Venice ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Venice
What our students said about Venice
It should be clear to everyone that a big city like Venice is not comparable in price to a small Bavarian town. However, if you don't necessarily stay in the tourist corners, you can still eat cheaply and, above all, well. The Aperol Spritz costs from €3.50 upwards....... Venice is worth a visit!
Germany
Anytime again, although I find the weekly ticket for the vaporetti a bit expensive (65 euros), even if the trip to Murano/Butanol is included.
Germany
You have to deal with tourists who are only briefly in the city and essentially see them as a backdrop.
Germany
The best thing is the absence of cars. Tourist offices could and should make much more of the fact.
Germany
A magical city with a downside: excessive tourism which probably makes the inhabitants grumpy
France
Venice is a really beautiful city full of contrasts. If I can, I will come again.
Germany
Venice is a great city, rich in history, very well organized.
Austria
A beautiful city, but in my opinion a bit fake (artificial).
Switzerland
Lovely city, despite all the tourists.

I enjoyed the lessons very much. In the first week, I was assigned to a course that was too demanding for me because I had joined in the 4th week of the course. In the second week it fitted very well because the course started all over again. At the beginning of the second week I felt rather underchallenged.

I liked the teaching concept with assignment sheets corresponding to the topics discussed (including homework). The Vota "10" is given in any case to the teacher, on whom of course much depends on the overall impression.

Madame Zanutto should be asked to review her shower plumbing: the pressure of the shower is very weak some time, especially when the neighbour takes his at the same time ...
