horse riding tours
Two operators we sell for, both running a horse riding 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 €12 of each other on a typical fare. BusTravel Iceland is ahead on more of what we can measure: 7.5 more hours out, more languages on the booking form, more room to cancel without losing the money and more dates to fit around the rest of the trip. That is the reason to pick BusTravel Iceland over Viking Horses, 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.

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.
