Authentic Traveler Insights

One reviewer shared, “Because no message was sent to the instructor about booking, no one was there at the beginning, but I was able to reach him by phone and he was there in 20 minutes.” Despite a small hiccup, the instructor’s quick response and warm apology kept the experience positive. The reviewer called the course “wonderful” and appreciated the challenging yet fun nature of the lesson, emphasizing the trainer’s skill in making sure each person was engaged and improving.
