All inclusive, stress free trip! - Just returned home from a wonderful trip. With a group of 8, it was difficult to decide on renting cars or to book excursions/transfers with a company. Even though we are all experienced winter drivers, we felt the drivers would not be able to relax and enjoy the sights as much. After reading so many positive reviews from Iceland Paradise Tours , we took the chance on turning our trip over to Sultan Mahmoud. We gave him a few ideas and he turned it into a fantastic itinerary. It was a great mix of scheduled tours and free time. Day 1 included airport pick up and drop off to our accommodation. That evening was a successful Northern lights tour with professional photographs and hot chocolate and some Icelandic treats. He knew the spots to go for the best chance of seeing the lights. Having a smaller vehicle also allowed for easier access to remote viewing areas. And if we hadn’t seen them that first night we arrived, we would have kept trying every night of our trip. On the way back to Reykjavik, the lights started dancing again and Sultan immediately pulled over for us to have another view and photo opportunity. Within 20 mins of being dropped off at our apartment, Sultan had sent us all the pictures he had taken that evening. This was only day 1 and we were beyond happy with our choice to book with Iceland Paradise tours. Day 2 we did the Golden Circle tour including a stop at Laxnes Horse Farm for a 2 hour ride. Day 3 was a day of much needed rest and to explore Reykjavik on our own. Day 4 included the South Coast tour with a few special surprises for us. Day 5 we had our morning free and went to Hvammsvik Hot Springs in the late afternoon. Day 6 was return transfers to the airport. We had door to door service in a comfortable van with plenty of room for luggage on airport transfers or room to bring a change of clothing or rain pants to take on/off at certain stops. Sultan knew the history of each area we visited and also the expertise of knowing which order for the stops to avoid major crowds for better picture opportunities. We never felt rushed at any sight and really enjoyed Sultan’s commentary. We never felt bombarded with constant narration or that our space was being intruded. It was a great mix of having a private guide/driver and also our own space. And most importantly, knowing we could stop when needed for restroom breaks!! We had compared the options of booking all individual transfers/tours and for the small price difference we decided to go with something more personal and convenient. There was no stress of finding meeting points or bus transfer locations each day. We were met at the front door of our accommodation and we didn’t have to think any further. Just sit back relax and enjoy. I only needed a camera at every stop as our all inclusive price included all entry fees. No worrying about standing in line or pre-booking activities. Sultan took care of everything. I highly recommend him if you want a small tour all inclusive experience. All I had to do was book flights and our accommodation. Sultan took care of the rest. I only had to budget for meals and souvenirs. I highly recommend Sultan and Iceland Paradise Tours. Initial contact was by email and then further calls and texts on WhatsApp. I never waited long for a reply. Even on our free days Sultan reached out to check in or to give us suggestions or tell us about possible Northern lights sightings from the harbor. We had such an amazing stress-free trip, thanks to Sultan. Every day I said this was my favorite day until the next day came 🤣. Looking forward to returning 🇮🇸

BEST EXPERIENCE!! - There’s no words to compare the stunning sceneries we’ve seen but we would never have this amazing and more private experience if we didn’t have Sultan as our guide. He’s simply the best! His priority is us (his clients) and he’s very thoughtful and always thinks ways so we can have the best time ever.. and we did! . We did the Golden Circle and the South Coast Tour and everything was just so convenient! He picks us up and drops us off from and to our accomodation every day. He knows when’s the best time to go to places when there’s not much people or tour buses around so we can have better photos. He even made an extra effort and took us to a place that is not part of the usual South Coast Tour and boy, the view there was breathtaking!! He even gave us Icelandic snacks and drinks to try… and I mean, which tour does that?? I can’t recommend Sultan enough. If you’re looking for a more private and wonderful experience in Iceland, book him NOW!

Golden Circle - We used Iceland Paradise Tours for our Golden Circle tour. Sultan is a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable guide and went out of his way to ensure we had the best time on our trip to Iceland. Very comfortable 7 seat car (there were only 4 of us). Sultan was always punctual and also he made extra/additional stops if we wanted and there were no time constraints at each location, which you don't get with a big tour group. We also did the South Coast/Diamond Beach Tour and used Sultan for airport transfers.

Beautiful country, fantastic tour, and a brilliant tour guide! - The Golden Circle is a popular tourist route in Iceland that covers approximately 300 kilometers and includes several stunning natural attractions. Adnan, our tour guide, took us on this memorable journey. Our first stop was the tectonic rift, known as Thingvellir National Park. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. It was fascinating to walk between the two continents and witness the geological significance of this area. Next, we visited the great waterfall, Gullfoss. This magnificent waterfall is a sight to behold, with its powerful cascades plunging into a deep canyon. The sheer force and beauty of Gullfoss left us in awe. Afterward, we headed to the geothermal area of Geysir. Here, we witnessed the famous Strokkur geyser erupting every few minutes, shooting hot water high into the air. It was an incredible sight and a reminder of the geothermal activity that shapes Iceland's landscape. Throughout the tour, Adnan shared interesting facts and stories about each location, making the experience even more enriching. We learned about the geological processes, the history of the area, and the unique features that make Iceland so special. The Golden Circle tour was a perfect introduction to Iceland's natural wonders. It allowed us to appreciate the country's raw beauty and understand its geological significance. We were grateful to have Adnan as our guide, as his knowledge and enthusiasm added an extra layer of enjoyment to the trip. After the tour, we undertook the tour of the south coast, and we continued our journey to Amsterdam for the Coldplay concert, carrying with us the memories of Iceland's stunning landscapes and the excitement of the Golden Circle tour.

A Private Iceland Tour Sure to Amaze You - Our Tour Guide Sultan was AMAZING! Our travel agent at godiplomat.com in Chicago, IL, originally arranged a private tour for the Southern Coast with Sultan for four of us. We were having such a great time that during the tour, we all decided to extend our Southern Coast Tour by adding the Golden Circle that Sultan was only too happy to accommodate, literally at the last minute. While my husband and I had previously toured Iceland in 2016 for 12 days, our friends had never been there. Sultan showed us sights we had seen before but also many others that only someone who lives there would know about. He was FANTASTIC! Sultan greeted us the previous day via WhatsApp in Reykjavik, Iceland, to make sure we knew where and when to meet him for the following day in his comfortable, new touring SUV that was impeccably clean. He had water and delicious snacks available that kept us satiated throughout the day tour that started at 9 AM and finished at 9 PM! One of our friends is an enthusiastic amateur photographer. He had brought two new cameras with all its high-tech lenses, hoping we would see puffins to photograph. Sultan did not disappoint him, who himself is a professional photographer! Sultan found waterfalls not visited on standard tours. If you're interested in arranging an Iceland tour, Sultan can be reached at +354 897 0660. I promise, he won't disappoint you!

Wonderful one day trip - highlight - We are so grateful for the wonderful one-day tour in Iceland given by Sultan of Ice Paradise Tours. We greatly appreciate Sultan’s professionalism.

We highly recommend Ice Paradise Tours to Iceland’s visitors and locals alike. Thank you!
