Perfect Trip arranged by Mathia!
Norway

Jul 18 - Jul 25, 2024
This is the first time our family of four used KimKim and I know we will be repeat customers based on how amazing our trip to Norway was! Our specialist, Mathia, did a great job developing an itinerary based on our requests, and the trip was once-in-a-lifetime! We said we wanted to experience the beauty of Norway and that's exactly what happened - our accommodations in Aurland were right on the water of the fjord, and we saw an otter hanging out there one morning! The hotel in Ulvik was comfortable and convenient, and all the transfers and tickets were perfect. Because everything was taken care of, we were more relaxed and able to truly enjoy the trip. On Mathia's recommendation, we stayed a day in Bergen and I'm so grateful he recommended it - Bergen was the highlight of the trip. The guide in Bergen provided a wonderful overview of the city and we were able to enjoy our personal time there even more. I knew this itinerary was a good one when native Norwegians told us "You saw the best places!". Many thanks to Mathia and his support on this journey!
Hotel Reviews
We stayed in a cabin right on the water with a small kitchen and living area - it was great for our family of four. We had a small sitting area outside that was right on the water, so I spend most of my time out there, looking at the fjord. Excellent breakfast and conveniently located right in the middle of the village.
Amazing breakfast buffet - so many choices and a great way to fill up before a busy day! Rooms were clean and appropriately sized for a city hotel. Location is perfect in the middle of Bergen within walking distance to everything. It was a great home base for our two days in Bergen.
Conveniently located, clean rooms, good breakfast buffet - just what we needed. Literally steps from the train station, which we used to arrive and depart, so the convenience was great.
Family run hotel with lots of character, big rooms and large patio area right on the water. We really enjoyed our time there and the personal attention from the staff ensured a wonderful stay. Conveniently located in the middle of the village, easy walk to the cider farms, kayaks and bikes available for rental.
Activity Reviews
Amazing view - great way to get a feel for the area on our first day there. Highly recommend.
Excellent! Up close and personal view of the fjord and villages - really enhanced our understanding and awe of the area. Staff was pleasant and professional - I appreciated their attention to safety. Highly recommend. I was concerned about motion sickness and it was not a problem at all - so glad our planner recommended this activity.
Amazing! Highly recommend doing a tour with John - his knowledge about the area really enhanced our stay in Bergen. He took us all over the city at a measured pace and pointed out things only the locals know. It was a great experience.
This cider walking tour was a great way to learn about the Hardanger fjord area, as well as learn more about apple orchards and cider production. It was very interesting and helped me understand more about this part of Norway. Highly recommend as a good way to stretch your legs and learn.
Thank you very much for your lovely review.
What a pleasure to plan this summer trip with you guys. You followed my recommendations and put a complete trust on me. The planning phase was so easy to discuss together. I am so happy to hear you liked the accommodations and activities we selected in Ulvik and Bergen. And my great satisfaction is to hear that a local told you visited the best places. It means a lot to me.
There is no doubt you deserved it all. Your... Read more
