Best experience ever
August 14, 2026by: Sofia Bertoli - ItalyProgram: Young Adults Summer Program in Spain
I spent two weeks of July in Barcelona with Expanish School and it was one of the best experiences of my life. In two weeks I learned a lot thanks to the teachers and the trips we did during the week and in the weekends. I got to know some amazing people that became my friends and with them I shared this magnificent experience. My host family was so lovely, they immediately made me feel comfortable and at home. Now that my experience has finished I find myself thinking about the days spent in Barcelona with Expanish. I already recommended the school to my friends because I think it is really really valid.

¡Hola, Sofia! What a beautiful review to read — thank you! :) We're so happy your two weeks in Barcelona turned into one of the best experiences of your life! It's wonderful that you learned so much thanks to our teachers and all the trips along the way, and even better that you made friends who shared it all with you. Hearing that your host family made you feel so at home too just makes this even more special. Thank you for already recommending us to your friends — that truly means so much to us. We hope to welcome you back to Expanish soon! ¡Un fuerte abrazo!
I really enjoyed the way the programme let me explore the city while learning a lot about the culture and language
August 13, 2026by: Teodor Dorobisz - PolandProgram: Young Adults Summer Program in Spain
My host family was amazing, the teacher was very nice and helpful and I could learn a lot. The activities were fun and were helping me learn more about the place and the culture. Unfortunately not many people my age were attending them but they were still very fun
¡Hola, Teodor! Thank you for sharing this with us! :) We're so glad the program let you dive into the city, culture, and language all at once — and it's wonderful to hear your host family and teacher made such a positive impact on your experience. We're happy the activities added to that too, and we hear you on wanting more people your age around — we'll keep working on bringing in a wider crowd! Thanks again for choosing Expanish — hope to see you again soon! ¡Un fuerte abrazo!
The classes are so interesting
June 10, 2026by: Chelsea B - United StatesThis program has been one of the best experiences of my life. The people were intelligent, polite, thoughtful and all around amazing. The classes were challenging and so interesting. I felt I was getting a great preview of college life, and dreaded it ending!
The best weeks of my life
June 06, 2026by: Sam W - United StatesThe weeks I spent at the Cambridge Scholars' Programme were the best weeks of my life. No questions asked. I love all the people I met like they were my family, and we acted like it. I have never laughed, danced, hugged, selfied, walked, photographed or cheered anywhere more in my life. My time in Cambridge was incredible. Thank you so much. Before we even finished we were planning a reunion!
A model study abroad program
December 17, 2025by: Blakeney VasquezArco's pre-program communication was impeccable. There were regular updates at just the right time with plenty of information. I was always informed. Arcos should be a model for every study abroad program. My high schooler's Spanish increased. We appreciated the eye-opening excursions and cultural activities that exposed Aden to Coast Rican life and its people. Definitely a life changing program. Come ready to try delicious food and make new friends.
Its worth participating
December 15, 2025by: Francisca OwheruoProgram: Spanish Immersion in Granada, Spain
My high school child went on the program in Granada, Spain with Arcos. The highlights were gaining a greater knowledge of the Spanish language and culture, getting to meet new people, and spending time with the homestay. It's worth participating. They will have fun!
Lots of fun activities
December 12, 2025by: Laura CallenThe greatest benefits of the program were the cultural exchange with Costa Rican people (especially the homestay family, kids at the school and residents of Atenas), sense of independence and confidence, resilience from navigating challenging situations, improved Spanish, exploration of a new place, food, and lots of fun activities.
Very accommodating program
December 08, 2025by: Alida AndersonArcos provides extensive communication and support with the service details. It was a great experience! My son loved the journey! The program was very accommodating. He enjoyed joining the gym in Atenas and especially loved painting the school and interacting with the students for his community service project.
