Hello. I'm Jonathan, your local expert for Iceland

Active online: 6h ago

Originally from Belgium, my journey to Iceland began in 2015 when I married an Icelander. This unique blend of backgrounds gives me a powerful perspective: the keen eye of an international traveler paired with the deep knowledge of a local. I'm also able to service you in French and Dutch.

With over a decade in the tourism industry—including years as cabin crew—I have planned trips for, and worked alongside, every type of traveler. This experience makes me obsessively detail-oriented and equipped to handle the logistics for any dream trip. I specialize in crafting completely personalized itineraries, whether you prefer a self-drive adventure, a private guided tour, or a small-group journey.

6-day couple trip to Iceland

“We used the Rough Guides referral tool to inquire about self-guided trips in Iceland. We received 2 proposals very quickly, both quite reasonable. We went with Traveo, who organized an excellent trip, with regular communication. The only issue was the weather (including one day of Orange wind warnings and closed roads) but I guess that was out of their control. . .”
