What our students say about learning Spanish in Cusco
Real reviews from international students on Google.
I have loved improving my Spanish with Excel in Cusco. My teacher has been excellent and I have learned so much, so quickly! My homestay with a lovely local family, organised by the language centre, has been great too. I have been truly cared for by the wonderful team at Excel - it's been like having family support a long way from home. Muchas gracias, amigas ❤️

Excel was the best possible immersion experience I could have asked for. The teachers and people are amazing, shaping curriculum to match our needs while connecting us with a variety of opportunities and different cultural activities. I could not recommend Excel more!

Excel did a wonderful job curating our experience in Cusco. Our students enjoyed their classes and homestay families. Our excursions were fantastic and incredibly informative. The weekend in the Manu National Forest was a major highlight that was expertly planned down to the smallest of details.
