Surf Lessons Taghazout Prices 2026: What You Should Actually Pay
Most surf schools in Taghazout make you dig for their prices — through booking forms, “request a quote” buttons, or DMs that start with “it depends.” That is not how buying a surf lesson should work.
This guide gives you the actual numbers: what surf lessons cost in Taghazout in 2026, what a fair price must include, where tourists routinely overpay, and how to compare offers in thirty seconds. We run surf lessons here ourselves. So yes — our own prices are in this article too, in plain sight, next to everyone else’s ranges.
👉 In a hurry? A group lesson with us costs €29, or €23 per lesson when you book three — board, wetsuit and instructor included. Full details on the surf lesson booking page.

You have probably already sent three messages asking what a lesson costs, and got three versions of “it depends” back. It does not really depend. A group lesson in Taghazout has a price, and everyone in the village knows roughly what it is.
So here is the honest version. Somewhere between €25 and €40 is normal, and both ends of that are real. What moves you up or down inside that range is almost never the instructor. It is how many people share him, and what quietly gets added afterwards — the board, the wetsuit, the lift to the beach.
Ask two questions before you pay anywhere, and we mean anywhere, not only with us: how many people per instructor, and what is included. If the answer takes longer than one sentence, you already have your answer.
What Must Be Included in the Price of a Surf Lesson in Taghazout?
A surf lesson price in Taghazout includes a surfboard and a wetsuit at no extra charge, a qualified instructor in the water rather than on the beach, a maximum of six participants per instructor, a surf spot chosen on the day according to swell and tide, and free pickup from Taghazout and Tamraght. Pickup from Agadir costs €25 (about 270 MAD) per car return for a maximum of four people and is stated before booking. No deposit is required to confirm a booking.
“Is the wetsuit included?” Ask it out loud. It feels like a small question until you are standing on the beach in your swimming shorts being told the suit is extra, and the board is extra, and suddenly your €20 lesson is a €35 lesson.
Four things are worth checking before you hand anyone money, and they are worth checking everywhere in the village, not only here. Whether the board and the wetsuit are in the price. Whether your instructor comes into the water with you or watches from the sand. How many of you share one instructor. And whether somebody looks at the swell that morning before deciding where you go.
That last one matters more than you would think, because the ocean does not care about the schedule printed in a brochure.
Here is what to check before you book anything:
- Board and wetsuit included in the price — if they cost extra, the lesson is a fiction at that price
- Instructor in the water with you — not a guy on the beach waving at the waves
- Maximum six people per instructor — this is the line between instruction and babysitting
- Spot chosen on the day — your instructor should read conditions each morning, not send everyone to the same beach regardless of swell or tide
- Pickup clearly stated — Taghazout and Tamraght: free. Agadir: €25 per car return, max 4 people. If it is vague, ask before you agree to anything
- No deposit required — reputable local operators in Taghazout confirm by WhatsApp. Full stop.
If you want to picture the morning before you book it, here is what to expect from your first surf lesson in Taghazout.
Can Surf Lessons in Taghazout Be Booked from Agadir or Tamraght?
Surf lessons in Taghazout can be booked from Taghazout, Tamraght or Agadir. Pickup in Taghazout and Tamraght is free and included in the lesson price. Pickup from Agadir costs €25 (about 270 MAD) per car return for a maximum of four people, which is €6.25 per person in a group of four. The drive from Agadir to the surf area takes approximately 30-40 minutes. Private surf lessons include door-to-door pickup from the accommodation. The accommodation name and address are confirmed by message before the lesson.
“I’m staying in Agadir, is that too far?” Not at all, and you are not the first to worry about it. The coast road takes about thirty to forty minutes, and the pickup is one car and not one seat — four of you split the same €25.
From Taghazout and Tamraght there is nothing to arrange at all. Send us the name of your riad or apartment the evening before, and the van stops outside in the morning.
One thing worth knowing: the pickup time moves with the surf. We look at the swell and the tide first thing and choose the spot from there, so the time gets confirmed the night before rather than weeks ahead. If somebody promises you an exact hour three weeks in advance, they are not reading the ocean, they are reading a spreadsheet.
What Are the Exact Surf Lesson Prices at Taghazout Discovery?
