sightseeing day tours
Two operators we sell for, both running a sightseeing day tour. Here is what separates them, in the figures we hold — and where nothing does, this page says so.
Laxnes is ahead on more of what we can measure and costs about €282 less a head. The €282 is worth paying to Borea Adventures only if 7 more hours out or more to choose from in this one category is what you are after.
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.
