No puedo valorar Prize English como centro de enseñanza pero sí puedo valorar la eficiencia del responsable de viajes. En una semana me ayudó a organizar un viaje de estudios Erasmus +. Gracias por su ayuda. Además, quisiera comentar que me he llevado una muy grata experiencia con Pilgrims, en Canterbury (UK). Gracias.
