I stayed at Don Pedro for a month in November, 2011. I came with minimal spanish I was very pleased with my progress over the course of a month. Everything was well organized - the homestay, airport pick-up, weekly dinners and afternoon activities. The school is set in a charming courtyard/garden which I far enjoyed far more than a classroom.... More

I am somewhat of a language buff and have tried to learn many languages by many different methods. Learning Spanish in Don Pedro de Alvarado in Antigua was one of my best experience I ever had in this field. This was my third time in Guatemala to work on my Spanish. This time I stayed for 8 weeks and studied... More

Based on the good reviews in TripAdvisor we chose Don Pedro and spent three weeks studying there last month and weren't disappointed. As many reviewers point out the school is in a lovely outdoor courtyard so you study in a beautiful setting. My “classroom” was under a sun umbrella beneath a huge avacado tree loaded with fruit! It did get... More

I was a single female traveller passing through Antigua and had the most wonderful time studying with Naty @ Don Pedro de Alvarado. She was an amazing teacher, helping me focus on the finer points of grammar to improve my skills. I loved chatting in the morning at the beginning of class about life and the culture around Antigua. She... More

Before traveling to Antigua to study Spanish I looked at different sites that rate the quality of the schools there. Without a doubt this school had the best ratings, so I went for the first time last year. I enjoyed my experience so much that I'm here in Antigua in the school again as I write this. I highly recommend... More

I have returned to Don Pedro five times. I was a beginner when I started. I can now have a conversation. The school works hard to ensure the students have a good time. More

I would thoroughly recommend this language school to anyone wishing to study Spanish. Now only does it offer a course tailored to your specific needs, it does so with great care and patience. You will also get pulled into the ambiance of the place and the people will welcome you to parties, dances, meals and special trips of interest. The... More
