volcano tours
Two operators we sell for, both running a volcano tour. Here is what separates them, in the figures we hold — and where nothing does, this page says so.
Price is not the deciding factor here — the two are within €15 of each other on a typical fare. Arctic Adventures is ahead on more of what we can measure: €52 a head off the entry price, more to choose from in this one category and more languages on the booking form. That is the reason to pick Arctic Adventures over BusTravel Iceland, and if none of it matters to you, book on the departure time instead.
Prices are per person for tours priced per person — private charters and vehicle-priced tours are left out, because a car price and a seat price are not comparable.