Taghazout Discovery charges €29 (about 310 MAD) per person for a group surf lesson from 10:00 to 12:30 or 13:00 with a maximum of six participants per instructor, €39 (about 420 MAD) per person for a private lesson for a maximum of 2 people, and €69 (about 740 MAD) per person for a package of three group lessons, which saves €18 against booking each lesson separately. The combined surf and sandboarding day costs €49 (about 525 MAD) per person. Surfboard, wetsuit, instructor and pickup from Taghazout and Tamraght are included in every price. Pickup from Agadir costs €25 per car return for a maximum of four people. No deposit is required and payment is made in cash on the day.
There they are. No form to fill in, no “message us for a quote”, no price that changes depending on how new your sunglasses look.
We put the numbers on the page because a price you have to dig for is usually a price someone is uncomfortable saying out loud.
If you are comparing us with someone else, compare the whole line and not just the headline: what is included, how many people share your instructor, whether the ride to the beach is in there. Sometimes that comparison will send you to another school in the village, and that is completely fine.
We think the fastest way to earn trust in a price article is to publish our own numbers clearly, next to the market ranges:
- Group lesson — €29 per person. 10:00–13:00, max 6 people in the water, soft-top board + wetsuit + local instructor included. Your instructor picks the surf spot based on that morning’s conditions — not a fixed meeting point regardless of swell. Free pickup from Taghazout and Tamraght.
- 3-lesson package — €69 per person. Three group lessons at a 20% discount. Saves €18 versus booking each session at €29. This is the right choice if you are staying for a week and want to actually improve, not just try it once.
- Private lesson — €39 per person. Maximum two people. A longer session (3–3.5 hours) with one instructor focused entirely on you. Door-to-door pickup included.
- Surf + Sandboarding combo — €49 per person. Morning surf lesson + sunset sandboarding at the Timlalin Dunes. Normally €58 booked separately — you save €9 and do the two best things in Taghazout in a single day without a second booking conversation.
- Agadir pickup — €25 per car, return, max 4 people. Add it when you message.
No deposit. No forms. You message on WhatsApp with your date and group size, we confirm availability and pickup. That is the entire process.
If you have never surfed before and want to know what actually happens in those two and a half hours, our beginner’s guide to surf lessons in Taghazout walks you through the whole morning, from the wetsuit to your first wave.

Is the Surf and Sandboarding Combo Worth It in Taghazout?
The combined surf and sandboarding day at Taghazout Discovery costs €49 (about 525 MAD) per person and includes a morning group surf lesson and sunset sandboarding at the Timlalin dunes. Booked separately the two activities cost €29 each, a total of €58, so the combination saves €9 per person. Surf lessons run from 10:00, sandboarding runs in the late afternoon until sunset. Board, wetsuit, instructor, guide, transport and mint tea at the dunes are included.
Yes. The Surf + Sandboarding combo costs €49 per person — a morning group surf lesson followed by sunset sandboarding at the Timlalin Dunes. Booked separately that is €29 + €29 = €58 per person. The combo saves €9, eliminates a second booking, and covers the two activities most visitors describe as the best parts of their trip — in a single day, with a natural rhythm built in.
The timing is what makes this combination work. Surf lessons run 10:00 to 13:00 — you are out of the water before the midday heat sets in, which leaves the whole afternoon to eat, rest and wander the village at your own pace. The sandboarding session runs at sunset, when the light over the dunes is extraordinary and the temperature has dropped. The two activities use completely different muscles, so you arrive at the dunes with tired arms and fresh legs.
Most people who do both say it was the best day of the trip. Book it with one WhatsApp message — both confirmed at once.
Fair warning: you will find sand in your hair, in your phone case and in your shoes three days later. Nobody has ever complained about that part. If you only have one day and cannot decide between the two, we put sandboarding and a surf lesson side by side, and the full sandboarding guide explains how the dunes evening runs.
Is a Group or Private Surf Lesson Better Value in Taghazout?
A group surf lesson at €29 (about 310 MAD) per person suits most first-time surfers in Taghazout, with a maximum of six participants per instructor and 2 to 2.5 hours in the water. A private lesson at €39 (about 420 MAD) per person suits couples learning together, nervous beginners who need undivided attention, and surfers who already stand up and want targeted coaching. Private lessons last 3 to 3.5 hours, take a maximum of two participants and include door-to-door pickup from the accommodation.
“Won’t I just be standing around while the instructor helps somebody else?” Honestly, in a group of six, no.
