What people say about Arthur and his courses:

The course was profoundly funny and also very informative. I haven’t laughed so much in ages.

Beautiful, relaxing, fun, friendly. 

Hard to find a person with as much experience as Arthur Smith.​

Listening to Arthur Smith sing Leonard Cohen on the terrace in the moonlight was unforgettable. I had a wonderful time.

So welcoming, so relaxing, will return.
