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.

Best Tour Even on Just a Day’s Notice!
We made a mistake on another tour company and booked the wrong date but was unable to change it and had to scramble for a different tour the day before! Kareem and his team was exceptional in making arrangements and accomodating us on a very short window of time and worked with me until after hours on a Friday night for a Saturday tour. We were glad to have found this tour and company as the experience was the best we had and already forgot all the woes we had to endure to secure our reservation. On top of that, Kareem was top notch and was very flexible and very much appreicated the patience and professionalism he showed in dealing with my group of friends. ❤️

I highly recommend Sultan as a guide
I highly recommend Iceland Paradise Tours and in particular Sultan as a guide. We had the good fortunate to connect with Sultan on a Northern Lights Tour. Sultan was simply phenomenal and thought of everything. He picked us up on time, knew exactly where to go, checked several apps to ensure we had the best chance of viewing the northern lights, took amazing pictures of the lights and us. In addition, he had snacks for us including homemade hot chocolate that his wife had freshly made before the trip.

unforgettable adventure.Private day tour
Hi. I came from Oslo, Norway for 4 days tour to Iceland in May 2024. It was pleasant experience to visit Iceland due to its natural adventures and kind response and guidance of tour guide. If you're looking for a truly enchanting and insightful exploration of Iceland's natural wonders, look no further than the Private Day Tour of Reykjanesbær & Golden Circle with Sultan Mehmood. As the founder and Principal Guide of Iceland Paradise Tours, Sultan Mehmood brings unparalleled expertise, passion, and warmth to the experience, making it a standout journey. From the moment we were greeted by Sultan, his friendly demeanour and deep knowledge of Icelandic history, culture, and geology set the tone for an extraordinary day. His passion for Iceland is contagious, and his storytelling skills make every stop along the tour feel like a page out of an epic saga. The Reykjanesbær peninsula, with its dramatic landscapes and geothermal activity, was our first destination. Sultan's detailed explanations of the unique geological features, such as bubbling mud pools and steaming vents, brought the stark beauty of the area to life. His insights into the region's volcanic activity and its impact on local communities were both educational and fascinating.

Extra Ordinary Service !!!!!
Sultan was an exceptional tour guide, driven by his passion and ambition for his profession. After being left stranded by another tour company, Sultan’s company, Iceland Paradise Tour, came to our rescue within a couple of hours, saving our precious time as we had a limited schedule. Sultan went above and beyond, even adding extra stops to show us the Northern Lights and recommend a late night resturant on our way back to our hotel and made a stop for us to pick up the food to go which wasn’t included in the original package. His company truly understands and respects the value of tourists’ time and goes the extra mile to ensure you make the most of it. I highly recommend Iceland Paradise Tour you won’t be disappointed!

We loved the guide that Sultan sent us. We got to know incredible areas including geysers and waterfalls. He kept it lively and fun and was an excellent driver. The weather did interfere a bit but we plowed through.
