“Overall is good. I recommend it.”
“Saturday trips not worthy.
In Bath you will not see the main attraction, the Roman Baths.
In London, just big ben and Hyde park. We could have seen lots more interesting things.
Cardiff, Its nothing special.
Stonehenge, just 10 min there and with no information of what we were about to see.
They could plan the trips better and give more information to the students to make it more interesting.”

They have 17-year-olds on adult courses and the number of people that age depends on the time of year but if you wish to attend the course during summer there will be more younger students on adult courses.
