What our students said about Lima

5.0

Rating: 5/5

Chaotic bus traffic, as many providers operate the transport network. It is annoying that horns are honked day and night. Also the honking of taxi drivers hoping for a ride with the gringos. Cabify is a great app for ordering a taxi, and it's great that the price for the ride is included. So you don't feel ripped off. Unfortunately, there are few cultural events in Lima. The tourism centres are not staffed or only have a lot of brochures from a few providers. No real incoming tourism.

The city is huge and travelling from one place to the other takes a long time due to the absence of an overall public transportation system. But this is what makes Lima an interesting and adventurous choice which I can totally recommend to anyone who loves to explore new places.

What school directors said about Lima

Emily Caro Snchez

Because it's ranked as the best food in Latin America, besides interesting museums and the most beautiful views of the pacific ocean, walk along the Malecón, a six-mile boardwalk perched on clifftops, we'll see joggers and surfers down the beaches.

I thought the combination of lessons in the morning and excursions in the afternoon was great. The activities were very varied and well organised. Everyone who works at the school is super nice, you always have someone to talk to and I felt very comfortable. I also really enjoyed the lessons. It was a good mix of grammar and speaking.

The teachers were really good and super friendly! I benefited a lot due to their openness and the after class activities with them. They would always stay longer after class if you have any questions.
