Cracow ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Cracow
What our students said about Cracow
I fell in love with the city. I lived directly on the Planty around the Old Town and let myself be enchanted every day anew by the charm and beauty of the Old Town. The Rynek, the Wawel Castle, Kazimierz - but also the trams - did it for me. There are also many great second-hand shops. Cheap and colourful, like in London. The people are relaxed and friendly.

Tramline outside language school under reconstruction, so necessary to use the less convenient (free) buses to get to/ from town centre. Noise at times caused by construction work

The fact that the teachers were different every day was pretty cool, each with their own personality and methods.

The teachers are committed and competent. The placement within the groups worked really well. My class consisted of five people and we fit together very well. I learned a lot in the short time and enjoyed the friendly, family atmosphere. Our teacher Sylwia had an answer to every question and lots of great tips for places to see in Krakow. I can highly recommend the school.
