If you're discovering Valladolid, Chichen Itza, Izamal, and Merida... don't miss the chance of a lovely morning/evening here. We are Hector and Ricardo, born and raised in Campeche, both local tour guides and city history professors. We will take you on a two-hour walk for you to fall in love with the picturesque and colorful architecture of this 500-year-old city. We'll walk among the real stories of pirates, Mayan heritage, and many recommendations for local restaurants and drinks! You'll discover so much more than a 'script.'

Hektor is a very kind, generous and competent person. The whole group would have followed him anywhere and the whole day, as he knows all about Campeche, history, restaurants, people. We are so happy having had the opportunity to join the tour with him and will always have a good memory of him and his love to Campeche. Thanks so much and suerte Hector.

“Hector, you succeeded , I am now 100% Campechana ! ”

Hector’s love for this amazing place is utterly infectious. With clear distinct pronunciations of English, Spanish and Mayan he delivered a strolling love letter full of history, culture, humor and fun to our very diverse walking tour group. Highlighting many of the special places inside the walled city the story of Campeche and its people unfolded. I absorbed so much information because his delivery was so charming I didn’t want to miss a single word. I can’t wait to keep exploring all that beautiful Campeche has to offer. Don’t miss this tour. Ma’alob’, gracias and thank you Hector !

“Hectourcito should not be missed”

Hector was informative, educated and enthusiastic about his city. He is a university professor and. his English is great. He recommended some great experiences in Campeche and beyond. Did not ask for a specific amount in tips which incentivized me to give him more. Tip generously as Hector is worth every peso.

Hector is an English professor for his day job, so his English was flawless. He loves his city of birth and it shows. We learned a lot about Campeche, its history, geography and its best eateries. We now have the context to further explore on our own. A+ experience.

Hector is a great guide. He loves his city and this is reflected in his stories about individual buildings or shops. I would book a tour with Hector again any time.

“1000x better than google or a guidebook!”

Absolutely fantastic tour with Hector today - we learned so much more that we could ever get from google or a guidebook. This is not your standard "names and dates" tour, you will learn a LOT about so many different aspects of life, culture and history in this city, and in the region. Hector is a fantastic guide with soooo much knowledge and we have more love for Campeche now. I really recommend beginning your stay in Campeche with this tour, but even if the timing doesnt work out for the start, do not miss it while you're here! Strongly recommend. Thanks a million Hector!

We did the Campeche walking tour with Hector, and from start to finish we enjoyed the experience. Hectors love for Campeche is evident in his pride in showing us his special city.

“Great tour”

When we met Hector we immedately felt at ease with him. And since he is a teacher in history and English language we found in him the perfect combination of knowledge and tranfer of information. He not only taught us valuable historical, cultural and religious facts about the city of Campeche and its (early) inhabitants in and admirable enthousiastic way, but also about the Mayan food and language. In other words, it was a perfect experience for us. Hector for president! :-)

“Amazing guide”

Hector was an amazing guide, I loved all of his recommendations (most of them being about local food and restaurants) and he gave us a little bit of insight about the city. Also, we had the feeling that he was really honest, telling us the „public“ story and telling us the „true“ story about some things. He‘s also really good with history, no wonder, after all he teaches history in the university. So all in all one of the best tours I‘ve had so far, and I‘ve probably seen 50 or 60 in my life already.

“Wonderful morning ”

Hector is soooooo cute! We had a great time with Hector touring Campeche. He is very knowledgeable but doesn’t bore you with too many details. He is a teacher so certainly could ????. If you want to know more he will be able to tell you what you would like to hear. I loved his little anecdotes and personal perspectives. I also like to hear retelling of his grandpas racy advice. You won’t regret the 2-3 hours with Hector.
