We planned a 9 day trip to Norway and Copenhagen and worked with Kadri. It was such a pleasure working with Kadri, she had great ideas, worked to keep the trip within our budget and was always quick to reply. The interface on the KimKim app is one of the best we have worked with.
All of the arrangements made worked out well and our travel went smoothly. We enjoyed all of the experiences and excursions. The walking tour in Bergen was terrific, and Serena was one of the best guides we have met. The food tour in Oslo let us experience local foods we might not have otherwise tried. The trip from Oslo to Flam provided incredible scenery and the Flam railway was highlight. We enjoyed the sauna experience- being able to jump into the fjord and then back into the sauna was a truly memorable experience. Kayaking in the fjord, even in some rain, was one of the best parts of our trip. In Bergen, we were able to find a window of sunny weather which was the best time to ride the funicular. Our hygge tour in Copenhagen was relaxing and informative- Jackie did a good job and we enjoyed getting to know the other folks on our tour.
The transfers were mostly easy, but in copenhagen we decided to take a taxi to the airport because if we used public transport there would have been a lot of walking and transfers while carrying our luggage. The luggage transport service from Oslo to Bergen made that part of the trip much easier.
The hotel in Oslo was OK, but the hotel messed up our reservation for a double room. We appreciated that KimKim tried to help. The location of the hotel in Bergen was perfect- and it was a nice, but small room. The hotel in Copenhagen was our favorite for the trip. It is a bit outside the main attractions but easy to reach with public transit.

There was a mistake with our room reservation. The elevator was under construction and that caused some delays. The room overall was ok. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Terrific location.

Old time hotel located right at the train station. We stayed in a historical room, which was nice but the bathroom was outdated. Wonderful restaurants for lunch and dinner. Staff was great.

terrific hotel. Very clean and comfortable with good size rooms. the staff was quite helpful. The location is a bit off the beaten path, but it is right on the water and next to a large mall with great food options. It was easy to reach with public transport.
