    I shipped my bag from Porto to Santiago. I was given clear instructions, I was provided with a tracking number and the pick up was in a central location close to the cathedral. It was really handy having my bag picked up from my accomodation, and the holding time was really generous meaning I didn’t have to rush on the Camino. I’d really recommend this service!

    Ivar is the best. Accidentally left my Compostela at the storage 2 years ago and he went through the trouble to find my contact details and ship me my documents. Gem of a human being. Very kind and clean storage.

    I ordered one of the guidebooks and it arrived in a water damaged state. I emailed Ivar to advise him of the situation. He quickly responded, apologized, and offered to send a replacement. I didn’t see his reply until about 3-4 months later. I had returned to the USA, so I responded that if the offer still stood, I would be happy to have another guide shipped to my daughters address in Madrid, and he did so right away. I am highly impressed with Ivar’s commitment to customer service, and will not hesitate to order from him again in the future.

    Ivar was so helpful to me before, during and after my pilgrimage on the Camino Frances last year. Before my journey his web forum and videos helped me plan and calmed my nerves. During my camino, I would check the forum for updates and even used it to recover my dropped money belt. (Pilgrims are the BEST) I also had need to ship an item ahead to Casa Ivar mid-journey for safe keeping. And at the end of my journey, when I picked up my box, Ivar offered great advice on how to spend my time in his beutiful city. I'm so grateful for him- his services and calm demeanor helped me achieve a long-time dream.

    Casa Ivar is the essential Camino planning site. Casa Ivar is my central hub for vital and totally encompassing Camino information. The forum is absolutely the best site for relevant, accurate, and succinct member driven advice. My purchases at the Forum store arrive promptly and accurate. Ivar's videos and commentary give the pilgrim an accurate and timely view of Santiago and various Caminos. Information on other sources can be found at Casa Ivar. I plan and relive my future and past Caminos frequently. It's a virtual home for pilgrims.
