The actual price you’ll pay depends on the specific class you take, as well as the number of people in your party, since class prices are tiered based on group size. Seasonality is another key factor, with busy dates like St Patrick’s Day generally commanding stronger demand and therefore higher prices.
You can get an estimate of the cost by viewing the per-person starting price on your chosen experience’s web page. For more more information, please contact our Concierge team.
