    Educational and fun experience!

    I studied at the school for several weeks and had an excellent experience. My highlight was being surprised with a great cake on my birthday!, but in addition: - punctual, friendly and organised teachers with relevant learning material - clean and quiet rooms for studying - the opportunity to meet other students during the mid-morning pause, as well as enjoy refreshments such as coffee and snacks. Overall I have made substantial progress during my time studying at the school.

    Response from the operator: Dear Dominic, Thank you so much for your kind words, great review and appreciation of the details. We're thrilled to read that you had such a positive and productive time at Ailola Quito. It was our pleasure to celebrate your birthday with you, and we're delighted that you enjoyed your time here! It's wonderful to know that our team, facilities, and overall environment contributed to your learning and enjoyment. We strive to create a welcoming and supportive learning environment for our students. We're especially happy to hear that you made substantial progress in your Spanish studies. That's what it's all about! Thank you again for choosing Ailola Quito to learn Spanish, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Best regards, Ailola Quito Team

    Personalized Lesson led to muy bien resultó!

    My teacher was willing to learn about the student and use the knowledge of the student to teach in the way that supports the students better. The price is a lot better than in Colombia and México city. The private lesson was even cheaper than the big group lessons in other places. And we improved very fast with the teacher’s personalized lessons. The school is caring and responsible. Highly recommended!

    Response from the operator: ¡Hola Harry! Thank you for sharing your experience with the program to learn Spanish at Ailola Quito and for recommending us. Also for appreciating the details, the quality of service and attention of our staff and for giving an insight to future students about what you liked the most. Furthermore, thank you so much for your preference. We are happy to read how well you felt accompanied and that you found great value in our Spanish programs. We hope you come back in the near future to visit us and to experience more of our locations in Ecuador. We send best wishes for you and for your family from South America, The Ailola Quito Team

    Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.

    How much does Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito cost?

    +

    Prices start at $339 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.

    Is Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Quito?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Quito?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Quito?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito?

    +

    Included: Personalized assistance to help you find volunteering projects in Ecuador; Textbook, notebook and photocopies; Ailola Lingua Certificate upon completion for each participant; Free afterschool cultural activities; and Ailola Quito Welcome Pack. Not included: $40 one-time registration fee; and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Quito. Be ready about 1440 minutes before the start time.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito?

    +

    Is Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Spanish Course at Ailola Quito if the weather is bad?
