I am very glad that I found kimkim when deciding to visit Norway. On my own, I believe it would have proven a daunting task to plan and organize the trip. Both Eline and Fenne were great to work with. They were able to craft a trip that focused on getting a little off the beaten path and experiencing Norway up close and personal. Some of the highlights for me were ziplining in Bergen, a fjord sauna experience in Flam and a rib boat cruise in Flam into some of the most beautiful fjords in all of Norway. We went in early July, and because the snow was still melting, we were able to see tons of waterfalls. Our guide was very knowledgeable and eager to share about how the fjords were formed, the culture and ways of living in some of the very small towns along the edge of the fjords, as well as little anecdotes about Norway in general. Another highlight was visiting a small town called Undredal, where they make the delicious brown cheese (as well as others) that is served all over Norway. It was also great that during the trip, Julia was available to answer any questions that we had. I would highly recommend kimkim.

Hotel Review
Fretheim Hotel
Flåm

The Fretheim hotel is a charming, pretty hotel that dates back quite a way. The grounds are lovely and full of all types of flowers along with a little pebble walkway through the grass. The lobby has a nice array of comfortable chairs and large windows that allow for a nice view of the water and that bring in lots of natural light. The restaurant had an abundance of food and drink options as well as courteous, cheerful staff. The concierge was very helpful as well. The room had its own little balcony that allowed for a nice view of the water. Overall, it was a great place to stay in Flam.
