My family was perfect! The house, the food, the family. I enjoyed my 3 weeks so much. I learned a lot and made so many friends. I did lots of debates in lessons and they were so fun! I will be recommending Apollo to my friends.

The staff and teachers listen to students requests, it’s awesome. The activities are so good and the host family has been very nice and my room is really comfortable. Good trips, I was never bored.

I will never forget my teachers from this trip, thanks to them I like English even more. My host family really helped to improve my English when we talked every evening. The dinners were tasty too (lovely potatoes). I’m going to miss all you guys.