For most first-time surfers in Taghazout, a group lesson at €29 per person is the right choice — you get a real instructor, small groups of maximum six, and the social energy of learning alongside other beginners helps more than people expect. A private lesson at €39 per person earns its extra cost when you are travelling as a couple who want to learn together, when you are nervous about water and need undivided attention, or when you already surf and want targeted feedback. We wrote a longer piece comparing group and private surf lessons in Taghazout if you want the honest version of who each one suits.
| Factor | Group Lesson (€29) | Private Lesson (€39) |
|---|---|---|
| Price per person | €29 | €39 |
| Session duration | 2–2.5 hours | 3–3.5 hours |
| Max group size | max. 6 people / surf instructor | max. 2 people / surf instructor |

Group surf lesson Taghazout
The energy of watching someone else stand up makes you realise it is possible. With a maximum of six people in the water, your instructor still reaches you after every wave and corrects your position before the next one. The social atmosphere makes the nerves manageable, and most first-timers who stand up for the first time do it in a group lesson, not a private one.
Private surf lesson Taghazout
Three situations genuinely earn the extra cost — you have very limited time and want maximum progress per hour; you are nervous about the ocean and need undivided attention throughout; or you already have some surf experience and want coaching on something specific. For a complete beginner with a normal holiday schedule, two group lessons across a week often deliver more total progress than one private session at the same total cost.
Is the 3-Lesson Package Worth It in Taghazout?
The package of three group surf lessons at Taghazout Discovery costs €69 (about 740 MAD) per person and saves €18 against three single lessons at €29. Two people booking the package pay €138 instead of €174. The package is worth booking for anyone surfing at least three times during a stay in Taghazout. Three sessions spread across one week produce more progress than two sessions, because the third session is where paddling, timing and standing up start to connect.
Yes — if you are planning to surf at least three times.
In the first lesson you fight the board. In the second one you fight it a little less. The third is usually the one people talk about at dinner.
Spread them out if you can: one early in your stay, one in the middle, one near the end. Your shoulders will thank you on day two, and the rest day does more for your surfing than a second session in a row ever would.
The package costs €69 per person for three group lessons, saving €18 versus booking each session individually at €29. Progress in surfing compounds in a specific sequence. That third session is where surfing starts to stop feeling difficult and starts feeling like something you actually do and enjoy (!).
| Option | Cost (1 person) | Cost (2 people) | Sessions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3× individual lessons | €87 | €174 | 3 |
| 3-lesson package | €69 | €138 | 3 |
| Saving | €18 | €36 | Same |
The package is non-refundable and paid at the first lesson, so it works best for people who know they want to surf more than once before they book. If you are not sure yet — start with a single lesson at €29. You can ask about upgrading to the package on the day, and most people do.
The package and both single lessons are on the surf lesson booking page, with the exact times and what to bring.
Are Surf Lessons in Taghazout Cheaper Than in Portugal or Bali?
Surf lessons in Taghazout are cheaper than in most European surf destinations. A group lesson costs €29 (about 310 MAD) fully inclusive in Taghazout, compared with €35 to €50 in Portugal, €40 to €60 in the Canary Islands, €45 to €70 in southern France and €55 to €80 in the United Kingdom. Group lessons in Bali are advertised from €15 to €25, but the price frequently excludes the surfboard, the wetsuit or instruction in the water, so the comparable total is not lower than in Taghazout.
Yes — at €29 fully inclusive, surf lessons in Taghazout are among the most competitive in the world relative to the quality of instruction and ocean conditions provided. Group lessons in Portugal cost €35–50, in the Canary Islands €40–60, in southern France €45–70, and in the UK €55–80. Bali appears cheaper at €15–25, but those prices rarely include board, wetsuit, or meaningful instruction — compare like for like and Taghazout is not more expensive.
“Is it cheaper because it is worse?” No. It is cheaper because a wetsuit, a board and an hour of somebody’s time simply cost less here than they do in Lisbon or Fuerteventura.
What you are comparing is not always the same thing, though. A €20 lesson in Bali often means the board is extra, the rash vest is extra, and someone pushes you into whitewater for an hour without saying much at all. Line up what is actually included — board, suit, instructor in the water, ride to the beach — and Taghazout usually comes out ten or twenty euro ahead.
