EXCELLENT Based on 140 reviews Posted on Cristina AntonacTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bilo je stvarno lijepo iskustvo. Odličan način za posjetiti London, usput vježbati engleski izgovor i vidjeti okolna mjesta kao što su nacionalni park New Forest i Oxford.Posted on Michela ZandonaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience with English Al Fresco has been positive and I would recommend it to someone who wants to spend a long weekend while speaking English and visiting amazing places in the UK. I chose London for the month of June. I travelled on my own then I was lucky to meet a nice group of people to share the experience with. Reaching the town of Reading was really easy and, at the same time, it is very easy to reach London from Reading, if you want to spend more days there. English Al Fresco’s house is located in Shienfield, a nice village where is possible to take quiet walks before or after a day spent with the group.Posted on Nadia De LorenzoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Esperienza fantastica! Abbiamo soggiornato in un piccolo villaggio scozzese ed è stato meraviglioso svegliarsi con il canto degli uccellini e fare una passeggiata mattutina in mezzo ai giardini, pieni di fiori e prati verdissimi con le pecore, una vera immersione nel cuore della Scozia! Le stanze sono confortevoli (portate un adattatore per le prese), la colazione è tipica inglese dolce e salata, l’organizzazione è perfetta. Non sono le solite lezioni, ma è una possibilità di conversare in inglese in un gruppo piccolo, imparare i modi di dire dei madrelingua, fare delle passeggiate nei boschi, visitare i castelli scozzesi e Edimburgo. Ringrazio di cuore Garry, sempre pronto a dare una mano sia per l’inglese che per qualsiasi domanda organizzativa, Daniella, una ragazza simpaticissima e Ann!Posted on Clara DomènechTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gran experiència a Escòcia amb English al Fresco. Han sigut uns dies magnífics amb activitats divertides, paisatges espectaculars, cultura, gastronomia i una immersió total amb l'anglès que m'ha permès millorar la llengua. Els professors son excel•lents i et faciliten una estada acollidora i còmoda. Recomano l'experiència 100%.Posted on Viktoria LekhTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking to improve your English, English Al Fresco offers a well-rounded, enriching program that will exceed your expectations. I recently completed an English course with Garry in Edinburgh, and I highly recommend it. The accommodations provided were exceptional. We stayed in a very beautiful house that looked like a scene from an Agatha Christie movie. One of the highlights of the course was the variety of excursions included. These outings were not only educational but also incredibly fun and memorable. I will never forget swimming in the mountain lake and rolling down the hill. I left the course not only with improved English skills but also with new friends and unforgettable experiences. I am looking forward to joining other adventures with English Al Fresco.Posted on Silvie P.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
