Embark on the ultimate walking tour of San Francisco de Campeche! Join our knowledgeable local guides as they unveil this vibrant, tranquil city's hidden wonders and rich culture. Take advantage of this unforgettable experience.
El Hectourcito Tour Guides offers this unique experience in the coastal city of San Francisco de Campeche, a hidden treasure within the Yucatan Peninsula. 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.' Be curious and ask Hector or Ricardo all your questions related to Mexican culture and traditions. In this tour, besides walking along the cobbled streets, you'll have the chance to get inside ancient XVIII-century mansions and even local restos that offer you a broader understanding of the city.
