5.00Both Coatepec and Xico are truly magical towns. Coatepec is a coffee center and a chance to explore both a coffee plantation outside and a coffee house in the city. The town is rich in history and worth your time.
I would repeat it again

5.00I'm missing some quick communication with Amphibian. The tour is personalized and punctual, highly recommended, if you repeat it again, 10/10 our driver Mr. Cipriano. The cost of the tour is worth it. They should advise that the waterfall is optional, outside of that all well.
Great day trip

5.00Great Tour! Long day but worth it! A day trip to Xalapa alone would be great so much to see in that town. Long walk to the waterfall but worth it when you finally arrive not for someone out of shape like me I stayed behind husband did it but it was very rough on him. Tour guide was amazing! Left at 8am got back around 8pm.
Excellent

5.00Private tour which gave us a lot of flexibility. Xico was amazing and the restaurant was the highlight of the tour. Highly recommend, just don’t go when it’s May and over 100 degrees F
Coatepec: friendly and courteous town. Besides beautiful.

5.00The town and its people are wonderful. They could have a better tourist office; There is not enough information about places to visit. The coffee farms, restaurants and other attractions do it on their own. I recommend: Verde café (also sells flowers and plants), El Salto de la Trout, El Mesón de Guadalupe. Lots of coffee, lots of flowers, lots of heat. Bring repellent if you go to Xico.
Strongly Recommend

5.00Our Guide was very helpful, relaxed and knowledgeable. He connected with us and made the hour + drive very enjoyable. He was flexible and helped us find an ATM and where to get some mole at Xico! Great stuff. He was perfect. We did leave our water bottle in the back seat. Dang.
