History

"Missing these wonderful days we spent in Iceland, I reiterate my gratitude for the great benefit it has provided me.”

Rui Beja andAdélia Beja

“Ivo, allow me to thank you for the wonderful week you spent with us! All the information you have given us, which reveals all your knowledge of the country and its history! Besides that and not less important, all his sympathy, availability and companionship were decisive for our well-being and so we could enjoy the beauty of a unique journey!”

António Azevedo Silva

"The Iceland circuit was admirable! For the breathtaking landscape, sometimes overwhelming, sometimes simply beautiful. Sometimes desolating for not allowing life, sometimes surprising for allowing an exuberance of it. Always with the 4 elements present: water in its different forms (including rain), soil of almost every color, clean air (and the cold wind that freezes us) and the fire that we didn't see (fortunately), but as you told us, you feel and see in its grandiose form of manifestation".

Maria Jesus and Fernando

"It is a privilege for any traveler to have a guide who is always attentive, available, willing and knowledgeable.”

Eduarda Marques

“This was a trip that will remain forever in memory. The group was really great, but we were very well accompanied by You. We were very pleased when we found out that Ivo was our guide, and that will happen more often. Thank you very much and see you soon.”

Ana Cristina Pereira

“The return was great and the trip through Iceland was wonderful in every way: - A fantastic guide, who was concerned with conveying the culture of the Icelandic people and their customs, as well as lightening the daily journey, telling stories and fables - Fantastic, diverselandscapes - Good hotel stay - Good food I hope to return to Iceland one day, in another time to observe the Auroras Borealis, maybe we will meet again!"

“Regarding the trip, it exceeded all my expectations."

- I just saw my lexicon enlarged: I didn't know there was an equivalent to 'lahar' (a Javanese term for the movement of water/ice+volcanic material resulting from eruptions in a glacial environment) in Icelandic! Jökulhlaup, much easier to pronounce, no doubt! Living and learning; - Ólafur Arnolds: put everything in a bag and draw lots, only pearls come out! It never fails; - Laughter of the day to the sound of LjótuHalfvirtarnir. Highest density of musical instruments per monitor area and in a boat! See you again in one of these winters!

Alexandra Coelho

"With such beautiful scenery, any photographer is good, right? For me, it was a surprise and an enormous pleasure to finally go there, and to be in such good company - to access their knowledge of reality, especially with the emotion with which it was transmitted to us! These are days I will never forget - I was really looking for Beauty, Silence and Peace. The group, although large, was nice - it was very nice to share those days with everyone. But everything was favorable to us: the weather, their availability and that of the driver. The settings chosen for the accommodation. I brought today from the public library the book "Fish can also sing", by Halldór Laxness; "Independent people" was not available - next time. During the next few days I'll still be walking around Iceland a lot, because I didn't write down everything I wanted and I have to do it while the memory is fresh. Kisses."

"Congratulations for the way you have always dealt with everyone and guided the whole trip, which without your general culture and good mood, would not have been so wonderful. Thank you for preventing me from falling so many times! ...."

"I listened to Ólafur Arnalds’ music and I liked it very much. It'll be part of my CDs to listen to. I bought "Independent People". As I told you, the trip to Iceland was very good for my “soul”. It was a very good surprise; the good moments I lived there will stay in my memory. Thank you for the empathy you created and for the organisation of the trip which was perfect".

Natália Belchior

"Ivone and I thank and praise the form and content with which you accompanied this unforgettable trip to Iceland. Unforgettable trip for the natural beauty that we enjoyed but also for the warm and friendly atmosphere that was created among everyone, namely with Ivo and Gustav. His interest in having a contact with the Geology Service of the Faculty of Sciences of Porto will not be forgotten".

José and Ivone da Silva Ferreira

"It was indeed an unforgettable and enriching experience in every respect. Thank you for being part of that experience and my regards to Gustav. I hope you continue to breathe in nature! I still feel it and breathe it! Iceland is, in fact, unique!"
