glacier hikes
Two operators we sell for, both running a glacier hike. Here is what separates them, in the figures we hold — and where nothing does, this page says so.
Melrakki Adventures is ahead on more of what we can measure and costs about €79 less a head. The €79 is worth paying to Marina Travel only if more languages on the booking form 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.

No. We sell at the operator's own price — we are paid a commission by them, not a mark-up by you. The reason to book here is that you can put both operators' tours in one basket and pay once.
