  :: Your Feedback - Mendoza, Biarritz & Boston


"I chose Cactus because you ran a French & Surfing course in December. Biarritz is a very nice town, with lovely beaches and good facilities. I stayed with a host family and they were excellent - very friendly plus excellent food. The location couldn't have been more convenient, close to the town centre, beaches and bus stop, and in
a nice old fashioned shopping area."


"Generally it was all very good. I
liked Mendoza as everything was
very accessible. The accommodation was fantastic - my host family
were great and they were very welcoming throughout my time
there. I think I most enjoyed
visiting the various wineries
around the Mendoza area."


"Altogether this was a priceless and wonderful experience and the trip was in every way a complete success. I met many nice people from all over the world, lived in a family I felt comfortable with (like I was their own daughter), had a wonderful teacher, learned a lot and had the chance to discover the beautiful city of Boston. I'll never forget it."
