Venice ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Venice
What our students said about Venice
A crumbling dream, past and yet still visible greatness, a struggle against the decay that is setting in everywhere, a lively, contradictory city with a morbid flair, omnipresent art, marvellous palazzi... the masses of tourists and their sometimes unbelievably bad behaviour must be a nightmare for the Venetians.
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!
The city does a lot to preserve the sights. Unfortunately, this also means that some monuments are not accessible. You also have to like the fact that there are always lots of tourists there.
Venice is a city that has a special aura due to its age. There are an incredible number of impressions to process, but every view is somehow beautiful, so you don't mind.
Venice is very touristy. But if you're there as a student and after a few days you find out where it's REALLY worth going, it's the most beautiful city in the world!
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.
I really like Venice because there is always something new to discover. A city whose history and the present are always interesting.
You have to deal with tourists who are only briefly in the city and essentially see them as a backdrop.
The best thing is the absence of cars. Tourist offices could and should make much more of the fact.
A magical city with a downside: excessive tourism which probably makes the inhabitants grumpy

The welcome and the whole atmosphere are wonderfully friendly, polite, appreciative and relaxed. The teachers are committed and approachable. The alternation of teaching methods is well thought out. The group size is excellent!
Can be recommended with a clear conscience.

I particularly liked the mix between the motivation to talk a lot and the intensity of the grammar teaching. Giulia was a fantastic teacher who showed us that you don't need a dictionary to speak Italian and solve problems. I also found the ‘gite guidate’ through Venezia's history and specialities with Alessandro very enriching. The location of the school is also good, easy to reach and the number of participants was also ideal.