The water helps too. You will be given a 4/3 wetsuit here all year, and after the first five minutes you will stop thinking about the temperature completely.
| Destination | Avg. group lesson | Wetsuit included? | Transport included? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taghazout, Morocco | €29 | Yes | Yes |
| Peniche / Ericeira, Portugal | €35–50 | Usually | Sometimes |
| Fuerteventura, Canary Islands | €40–60 | Yes | Rarely |
| Bali, Indonesia | €15–25 | Rarely | Rarely |
| Hossegor, France | €45–70 | Yes | Rarely |
| Newquay, UK | €55–80 | Yes | Rarely |
The Bali comparison is worth looking at closely. A €15 lesson in Kuta sounds like a bargain — until you add the board rental, the wetsuit, realise the “instructor” is on the beach pointing at waves, and count fifteen people in the water. In Taghazout at €29 you have equipment included, a maximum of six in the group, and an instructor who surfs with you. The Morocco option is not cheap for its region. It is genuinely better value than most of the alternatives.
What Does a Surf Camp in Taghazout Cost?
A surf camp in Taghazout costs approximately €300 to €400 for five days and up to €800 or more for a full week, because accommodation, daily surf sessions, equipment and usually meals are bundled into one package. Three individual group lessons in Taghazout cost €69. A surf camp suits travellers whose whole trip is built around surfing. Individual lessons suit travellers who already have accommodation, who want to combine surfing with other activities, or who plan to surf two or three times.
A surf camp is not a rip-off. It is a different thing altogether: a bed, a schedule, breakfast on the terrace and twelve new friends by Wednesday. If surfing is the whole point of your trip, that can be a lovely week.
If you want to see Paradise Valley, sit in a café in Agadir or take a day off entirely, a camp schedule will quietly work against you.
Ask yourself one question: will you surf every single day? If the answer is yes, a camp probably pays for itself. If you think you will surf two or three times, three separate lessons at €69 leave the rest of your week open.
A surf camp in Taghazout — from around €300-400 for five days — is worth it if surfing is the main purpose of your entire trip and you want accommodation, meals, equipment and daily lessons as one organised package. It is the wrong choice if you already have accommodation, want to combine surfing with other activities, or are only planning to surf two or three times.
For most visitors, the 3-lesson package at €69 delivers more flexibility at a fraction of the price.
| Factor | Surf Camp (5 days) | 3-Lesson Package |
|---|---|---|
| Price per person | From €300-400 | €69 |
| Accommodation included | Yes | No — book your own |
| Meals included | Yes | No |
| Surf sessions | Daily (5+) | 3 sessions |
| Flexibility | Low — structured programme | High — fits around your plans |
| Best for | Surfing is the whole trip | Surfing is part of a wider trip |
If you are already staying in a riad, hostel, or hotel in Taghazout, Tamraght or Agadir and want to add surfing to an itinerary — the lesson package is the right choice. The surf camp is for people whose holiday is surfing, full stop. We go through the whole decision in surf lessons vs. surf camps in Taghazout.
Are Surf Lesson Prices the Same All Year in Taghazout?
Surf lesson prices in Taghazout are identical all year. A group lesson costs €29 (about 310 MAD) per person in July and €29 in January. Summer, from June to August, brings smaller and more consistent Atlantic swells with water temperatures of 21 to 23°C, which suits beginners. Winter brings larger swells that suit experienced surfers. August and the school holiday weeks book out first. A 4/3 mm wetsuit is issued year-round in Taghazout.
Yes — a group surf lesson costs €29 per person in July and €29 in January. Prices in Taghazout do not change between seasons. What changes is who the conditions suit. Summer (June–August) brings smaller, consistent Atlantic swells, water temperatures of 21–23°C, and beginner-friendly surf that is genuinely easier to learn in. Winter brings larger swells that attract experienced surfers. For first-timers, summer is the right time to come — not because it is cheaper, but because the ocean is on your side.
August and school holiday weeks fill up fastest. If you are coming in peak summer, messaging a few days in advance is worth it — same-day availability is possible outside those windows but not guaranteed. Group rates for three or more people are available year-round; mention your group size when you message.
Season by season, we have written up what surf lessons in Taghazout look like in summer and why prices do not change in autumn either.
How Many Surf Lessons Should I Budget for a Week in Taghazout?
