What past students are saying…

Our first Immersion Trip in 2025 was more than just a trip, it was a shared experience filled with connection, learning, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
Before leaving Guanajuato, we asked our students to reflect on their experience.

Here’s what they shared with us:

“I can honestly say this trip went above and beyond expectations. I had full trust in the team and I loved just allowing the ALM team take control (although I know that’s not for everyone). It’s been more than 15 years since I’ve had a proper holiday just for myself or just with my wife. I cannot express how much this trip meant for me. The love and care provided by the team was exceptional. Especially during periods of emotional difficulties with a number of members of the group. I really hope you do another one.”

— John H.

“The attention to detail was exceptional, it really made the trip extra special. I loved ALL the variety of activities and new experiences. I especially liked the authentic experiences such as; Andrea’s favorites, spiritual, and family/friends. I felt like I was traveling with Andrea’s friends and family and getting a personal tour and invitation to join her family and friends in an intimate setting. It was extremely special 🥰
As a solo traveler and introvert, I never felt left out which I appreciated very much. Thank you! Amazing amazing amazing trip! Muchas gracias!”

— Brandy

“That Mexicans lovveeee to party. They know how to have a good time and are incredibly generous - especially to their guests. For my first ever immersion trip and first ever time in Mexico, I had an absolute blast. Thank you so so much for all of your efforts.”

— Daryl

“This was one of the best travel experiences of my life. The warmth and support from Andrea & Adri and the rest of the team, the bonds we formed with all of the other students, the fun & excitement of learning a new language, and all of the fun and activities combined were really special and something that would be hard to reproduce. I'm sure we'll be able to do it in Oaxaca or somewhere else next year though!”

— Joey

“My key take away is that Andrea and her team are really good at what they do. Not only in the planning of this trip but also seeing how many people she has helped in learning and improving in speaking spanish. I'm grateful to have experienced something like this and Im looking forward to the next one.”

— Eduardo

Our students didn’t just enjoy the trip — they truly loved it. 💛
Every participant said the experience met or exceeded their expectations, and almost all rated it a perfect 10 out of 10!

Most importantly, every single student said they would recommend this Immersion Trip to a friend.

  • Guanajuato is a beautiful and historic city, but it’s important to know that it was not designed with accessibility in mind. The city is known for its narrow streets, cobblestone roads, tunnels, stairs, and frequent ups and downs.

    While there are some flatter areas and accessible spaces, many parts of the city are not wheelchair-friendly. Most of our activities take place in the central area, where walking is the main way to get around, and some museums, restaurants, and public spaces may have steps or uneven surfaces.

    We care deeply about creating an inclusive and supportive experience, and we will always do our best to assist and adapt whenever possible. That said, we strongly encourage anyone with accessibility needs to reach out to us before joining (hola@andrealamexicana.com), so we can have an honest conversation and help determine whether this trip would be a good fit.
