We set out to do an all-inclusive, private tour of all activities we love - canyoning, rappelling, biking, caving, etc. EXXI provided us the flexibility to do it all. It was one of the greatest adventures we've ever had, and all thanks to the wonderful Service provided by the EXXI Team. We began our adventure by getting in touch with Mariana through whatsapp. She walked us through the logistics, and was very understanding of our preferences. In the end she put together a tailor-made package that sounded amazing. Carlos took over upon our arrival, took the necessary measures to ensure everyone was safe regarding COVID-19, and guided us through 7 days of intense fun. We did so many things I can't even name them all, but some highlights were Canyoning in Sierra Gorda, zip Lining in the red tailed Eagle Canyon, and horseback riding in the desert. Every day brought an unforgettable experience, which was complemented by delicious meals in quite comfortable hotels. Altogether a fantastic adventure that we will surely repeat one day. Thank you so much to the EXXI Team for providing us with this opportunity.

If you book directly in their page, you need to make sure an email confirmation is sent to you. Big watch out as the page accepts payments and no email is sent. I had to argue for an hour with the payment done. In a second visit, because they are the only tour, I had another bad experience, i paid a 900 pesos tour, visiting 5 locations in 5 hours, during the tour they informed that the tour was only 3 locations, and since I booked via Hotel Rio they cannot do anything about it, off course they never paid back the difference. I do not reccomend this, tricky site, tricky staff.

Dora was an excellent and accommodating guide. She was aware of the aspects that we would find most interesting and was obviously very familiar with the area and navigating the site and the staff who were at the site. We enjoyed Dora's guiding so much, we asked her to take us somewhere else the next day!

This was a beautiful area of Mexico. We would have enjoyed it a whole lot more if it had been in English as we had been told. Signed up for an English guide and got a guide who only spoke Spanish. AND it was not just us, though in the description it says it is privare. If you plan to go, be sure you are informed in advance what to expect. You will walk over slippery paths and through sometimes thigh-high rapids. You will want water shoes and maybe a change of clothes. We weren’t given any of this information when we signed up. The night before, we were told the tour would be leaving at 6:45 instead of 8 and asked if we had water shoes... a little late!