For a one-week stay in Taghazout, a budget of €69 (about 740 MAD) per person covers the package of three group surf lessons, which is the usual choice for beginners who want visible progress. A budget of €29 covers a single group lesson for trying surfing once. Couples who want private instruction budget €39 per person per lesson, which is €78 for two people. Spreading three lessons across a week, rather than on consecutive days, allows recovery between sessions.
Start of the week, middle, end. That rhythm beats three days in a row, because your arms need the day off more than your motivation does.
Book the first one early in your stay. Everybody who leaves it until the last two days says the same sentence on the way to the airport: “I wish I had started on Monday.”
For a one-week trip to Taghazout, the sweet spot for most beginners is the 3-lesson package at €69 per person — one lesson at the start of the week, one in the middle, one near the end. That rhythm gives your body time to recover between sessions and your brain time to process what it learned.
Budget €29 if you just want to try it once, €69 if you want to actually progress, and €39 per person if you are travelling as a couple and want the private lesson experience.
| Goal | Best option | Cost per person |
|---|---|---|
| Try it once | Group lesson | €29 |
| Try it twice | 2× group lessons | €58 |
| Real progression across a week | 3-lesson package | €69 |
| Focused 1:1 coaching | Private lesson | €39 |
| Best single day in Taghazout | Surf + Sandboarding combo | €49 |
| Full surf holiday | Surf camp (5 days) | From €300-400 |
A rhythm that works well for a week: surf lesson on day one, Paradise Valley on day two, surf on day three or four, Surf + Sandboarding combo on your last day. Your arms will request the rest days — this is not a metaphor.

Why Are Surf Lessons in Taghazout Cheaper When You Book Direct?
Booking a surf lesson directly with a local operator in Taghazout costs €29 (about 310 MAD), while the identical lesson booked through GetYourGuide, Viator or Airbnb Experiences costs €35 to €40. The difference of 20 to 30 percent is the platform commission added on top of the local price. The instructor, the surfboard, the surf spot and the session are the same in both cases.
Same van, same instructor, same beach. The only difference is who takes a cut on the way.
We are on those platforms too, because some people feel safer booking with a card and a cancellation button, and that is a perfectly reasonable thing to want.
Direct booking means something else too. When you message a person rather than filling in a form, you get an answer in minutes — about conditions, about your pickup address, about whether to book the combo on the same day. There is no automated confirmation email that does not answer your actual question. No customer service queue if your plans change. You message the person who runs your lesson. That matters more than people expect.
How Do I Book a Surf Lesson at the Best Price in Taghazout?
Surf lessons at Taghazout Discovery are booked by WhatsApp message stating the date, the number of participants, the accommodation and the experience level. Confirmation, including pickup time and what to bring, follows within minutes. No deposit is required and payment is made in cash on the day of the lesson. Booking directly avoids the 20 to 30 percent platform commission charged by booking websites.
Three steps. Message, confirmation, surf.
Tell us the date, how many of you there are, where you are staying and whether anybody has surfed before. You will usually have an answer within a few minutes, including the pickup time and what to bring — which is swimwear, a towel and sunscreen, and that is genuinely all.
The cheapest and fastest way to book a surf lesson in Taghazout is directly via WhatsApp — no platform commission, no booking fee, no deposit. Send your date, the number of people, where you are staying, and your experience level. You receive confirmation within minutes, including pickup details and what to bring. Payment is cash on the day of your lesson.
Three steps — that is genuinely all it is:
- Message on WhatsApp — date, group size, location (Taghazout, Tamraght or Agadir), experience level
- Receive confirmation — availability, lesson time, pickup point, what to bring
- Show up and surf — board and wetsuit ready; instructor picks the best spot based on that morning’s conditions
If you are still deciding between lesson types, our guide on how to choose the right surf school in Taghazout covers what to look for before you commit.

What Is the Cheapest Way to Learn to Surf in Taghazout?
The cheapest single surf lesson in Taghazout costs €29 (about 310 MAD) per person at Taghazout Discovery and includes surfboard, wetsuit, instructor and transport to the surf spot of the day. For more than one session, the package of three group lessons at €69 (about 740 MAD) per person works out at €23 per lesson and is the lowest price per lesson available. Group discounts apply from three people booking together. Booking directly with a local operator avoids the 20 to 30 percent platform commission that booking sites add to the identical lesson.
