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.
Íshestar Riding Tours is ahead on more of what we can measure and costs about €55 less a head. The €55 is worth paying to Viking Horses only if 1.5 more hours out, more to choose from in this one category or 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.

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.
