“SIMPLY THE BEST. Beyond the instruction, the Fluenz experience was first class in every detail. There were mind blowing surprises throughout the week which were unmatched to any experience I’ve had before. We had the opportunity to dine at one of the top restaurants in the World, hear an immensely entertaining playwright and have a private tour of an important museum after hours.”
