No dejen de visitar este cálido y atractivo pueblo mágico de Xico, en Veracruz. A escasos 40 minutos de Coatepec está Xico, ella cual se viste de fiesta durante todo el mes de julio allá festejar a su Patrona Santa María Magdalena. Todo el mes hay procesión con la imagen de la Santa, a quien llevan a los hogares para el rezo del Santo Rosario. Además, cada familia que recibe las imagen, enmarca el evento con cohetes y reparte café, chocolate, pan, tamales, o lo que puede, entre los asistentes. Días antes de la fiesta grande (22), puede verse en la calle,a personas portando cencerros, vestuario de payasos... El día 19, es el paso de estos grupos, dónde además se unen los toritos que se queman durante las noches de la fiesta. El día 20, pasa el Arco, elaborado con una planta llamada "cucharita", y que llevan alrededor de 200 voluntarios. El día 21,la calle principal está adornada con hermosos tapetes multicolores, elaborados con aserrín pintado. Desde temprana hora se dan cita en la calle cientos de voluntarios, quienes con plantillas, aserrín y amor por su Patrona,, se dan a la tarea de engalanar la calle, por donde pasará la imagen, muy engalanada, por la noche. El día 22, el atractivo será la xiqueñada, con toros que se sueltan en una calle y que son toreados por aficionados debidamente registrados. Por la tarde hay corrida de toros con toreros de cartel. Cabe mencionar que además, hay programa cultural en diversos puntos, tales como la plaza del pueblo, casa de cultura, casa del pueblo y otros lugares. Y,las actividades religiosas en el templo del lugar. Así es que, es una fiesta que pueden disfrutar chicos y grandes y con ambiente familiar.SarahiS35

En lo personal puedo decir que ambos lugares son lindos, muy pintorescos, sin embargo, personalmente Coatepec me pareció un pueblito bonito pero que le falta un poco de inversión turística. Xico por su parte me gusto mucho un lugar muy muy bonito nos toco la feria del mole, por lo cual había mucha vida en el centro, pero desde que empiezas a entrar en sus calles puedes sentir esa magia que tiene el lugar.osesme9

Let me begin this review by saying that our tour guide, Rafael, was WONDFERFUL. He was knowledgeable, kind and a very safe driver. The following is in no way reflective of Rafael’s character. Additionally, Viator is not responsible for what this company has done. That being said, DO NOT TRUST THIS PARTICULAR TOUR COMPANY (MEXITOURS; MARCO POLO OPERADORES SA DE CV)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE DISHONEST, SNEAKY AND GENERALLY UNSCRUPULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE NOT WORTHY OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!!!!! PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE!!!!!!!! I am certain that they will write a counter to this review, but know that my husband and I are VERY honest people who have taken many tours over the course of many years with many different companies, and although we may not have always been completely happy with a tour, we have never had to do this. Let me explain. We called Viator to book a tour that we read about online. The company’s own website lists all of the activities that were to be included on the tour. Viator confirmed the itinerary using the information from the company’s website. We booked the tour for our very last day in Veracruz, Mexico. We were excited about visiting the pueblo magicos and doing the other activities, but the main event for us was that the tour included a visit (3 hours listed) to the Anthropological Museum of Veracruz. We paid for the tour through Viator, and then contacted the tour company to confirm our pick up time AND to confirm that we would be going to the Anthropology museum; BOTH WERE CONFIRMED by Luis Medina, the tour company contact. We were excited to finally be able to visit the museum. The next day we met Rafael, our guide, in the designated location, and we began the tour. When we didn’t go to the Anthropology museum first, we just figured we were going to the other sites first then the museum afterward. We were having a great time. However, around 12:30 pm both my husband and myself thought we needed to ask Rafael about when the Anthropology museum visit would happen. When we did so Rafael was stunned. He showed us written notes from the company stating that we were only doing the pueblo magico part of the tour. He was not aware that the Anthropology museum was a part of this tour BECAUSE THE COMPANY GAVE HIM HIS DIRECTIVE FOR THE DAY. Of course, we politely responded that that was not what was listed on the website nor was that what Luis Medina told us on the phone. We pulled up the website and showed this to Rafael, and he immediately called his office. He then agreed to take us to the museum, but then someone called back from his office and told him that the museum was closed due to a holiday. We are fairly certain that this information was known prior to us booking this tour and being told that we were going to the Anthropology museum. Rafael did not stop there. He called the actual museum several times to see if it was really closed. It was in fact closed. He apologized over and over again for everything that was happening. AGAIN, THIS WAS IN NO WAY RAFAEL’S FAULT. At that point, we told Rafael that someone in his company was very dishonest, and that they would hear from us the next day. We continued on with the tour because at that point the day was half done. Rafael took us to a few other places that we found out later were not on that normal tour circuit. Perhaps this was to try to make up for the missed Anthropology museum visit; we don’t know. Again, they were wonderful places to visit, BUT THEY WERE NOT THE ANTHROPOLOGY MUSEUM. We ended the day having had fun, but being greatly disappointed that we were not able to see the Anthropology museum. The next day we sent a note to the company rep, Luis Medina and then immediately called the office. We were asking for a partial refund of the money we paid since the tour did not offer us what was advertised. He repeatedly stated that we were offered an alternative, but NO WE WERE NOT OFFERED AN ALTERNATIVE. We didn’t have a choice- the museum was closed due to a holiday (that we are sure they had to have known about), and we were halfway through the day on the tour that we were MADE to take without knowledge of the exact locations we were going to visit because the website listed something different. Luis Medina informed us that his company could not authorize any type of refund. He told us to contact Viator. We did just that after traveling back home the next day. Upon calling, we were told by Viator that this tour company had contacted them already and offered their version of what happened. Needless to say, this version was not what actually happened. Viator listened to our complaint and then contacted the tour company to request some type of refund. They responded to us in an email several days later saying that the company would refund $6 usd for the museum entrance ($3 for each of us). Now, the money is really not the point here. What is important is the fact that this company advertised (falsely) a tour that was supposed to take place, confirmed that the itinerary was as stated on their own website, and they did not provide that service. Dishonesty in their advertising, unscrupulous business practices of confirming something that they knew what incorrect, and working hard to get ahead of a customer to make a false claim about what we were going to make a complaint about is absolutely, positively unacceptable from any company that is worthy of a good reputation. AGAIN, WE CONCLUDE AS WE BEGAN- DO NOT TRUST THIS TOUR COMPANY!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE NOT WORTHY OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!!!!! PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE!!!!!!!!
