What our students said about Venice

5.0

Rating: 5/5

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!

Susanne

5.0

Rating: 5/5

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.

Alfred
Germany
5.0

Rating: 5/5

You have to deal with tourists who are only briefly in the city and essentially see them as a backdrop.

Matthias
Germany
5.0

Rating: 5/5

The best thing is the absence of cars. Tourist offices could and should make much more of the fact.

Ursula
Germany

Rating: 5/5

A magical city with a downside: excessive tourism which probably makes the inhabitants grumpy

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.
