We family of 5 ,booked the Northen Lights private tour + airport transfers with Sultan when we visited Iceland in Feb 2024.Sultan picked us from Airport during our arrival and have been kind enough to make a stop for us to grab dinner and some grocery before we head to our accomodation.Sultan was always in contact with us providing updates on aurora activities possibility.Lucky us that we got to see some aurora activities during our 2nd night in Iceland. While it is cold weather at night while waiting for the aurora, it is very much worth it. And he even took the photos for us with the aurora too!Sultan is very knowledgable while explaining to us about the aurora and remaining info of Iceland itself.A very warm person while he put the customers need first.Overall we are very satisfied with the service and would recommend their private tour for those prefer a customized travelling journey.
wonderful tour organized with "iceland paradise tour"! Adnan is a very helpful and kind person! He showed us enchanting places, gave us food and water and was of great help in everything! I recommend the tour and Adnan as a guide! Thanks for all!
We had an excellent experience with a northern lights tour with Sultan. It was relatively short notice due to weather conditions. He made adjustments to time and did a fantastic job finding a good spot to see the lights and capturing some great pictures. Thank you so much!!! (Wish we'd done more private tours with Sultan. Definitely the way to go.)
Our group of 8 recently took a trip to Iceland with the northern lights being at the top of our list of things to see. We had reservations on 3 different nights with 3 different companies but they were all cancelled due to weather (we heard others did see the lights these nights). We reached out to Sultan at Iceland Paradise Tours as a last resort. He agreed to take us out and was determined to do everything he could to help us see the lights. He was extremely knowledgeable and knew the best locations. He had us wait in the van while he tracked the lights outside, alerting us when they became visible. We had a great time and Sultan took a lot of great pics!!! I’d highly recommend starting with this company!
I had an incredible experience on this Northern Lights tour in Iceland. Not only did I witness the stunning aurora, but I also captured amazing photos with their camera. To top it off, they treated us to delicious homemade hot chocolate and cookies, making the adventure even more memorable. Highly recommended for a magical Northern Lights experience!
We highly recommend Sultan. Booking private tours gave us the flexibility we wanted on our trip. We booked the South Coast tour and Northern Lights tour.Sultan was extremely knowledgeable about all of Iceland. On our last night, the lights came out and Sultan provided us with professional photos of our family at no additional charge. He loves what he does and it shows! We were happy to meet him and so relieved we made the right choice in going with Iceland Paradise Tours!
Just back from 4 days in Reykjavik 🥰 we had a few poor experiences with it some of the bus travel tours, but I highly recommend Sultan Mahmoud- Iceland Paradise Tours! Sincerely regretted booking with greyline instead of this guy, as they cancelled our northern lights excursion due to unfavourable conditions and on the same night this guy found them for his group, after travelling to Iceland with hopes of seeing them I should have paid the little extra, however I did use him for the airport transfers as for 5 people he was cheaper than the buses and much less hassle! He kept in contact the whole time and was waiting in arrivals, fast and easy transfer to the hotel and back and loads of great advice about where to eat and things to do on the way. The south Iceland tour I booked was with bus travel Bustravel Iceland and the bus kept overheating so that caused a few issues including my son almost passing out(amongst others), to avoid disappointment next time I’ll will be booking with Sultan for a super reliable, hassle free trip
Thank you so much Sultan the Guide for the South Coast trip. It was really a wonderful day spent with very professional and knowledgeable Guide. The whole trip worked well from beginning to end. We enjoyed a lot at different beautiful attractions.Thanks once again for making our trip memorable with your very professional photography skills.Highly recommended.
I booked a private tour with Sultan the Guide for the South Coast waterfalls and beaches. He turned out to be the best tour guide for the trip, arrived for the pickup on time and explained about the places really well. Also offered drone photography & videography. Highly recommended.

A trip not to be missed in Iceland.
Sultan took us to see Skógafoss and urridafoss and took us to see the Puffin birds. Two waterfalls not to be missed when visiting Iceland.

An unexpected experience with the Northern Lights
We were taken to a place far away from the city. The 6 of us were freezing but it’s worth it. Sultan kept checking the activity level of the lights and had his professional camera stood by. Finally even though the activity level was weak we were able to capture a nice photo.

An awesome experience at the Golden Circle
We went (3 couples) with Sultan Mahmoud to visit the Golden Circle on Aug 16. First we visited the Gullfoss Waterfall, then the tallest Geyser and look at the fresh lava surrounding the Blue Lagoon area. Last but not least had an awesome bath at the Blue Lagoon. We enjoyed every stop and Sultan was able to accomodate our needs very well. He’s knowledgeable and friendly and tried hard to make our trip interesting and enjoyable. Highly recommend him to any visitors who wants to explore Iceland.

Best trip ever!!!!
I recently took a Golden Circle tour with Iceland Paradise Tours, and it was the best experience I could have asked for. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make the day special. The stops at Þingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss were breathtaking, with plenty of time to explore and take photos. The small group size made it feel personalized, and the comfortable vehicle added to the overall enjoyment. Every detail was perfectly planned, and I can't recommend Iceland Paradise Tours enough for anyone looking to experience Iceland’s natural beauty at its finest.

Reykjavik and the Golden Circle in 8 hours
Sultan is a pleasant, motivated and efficient Guide/driver who put together a ‘package’ that included both the ‘classic’ highlights of the Golden Circle and the must-sees of the city of Reykjavik – all in eight hours that still felt relaxed!
