Hello, and thank you for your interest! I'm Héctor, and I'm probably the shortest, most enthusiastic licensed guide and interpreter in the city of Campeche. I have been working as a tour guide since 2019 throughout the whole Yucatan Peninsula, and currently being based in San Francisco de Campeche, I offer cultural tours and immersive experiences designed for guests seeking more than just sightseeing. I'm also a professor at the University of Campeche, so you may understand my passion for teaching and, most importantly, to share all about my city and its wonders. Campeche is a wonderful hidden gem in Mexico: the perfect mix of calm spots for sunset photographing, colorful Colonial pastel-painted facades and a sense of quietness, all bundled up with our Mayan heritage and modern-life Mexican experiences. I believe in unique adventures that add a thread in the weave of life. I have been travelling to many parts of the world, and nevertheless, I truly feel a strong connection with my own birthplace. I understand how travelling changes people's lives, and it's now it's within my hands to offer it to anyone willing to listen, feel and embrace. I myself am specialized in Mayan culture and UNESCO heritage, Mexican history and food experiences for all ages. My main goal is to make my visitors feel like "campechanos", locals spending time with a good friend. Whether you feel like taking a walking trip into the UNESCO-protected downtown in the city, a four-hour getaway to the Mayan ruins of Edzná (with a bit of traditional pastries!) or being involved with local artisans within their own homes, I hope you get to experience it all through my eyes and senses. So, if you're looking for a cultural or natural experience that offers depth, authenticity, and insight, I would be delighted to assist you during your stay in Campeche.

Overview of your Campeche tour

There are many ways to feel like a true "campechano"! Explore the center of San Francisco de Campeche with a certified local guide who’ll share the legends, secrets, and fun “chisme” of this nearly 500-year-old city. We’ll wander through the colonial streets of the Historic Center, uncovering stories of neighbors, temples, old cinemas, gold-covered altarpieces, and elegant XVII-century mansions. Once we pass the Puerta de Mar, it’ll feel like travelling back in time: walking along the old ocean edge, visiting the main square, the Cathedral, and learning about secret tunnels and iconic spots that shaped Campeche’s past. You’ll also enjoy a refreshing local agua fresca and plenty of perfect photo moments. For the daylight tour, wear comfy shoes and a cap; we provide umbrellas. Evening tours offer beautiful sunsets, lighting up the historic facades
