Whether you're on your own, in a couple or with a few friends, our Cactus Group Holidays are the perfect way to go away and know that you're going to meet like-minded people in a lively and social environment.
These holidays combine learning a language with a fun local activity, such as dance, and are based on a 1-week itinerary with a friendly, bilingual guide, accommodation in a centrally-located 3-star hotel (minimum standard) and a packed schedule of cultural and evening activities. And on top of that, they take place in some of the world's most exciting cities...

Language classes will take place at one of our approved schools and you will receive 20 lessons in total during the week (4 lessons each morning, Mon-Fri). You will sit a short placement test on your first day to ensure you are placed in the correct class according to your level. Course materials are included and all tutors are fully-qualified native speakers who know how to put the fun into language learning at all levels and ages!
|
|
After your morning language classes you will have enough time to relax over lunch or explore some of the city before proceeding to your activity (eg. dance) classes. These classes will take place each afternoon, Mon-Fri, in an appropriate location (eg. professional dance studio for dance classes). You will be taught by qualified, native instructors, and groups will be divided according to level. |
|
As a group you will have a friendly, bilingual guide with you for the entire week. Your guide will:
- greet you upon arrival
- host a welcome meeting on your first evening
- provide a map and detailed local information
- accompany you to your language & activity classes the first couple of days
- make bookings & accompany you to all evening activites
- act as a source of advice & information during your stay

There will be at least one planned activity each day, and in most cases this will be related to the type of activity you've been practising in the day. For example, if you are taking salsa classes you will visit top salsa clubs and perhaps see a flamenco show or take a tango class. There will also always be a meal night, with many of the group meeting for lunch in the day too. |
|
We arrange accommodation for everyone in a comfortable, centrally-located 3 star hotel. All rooms are en suite and breakfast is included. Rooms are shared (twin) but there is an option to pay a single room supplement for those who would like their own privacy. |
