Enjoyable Tour
It’s a very enjoyable tour, especially for a solo traveller. Visiting beautiful sceneries such as Durdle Door, University of Oxford and Landmarks of London are really good for a foreigner who want to know more about the life in UK. Happy to make new friends with different native background. We have a lot of opportunities to speak English during meal time and games time. Thank you so much to Garry and Elena who arrange such a wonderful journey. Hope to join the tour holding at Edinburgh in the future.
這是一個讓你親身體會英國本地人生活的旅程。除了遊覽各種不同的美景,還有很多會話的機會。對單身旅行客,或想體驗文化差異的樂趣,這會是一個不錯的選擇!
Perfect idea to connect learning English and exploring
What's the brilliant idea to connect learning English with spending time in nature. In the fresh air our minds are open even to think in English. Garry and his wife Jelena are really kind, open-minded and patient persons that's why it was a pleasure to be their guest. For me it was a great active time, stunning experience and for sure I can't wait for the next English courses with them or with other teachers. This course is just for people who like spending time in fresh air, hiking, playing games and learning English without any special program like at school 😊🌟🌞

I saw many places in England 😍
I saw many places in England that I never heard about. I was very surprised how much I enjoyed this. Usually I’m very shy but I felt comfortable talking to Garry and my new friends. I want to join again! :)

Garry and Elena are travel freaks (in a good way, of course). It’s so interesting to travel with them because they have unusual stories to tell.
Al Fresco is a good way to improve your English and get beautiful travel experience.
It was a very interesting experience
It was a very interesting experience. Learning combined with sightseeing is a great solution. This trip allowed me to open up to the conversation. I met wonderful people from all over the world. Garry and Elena are wonderful and hospitable people. Garry was great at organizing time and Elena was a great cook. It was a great time and I recommend it to anyone who wants to break the language barrier.
The best experience
Garry gave me all the support, the accommodation was amazing, Elena was the best cook haha and all the tours were in amazing places. It really is the kind of experience and immersion that I recommend to everyone, I intend to do the course again in the next city 😁
It was a very interesting experience!
It was a very interesting experience! Impossible not to love Harry and Elena. The trip to Poland was like another small world, I have many fond memories. If you are thinking about going or not, stop thinking, just do it! Wholeheartedly recommend ♥️
I would highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning English in a fun, engaging, and truly immersive environment
Hi! I am Dana from Kazakhstan. I had the pleasure of attending this English course at the end of November 2022 in Italy, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The course was arranged as a full immersion program, where our group lived together for five days and explored the beautiful mountains and forests while learning English.
The experience was simply incredible. Garry is knowledgeable, patient, and always available to help us with any questions or challenges we faced. But what really stood out to me was the immersive nature of the course.
I had a splendid time

I had a splendid time! It was really fun to speak English while we were hiking or visiting famous sites. Would recommend it any day of the week!
Great Time with Great Friends
Firstly, it was a fun experience in Antalya. Garry and his girlfriend hosted us nicely and friendly. The idea of improving our English skills through sightseeing, exploring, playing games and while doing daily activities was tempting and it turned out to be working. He took us to the beautiful landmarks of Antalya and travelled a lot. Since he has a good command of English and teaching skills, we learnt a lot from him while having fun. I hit it off with other participants and became friends. I recommend Garry and his speak-holiday course to anyone who would like to enhance their English speaking skill and have a whale of a time. Cheers!
Very warm experience
Very warm experience. If you would like to be exposed to english in a fun way. That is a great opportunity and experience to join English Al Fresco course.
So friendly and cozy
It was much more than I expected ! Living in Victorian house with friendly atmosphere and fireplace, Garry and Elena made my trip unforgettable 😍 We went for hikes every day, explored the city and the village and had a lot of fun playing board games. The breakfasts and dinners Elena makes are really good too, and we enjoyed them all together, as a family 😃
My experience has been incredible.

Thanks to Garry, I’ve had the opportunity to see many wonderful places and in the same time know new things and learn new words. Garry and his wife were kindly and approachable.
Adorable y segura.
It was an excellent idea to get to know London and its surroundings, and practice English. The hosts are adorable, they always make you feel very safe and welcome.
La disponibilidad, acogida y dulzura de Elena y Garry, te hacen sentir casi como si estuvieras en casa. Es una excelente forma para practicar y medir tú nivel conversacional de Inglés.
Around England
I spent a wonderful days in England with a lovely people!
È stata una spedita esperienza, un modo diverso per visitare posti insoliti rispetto il solito e parlando inglese 😊
