About
The only walled city in Mexico and which has been recognized as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO since 1999. This pedestrian tour is a door to a deep understanding of the viceregal architecture and the rich cultural heritage of Campeche.
Walk the iconic streets, where every building and every corner tells a story of bygone eras. The churches you will find along the way are not only monuments of architectural beauty, but also time capsules that reveal aspects of the religious and social life of the colonial era.
By exploring the fortress of the bastions, you will understand the strategic importance of Campeche in the history of Mexico. These structures are not only remnants of military architecture, but also guardians of the stories of resistance and defense against pirate attacks.
The tour is enriched by the fascinating world of pirate legends, offering a unique insight into the maritime history of the region.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- jhollar0 contributionsGreat tour and guideJose was a fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. We were fortunate to end our tour at Hacienda Uayamon (an unbelievably beautiful and interesting place) and he was highly knowledgeable about the history of that property, as well as of the Edzna archaeological zone.Written 14 February 2025
- Footprintz19960 contributionsTren Maya Campeche StationThe train station is located ~30 min from the historic town of Campeche. Upon arrival there is a SUD local bus waiting outside to take you into town. The price per person is 50 pesos. There is limited room for luggage in the back of the bus. The bus drops you off near the outerwall of the historic center. Then you are on your own to get a taxi. Seats fill quickly. To get to and from town by taxi it costs about 250 pesos. However, you need to call one to come pick you up. Easier is to take the bus to town. The station is complete and has two convinience stores for buying snacks. You can buy tickets at the counter(taquilla). Use escalators to go down to the platform. Arrive at least 1hr before your trip.Written 10 May 2024
