Some prospects plan to travel before or after the immersion week. Reviewers describe staying on, exploring the city, and getting help with onward travel.
Several reviewers describe staying in Mexico City after the program ended, or planning to return to explore the city. They describe the program’s schedule as full, which left little time to explore during the week. Two reviewers say Fluenz helped them with extra arrangements, such as a driver or a private guide.
Staying On After the Week
Anne H (Palo Alto, California, July 2023) stayed on after the program and hired guides:
“I stayed a few days after the program ended and hired guides to show me sights that we didn’t have time to see during class time.”

She added where to start:
“To get a better picture of the center of town (the Zocalo, etc.,) just ask for a private guide from Fluenz.”

Time Before or After the Program
Cynthia C (Feb 2024 trip, reviewed March 2024, solo) recommended extra time in the city:
“I would definitely book some time before/after the immersion to meander and tour the rest of Mexico City as the program is busy without much time to venture too far and the rest of the city holds so much to enjoy.”
