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.
BusTravel Iceland is ahead on more of what we can measure and costs about €14 less a head. The €14 is worth paying to Laxnes only if hotel pickup without arranging your own way there 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.
