We are Héctor and Ricardo, born in Campeche, both local tour guides and history teachers of the city. We'll take you on a two-hour walk to fall in love with the picturesque and colorful architecture of this 500-year-old city. We will walk among the real stories of pirates, the Mayan heritage and many recommendations for local restaurants and drinks :D!

Tour description

Yes we have tours in Spanish! Just send us a message with the number of people and the time you want (those that appear in English) to confirm your reservation. It is important that you do this to check availability :)

Héctor Palí and Ricardo Pinzón are "El Hectourcito" (-ito means small in Spanish... short but very pretty!) and we offer you this Free Walking Tour about the history of this fortified city, San Francisco de Campeche: Mayan civilizations, pirates, gossiping neighbors from colonial times, ancient churches and legends of ghosts and witchcraft.

You will hear gossip at the following stops:
▶️ Sea Gate
▶️ Main Square
▶️ Cathedral
▶️ Sweet Name of Jesus Church
▶️ 59th Street
▶️ Earth Gate


We are tourist guides certified by the Ministry of Tourism, history lovers and two kids excited to "gossip" about our city.

I hope you take the opportunity with us, it is not only about knowing the history of Campeche, but also its people and enjoying making new friends in the southeast of Campeche c:

This was an amazing tour! We had Hector who was fun, passionate and an excellent tour guide. He very kindly ran the tour even though it was just us 3, so we luckily got a private tour. It felt like being guided around by a friend! He showed us all the main areas and had great knowledge about everything. He also gave us tips for local restaurants & bars and even helped us with planning our drive to Bacalar! We had an amazing time and would recommend to everyone. Thank you 😊
