city tours
Two operators we sell for, both running a city tour. Here is what separates them, in the figures we hold — and where nothing does, this page says so.
Your Friend in Reykjavik costs about €31 more a head, and that difference buys 3.5 more hours out, more to choose from in this one category, more languages on the booking form and a higher Google score (4.9 against 4.3). If that is what you want, it is worth paying for. If it is not, Special Tours does the same activity for less.
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.

Our availability snapshot covers the next 360 days. In that window Your Friend in Reykjavik has 358 bookable dates in this category and Special Tours has 359. An operator with no departures in the window is usually seasonal rather than closed.
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.
