Overview

Feel like a true "campechano"! There are several ways in which you can join the daily life of a campechano, from learning the Mayan slang to drink the local drinks. I invite you to take this Walking Tour, in which you'll do both while visiting the Historic Center of San Francisco de Campeche. During that time, you will visit the colonial streets of this colonial city, but with a huge insight on the details and gossiping of neighbors, legends, the embarrassing details of the churches and temples, ex-prisons and other controversial places of this city with almost 500 years of existence. You'll visit the boardwalk of the city, travel back in time as soon as you cross the Puerta de Mar, re-imagine the city that used to border the beach, visit the Cathedral of the city, learn about underground tunnels, old cinemas, religious Colonial art and the spooky tales of the Mayan region. This is for the people with a love for stories! Oh!... and bring your most comfortable sneakers!

Hector is very knowledgable and fun! He loved to share his city with us and gave us a lot of tips to do around the area as well!

Wonderful Tour of a Beautiful City!

Published on Feb, 2024

Hector is a wonderful guide. We learned so much from him. He's very knowledgeable about Campeche and he has a very engaging personality. The tour was a lot of fun and we thoroughly enjoyed it. He's a fantastic ambassador for his city!

The perfect walking tour by a life long Campechano

Published on Jan, 2024

This is a great way to get to know a little history of the city and to become familiar with Centro. Hector was informative and entertaining as he proudly showed us his city. He also had some great recommendations for restaurants, coffee and bars.

Interesting, very detailed, must do!

Yet another amazing tour, this time with the colonial history of Campeche. 100% recommend doin it, Ricardo was a great guide, spoke fluent English and really made the tour worthwhile! Thank you Ricardo!

Campeche is a very remarkable city with a very interesting history.

Published on Sep, 2023

My guide Ricardo was very knowledgeable and proud of his city Campeche. The complicated and sometimes violent history was clearly explained with the right amount of humour. We visited museums, churches, and pirate strongholds. Architectural highlights were pointed out