A wonderful learning experience
December 03, 2025by: Hannah MerrimanProgram: Camino de Santiago: Hiking the Way in Galicia, Spain
The Arcos director Helder was wonderful! We met him at the airport. The kids pushed themselves on the Camino de Santiago hike and felt a great sense of accomplishment and camaraderie when it was complete. It was their first time in Europe so that added a lot of learning. They felt a sense of community with the other walkers, and bonded with the small group. Trust your kids, let them have an experience.
Amazing trip!
December 02, 2025by: Jennifer ShermanProgram: Community Service & Spanish in Lima
The greatest benefits of my daughter's program in Peru were learning about another culture and gaining independence traveling abroad. Pay attention to documents sent to you from Arcos prior to the program as you will find them helpful for preparing. Amazing trip!
Great experience
November 24, 2025by: Constantinos StratosProgram: Camino de Santiago: Hiking the Way in Galicia, Spain
My son loved gaining independence, the opportunity to interact with others and the combination of walking, sightseeing, and education. Because of this great experience I am looking into finding similar programs in other European countries for my son next summer.
Go for it!
November 13, 2025by: Alyson MarchenaProgram: Spanish Immersion in Granada, Spain
The Arcos Journeys Abroad program offered my daughter an amazing and safe opportunity to immerse herself in the culture of Granada, Spain. As a parent, I felt completely secure with her traveling abroad. I highly recommend this experience for your high schooler!
Cultural immersion and Spanish confidence
November 11, 2025by: Susan CianfraniProgram: Spanish Immersion in Granada, Spain
The Arcos communication and updates were excellent. The greatest benefits for my son were the cultural immersion and increased confidence in speaking Spanish. The pre-departure documents were excellent. I suggest setting up an international phone plan ahead of time.
Amazing experience
October 30, 2025by: Jennifer CochranThe communication with Arcos Journeys Abroad was fantastic. My son appreciated the Costa Rican culture and autonomy he was afforded in the small town of Atenas. I encourage you to give your child the experience living with a host family - it’s such an amazing experience.
Do it!
October 29, 2025by: Greg HillProgram: Spanish Immersion in Granada, Spain
The highlights were probably the sense of independence and adventure. The Spanish language learning component was very positive. The trip leaders were excellent communicators and everything was highly organized. My recommendation is to do it! This is a good option for Spanish immersion in Spain.
A great program for teens!
October 25, 2025by: Stefanie TrenchardProgram: Spanish Immersion in Granada, Spain
Arcos did a great job with explaining everything as well as providing a packing list and confirmation of safe arrival in Spain. It’s a great program for teens to have a true immersion experience. Through this program, my son acquired a desire to travel abroad more, an appreciation for different cultures and customs, and enjoyed the opportunity of living in a new city.
Wonderful experience
October 23, 2025by: David CallenThis Arcos trip was a wonderful experience! Highlights included the intentional free downtime, allowing my daughter to explore a safe, relaxed town and immerse herself in the local culture where English was not prevalent. She loved surfing and her host family was amazing. We would absolutely consider another Arcos journey!
Take advantage of this opportunity!
October 22, 2025by: Cortney GeorgeProgram: Spanish Immersion in Granada, Spain
My son loved his experience and his host mom, Ana! We feel really fortunate that he was able to have this experience with Arcos. We have many positive things to say about the program: Spanish immersion, life experience, confidence, and the relationship with the host mom. Take advantage of this opportunity if you can! We felt really confident about my son's safety and the organization of the trip.
Exposure to a new culture
October 20, 2025by: Patrick WalshEverything went extremely smoothly on my son's program in Peru with his teacher and classmates from York Prep. The greatest benefits were exposure to a new culture, camaraderie with classmates, teachers and host family. The pre-departure documents provided were excellent as well. Thank you Arcos!
Gained confidence
October 11, 2025by: Stephanie StevensProgram: Camino de Santiago: Hiking the Way in Galicia, Spain
My daughter did the Camino de Santiago hiking program with Arcos and gained so much confidence in meeting and talking with other pilgrims along the way. My advice is to make sure your child trains for the walking prior to the program. Another added benefit was the increased confidence in her Spanish speaking skills.
