Here is a pricing difference example between a Nomad Explorers Society Journey and a Tourist Agency trip to Ireland. This Trip is priced for 2 people for 10 Days in Summer. The base cost for the other tour has a lot of items not included in the base price, like meals and activities. Be careful with the Tours as initial prices on advertisements this one for example is listed at $749 per person, when you add everything you have to pay for separately it is a lot more.
