What our students said about Antigua Guatemala
Antigua has already become very touristy. One has noticed the rise in prices (I was there before), especially in restaurants. In the vicinity of Antigua or outside, it is much cheaper. However, there are possibilities to eat somewhere "cheaper" - but it is also nice to have the "comfort". There are many things to do in Antigua, both inside and outside the city (though not during classes, as these are more like half-day or full-day excursions). Everything is within walking distance (SUPER!), otherwise you can quickly take a cheap Uber. As a woman, you are also safe on your own in the evenings. As for the cleanliness: it is rather the air that is not clean. There were some who had respiratory problems (nose is always "full or closed", coughing etc.) - i.e. not recommended for asthmatics (but not a knock-out criteria).
Germany
I gave 5 all around because I personally lacked for nothing. Restaurants, cafés, bars, bakeries and salsa bars abound in the pretty old town. At the market, you could buy everything from A to Z. Expensive fashion clothes aren't really my thing anyway, so I'm absolutely satisfied with the service here too. There are also plenty of excursion options. A great place to learn Spanish and Salsa.
Germany
Antigua is a very relaxed and modern small town with great excursion possibilities, numerous restaurants and small, sometimes extravagant cafés + bars and above all very hospitable locals. The people are so chilled and approachable at all times, you really feel at home and even after dusk you don't have to worry.

There was a Spanish teacher named Sandra who taught us in the pre-intermediate class in a very excellent and professional way. I missed the opportunity to greet her when I left the school. I want to greet her now and thank you very much.
Many thanks to the people in charge of the international office of Maximo Nivel. They are very kind and they helped me a lot, especially thanks to Kelly.

The tandem programme. This enabled me to meet and become friends with local people and English/Spanish language exchange.
Well organised and professional. I feel the partner travel agency could have provided more excursion options for mature travelers (other than biking / hiking). Teaching the first week not as good as the other three weeks which was excellent.
