Goodmorning,

I would like to get some information about a travel in Cambridge. I would like to go in Cambridge for 3 weeks for learning English. I'm B1 level and I want to improve conversations in English like the verb tenses. I would like to get information about the travel, for example the cost or duration of the travel.

Thanks,

Alessandro Calabrò
