Two operators we sell for, both running a super jeep tour. Here is what separates them, in the figures we hold — and where nothing does, this page says so.
The short version
Midgard Adventure sells 3 comparable super jeeps tours from €286 a person; Gravel Travel sells 5 from €147.
Gravel Travel is about €8 dearer on a typical fare. Whether that is money well spent is the question this page answers.
Every row below is a number from the operators' own listings or from Google — none of it is our opinion of either company.
Which should you book
Price is not the deciding factor here — the two are within €8 of each other on a typical fare. Gravel Travel is ahead on more of what we can measure: €139 a head off the entry price, 1 more hours out, more to choose from in this one category, hotel pickup without arranging your own way there, more languages on the booking form and more room to cancel without losing the money. That is the reason to pick Gravel Travel over Midgard Adventure, and if none of it matters to you, book on the departure time instead.
Side by side
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.

Which of the two should I book?+
Price is not the deciding factor here — the two are within €8 of each other on a typical fare. Gravel Travel is ahead on more of what we can measure: €139 a head off the entry price, 1 more hours out, more to choose from in this one category, hotel pickup without arranging your own way there, more languages on the booking form and more room to cancel without losing the money. That is the reason to pick Gravel Travel over Midgard Adventure, and if none of it matters to you, book on the departure time instead.
Does either one pick you up from your hotel?+
Midgard Adventure: you make your own way to the departure point. Gravel Travel: pickup on some tours. Check the individual tour before you book — operators change this by departure.
How far ahead can I book?+
Our availability snapshot covers the next 360 days. In that window Midgard Adventure has 352 bookable dates in this category and Gravel Travel has 326. An operator with no departures in the window is usually seasonal rather than closed.
Do you get a better price booking direct with the operator?+
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.
