execution ( booking confirmation as planned) as well as matching the needs with the logistics involved could have been much better. It kind of didn’t justify the money premium paid instead of self planning.

Thank you for a memorable trip overall!!

Excellent location, service. Note: ALL the activities/experiences over the 3 day trip were canceled with no backup. This resort is 1.5 hours drive from tromso so you are kind of stuck with no activities. All activities were on schedule in tromso so not a good idea if you’re choosing this resort for activities. Better stay in tromso where you have plenty of options .

Our entire trip was incredible! Katie designed a trip that included a variety of activities, as well as free time for us to explore. She has been so easy to work with, very responsive to every question, full of exactly the information we needed. I have so many great memories from this trip. I would like to return to Norway some day and hope Katie is still doing this work at that time.
