Campeche Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

An amazing tour of Calakmul with Ka’an Expeditions! Lots of wildlife and history and our guide, Manuel, was wonderfully informative throughout the tour. One of the most important sites in Mayan history, so we are glad we had such an amazing guide!

Hector is so sweet, knowledgeable and energetic - great attitude, funny, and fun to hang out with! He's a local and speaks excellent English as well. He's also very passionate about the local area and it's history. Lovely to spend a morning with him!

It was a truly extraordinary experience. Mayu, our guide, accompanied us to discover the Calakmul jungle, telling us with great passion about the archaeology and history of the site, but also the flora and fauna that surround it. An immersive and fascinating experience, which allowed us to get to know Calakmul not only through its ruins, but also through the nature that has guarded them for centuries. Absolutely recommended!

The boat was big and comfortable, the workers kept it clean and explained the rules of the ship before we left . The ride was about an hour long down the coast with great views until we reached out destination . When we stopped they gave us 2 hours or so to snorkel dive , swim , drink and eat . We saw sea turtles and sting rays and tons of fish at the reef while snorkeling . The food was fresh and the drinks were good (they do not cap you on the free alcohol they want you to have fun) , the crew was nice and professional. Would recommend for anyone trying to look for a day trip (we were picked up at 645 am and got back to our hotel around 2pm).

Fun experience, beautiful day on the water. Snorkeling, swimming, sun time, don't forget to bring a towel. I enjoyed our time.

Ricardo was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Campeche and the region. The tour was around 2.5 hours or so.

Hector was a fantastic guide, gave a very interesting tour full of insight

Edzna is a must see and there is no better way than to see it with a local guide. I had an exceptional guide named Hector. His depth of knowledge of the site and the Mayan people was truly impressive and only increased my appreciation of how amazing Edzna is. Hector was a joy to be around and you could really feel the love he has for his history and culture.

This was an amazing experience to be able to fully understand the rich culture and history of Campeche by walking through the city with a local guide. My guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided a lot of insight into Campeche. It felt like you were just walking around town with a friend, a really smart friend.

Was a lovely tour. Berenice the guide was really nice and knowledgeable. Learned a lot from her about the site and the Mayan culture. Great service and would recommend this tour to everyone.

Our tour guide Verinice was excellent. Her knowledge and passion for sharing Campeche and its people history was engrossing.

We had the most amazing time with Berenice and Wilbur ( who drove us to the Edzná Mayan site). They both speak impeccable English and were just lovely people and informative guides. We were picked up at our hotel and when we got to the site had a leasurely walk though to the entrance and enjoyed some bird watching, which continued through the tour which was wonderful as one of our party is a birder. The site was a perfect size for a 2 hour visit. we were able to walk up the structures ( unlike many of the Mayan sites), and we learned so much about the Culture and practices. As we were in essence private group we were able to enjoy a good meal at a town a little outside of Edna. Fantastic fresh fruit and fresh baked corn bread. Finally we were dropped at the bus station to get back to Mérida. They run a travel company Chelita Travel Campeche, and highly recommend booking other tours and travel with them.If back go to the fort and Mayan museum - glorious place for a sunset over the Atlantic.

JC was amazing!!! I could not recommend people enough for this tour. It was an excellent experience and he made it wonderful.

Our guide Wilberth was excellent and very informative. We really enjoyed the day and would highly recommend it Bruce and Tammy

JC and Elsie expertly guided us through the perfect day! Highly recommend!!! We suggest you bring water shoes and waterproof phone bags!

The guide (whose name I could not pronounce) did a fantastic job. It was Christmas Day so I’m sure it was difficult for her. We had a thorough tour of places inside, on and outside the wall. She was very friendly and knowledgeable.
