What our students said about Siena

A beautiful old city with many attractions, friendly and helpful people. I did not use public transport much and the geographical points were not important to me either.

5.0Josepha Netherlands

A very beautiful, lively city with great cultural offerings, a cathedral, museums, concerts, some excellent restaurants, and a wonderful setting surrounded by nature.

5.0Dagmar Germany

It’s amazing - great food, very friendly, really interesting history, a perfect size and lots to see and do. Oh, and one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

5.0Gary England UK

A very nice little town with limited attractions. In July-August the weather is quite unbearably hot. Several interesting sights and the sea within 1-2 hours.

3.0Erzsébet Hungary

It is more lively that you could imagine for a city of this size. Probably because it is a very touristic and also a university city.

5.0Simard Canada

A proud, historically grown city. Very clean and safe. Wonderful art, fabulous architecture. A jewel. And not as crowded as Florence.

5.0Andrea Germany

I would recommend Siena as a destination to anyone. Such a lovely place to be, hard to describe, but very special.

5.0Evelyn Australia

Like a tiny Florence but without the over-abundance of tourists. Beautiful little city and worth visiting.

5.0Dino South Africa

Beautiful city. (But steep hills, which may be hard work for people with mobility issues.)

5.0William England UK

Siena is a great destination. We certainly knew it well after four weeks!

5.0David

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
Basil Havens verified client
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
Gabriele Ragger verified client
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.
