Snaefellsnes Peninsula Tour and airport transfer - My teenage son and I had a great customized tour, including airport transfer and special day seeing the most amazing sites. We really enjoyed the hot spring, Hvammsik. We visited Kirkjufell mountain and waterfall, Djupalonssandur Beach, two sets of cliffs and the Vatnshellir lava cave! Our driver was very catering to us and treated my son like his own. Thank you for this special trip and the amazing pictures and memories.

Private Day Tour in Reykjanesbaer. - Initially we hired Sultan from Iceland Paradise Tours for a southeast tour. It was fabulous! Sultan is friendly, experienced and very knowledgeable about all the sights and of Iceland. He takes great pride in making the tour perfect for each group.
We enjoyed this tour so much that we hired him again for our last day to tour the west coast of Iceland and then to drop us off at the airport. I hadn’t read much about the western part of the country, but it was simply gorgeous and once again Sultan made the day perfect. In addition to all the beautiful
spots, Sultan was able find where my dad served in the navy and we saw where his barracks and avaition hangar were from back in the 1960’s! This really made our day. Sultan had us back at the airport at the perfect time. We can not say enough about Sultan’s professionalism, knowledge and friendliness. We highly recommend him for any tour in Iceland that you are thinking of taking. When we return to Iceland in the future, the first thing we will do is hire Iceland Paradise Tours for a northern lights tour. We can not say enough wonderful things about this private tour!