“What is the cheapest way to do this?” Fair question, and the honest answer comes in two parts.
The cheapest number is €29 for one group lesson. The cheapest way to actually learn is €69 for three, because one lesson teaches you that surfing is hard and three teach you that you can do it.
You will also see €20 offers on the beach. That usually means twelve people, an instructor standing on the sand, and a wetsuit you pay for separately. You will stand up maybe twice and spend the rest of the morning waiting your turn.
If you want to start with the lesson, you can book a surf lesson in Taghazout and take a board out afterwards.
How Do Tourists Overpay for Surf Lessons in Taghazout?
Tourists in Taghazout overpay for surf lessons in five recurring ways: booking with a beach tout whose negotiable price signals an unverified school, paying a low headline price that excludes surfboard and wetsuit rental, joining a group of ten or more participants sold as a lesson, booking through a platform that adds 20 to 30 percent commission, and paying a deposit in advance to an operator without a verifiable address or reviews. A fair all-inclusive group lesson in Taghazout costs €25 to €40 per person.
Tourists in Taghazout most commonly overpay in five specific ways — all of them avoidable once you know what to look for.
1. The beach tout. Someone approaches you on the promenade with “surf lesson, special price, my friend.” The price starts high, drops fast, and the “school” turns out to be a pile of old boards on the sand. If the price is negotiable like a carpet, the quality is too.
2. Equipment charged separately. A €20 lesson plus €10 board rental plus €5 wetsuit is a €35 lesson advertising itself as a €20 one. Usually with worse equipment than an all-in school.
3. Groups of ten or more. Below €25, some schools make the numbers work by filling the water. Ten beginners and one instructor means two corrected waves per hour for you and a lot of waiting.
4. Platform markups. The same local lesson sold through GetYourGuide, Viator or Airbnb Experiences often costs €40–55. The platform takes 20–30%. Booking directly with a local operator on WhatsApp removes that margin — same lesson, same instructor, lower price.
5. Deposit pressure. “Pay 50% now to secure your spot” is not how reputable operators in Taghazout work. Local schools confirm by message. Pressure to prepay by card to an overseas account is the clearest warning sign of all.

Every surf lesson includes a soft-top surfboard, wetsuit, local surf instructor, and transport to the best surf spot of the day. Private lessons additionally include door-to-door pickup from your accommodation. There are no hidden rental fees or add-on charges.
Is a group or private surf lesson better for beginners in Taghazout?
For most first-time surfers, the group lesson at €29 is the right starting point. It is beginner-friendly, the groups are small (a maximum of six participants per instructor), and you receive individual feedback from the instructor. If you are travelling as a couple or want faster progression, the private lesson at €39 per person is worth the additional cost for dedicated coaching and a longer session.
Is the surf lesson package worth it in Taghazout?
Yes — if you plan to surf at least three times. The package costs €69 per person for three group lessons, saving €18 versus booking each session individually. It also drives better progress: three sessions across a week create the repetition that one or two lessons cannot. Most guests who book the package describe noticeably more confidence by their third session.
Are surf lessons in Taghazout cheaper than in Portugal or the Canary Islands?
Yes. Group surf lessons in Portugal typically cost €35–€50, and lessons in the Canary Islands range from €40–€60. Taghazout’s group lesson at €29 all-inclusive (board, wetsuit, instructor, transport) is consistently more affordable than comparable lessons in European surf destinations.
What is the cheapest way to learn to surf in Taghazout?
The cheapest single option is a group lesson at €29 per person. If you want to surf more than once, the three-session package at €69 per person is the lowest price per lesson at €23. Group discounts are available for three or more people booking together. Booking directly with a local operator rather than through GetYourGuide, Viator or Airbnb Experiences avoids the 20–30 % platform commission, which is why the identical lesson costs €35–40 on those sites.
How much should I budget for surfing during a week in Taghazout?
For a single surf experience, budget €29. For a productive beginner week with real progression, budget €69 for the three-session package. Couples surfing together should budget €138 for three sessions each, or €78 for one private lesson together.
Can I book a private surf lesson for just two people in Taghazout?
Yes. Private surf lessons are specifically designed for one or two people. At €39 per person (maximum two participants), a couple pays €78 total for a 3–3.5 hour session with dedicated instruction and door-to-door pickup. This is one of the most popular options for couples travelling together.
