Bogota ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Bogota
What our students said about Bogota
My own fault but I did not realize it was rainy season, so there wasn't as much walking around as I'd hoped (although I did manage 6 km one day alone!). I felt pretty safe walking around, people were nice. I didn't tackle the bus system. If I could walk I did, otherwise I would grab an occasional uber, which made life easy. I wish I had more time to spend in museums, neighbourhoods, outside of the city. I guess this just means I have to come back. :)
It's an interesting city because of its very welcoming and cheerful people. Life is cheap but of little historical interest to me
It was not my favorite place to visit because it is just too big for me.
A super safe city with above-average friendly and helpful people
I have to go back so many places to see.
Interesting city for learning Spanish.

Most recent student reviews of language schools in Bogota
No idea. In the end I only had 3 days of lessons. Because of a holiday the lessons were crammed into 4 days which means 5 hours of lessons in a row. I couldn't handle that. That's way too much and other students complained about that.

Student age: 71 years
The teachers are very competent and nice
The course material should as a notebook rather than lose piece of paper.

Course: Intensive Spanish - Morning - 1 week
Student age: 58 years
All the teaching, the dynamism of the other students
Keep this age group to maintain a good level, because with the younger players it's less dynamic.

That you feel like one big group of friends within the school
Maybe it would be a great addition if the school could provide a kind of 'basic' course for backpackers/travellers, which they can use during their backpacktour!
