Description

Hop into the heart of Mérida’s magic on the Official Turibus Sightseeing Tour! Hop on one of our splendid double-decker buses and soak in stunning panoramic views as you glide through the “White City.” It’s the coolest and most unique way to explore Mérida’s most iconic spots.

During the tour, you’ll travel through the city’s main avenues, parks, and monuments, everything that makes Mérida special. The full ride lasts about 1 hour, and you can choose between two amazing Turibus circuits: *North Circuit: Explore the Historic Center, Paseo Montejo, Monumento a la Patria, Parque Las Américas, and more. -Barrios Circuit: Discover the charm of San Juan, La Ermita, Santa Ana, Av. Itzaes and other traditional neighborhoods. So sit back, relax… and enjoy the ride!

I was told there was one only route the other was not going to be honored because of construction going on on south. It was barely 45 min and we were drop off at the same place I accessed it initially!…. I found out it’s was more economic to purchase the ticket on board there was a difference of 4 dollars cheaper. Thank you

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback! We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the route limitation due to ongoing construction. We understand how frustrating this can be; it was a situation beyond our control. Regarding the ticket price, while on-board fares may sometimes appear lower, booking through our OTA partners offers important advantages: instant booking confirmation, flexible cancellation options, buyer protection, and customer support, benefits that add real value and peace of mind to your purchase. We hope to welcome you and show you the complete experience you deserve!

Foreign Tourists Needing Language Audio

The tour was only done in Spanish! I speak some Spanish, but not fluent. I missed a lot of details important to the history of Mérida.

Operator response

We are sorry about this. We will pass your comment to our team in Merida and let them know that all guests should be able to fully enjoy the history of Merida, and that the English audio guide must be enabled.

Not a hop on hop off

Please know that this is not a hop on hop off tour. You ride the bus through town (we started at the Cathedral) and a recording in Spanish explains the sites. You arrive back to where you start. Description states there are 2 separate routes, when asked the difference between the routes, we were told it is the same route but the 2nd time is without going a los barrios, for the cost, you get what you pay for.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback! We sincerely apologize for the misinformation provided by our staff regarding the circuits. Each circuit covers different routes and highlights distinct points of interest — that is precisely the reason both exist. We will make sure our team is better informed to guide future passengers correctly. We hope to welcome you back for a more complete Mérida experience!

Great overview of the city

Guided tour was Spanish only. People were great and the overview of the city was surprising. There are many sides to this city and we were happily exposed to a few of them on this tour. Don't miss this on your visit

Miscommunication and late!

Complete misinformation on timing and pick up. We cancelled it after over an hour wait. Cancelled via Viator. Then much later saw the bus- got on and paid through local company. Much less! But still would not recommend-

Operator response

We’re sorry to hear about your comment. Our team was in contact with you from early in the morning, sharing the exact meeting point and full schedule. The tour departed on time, and it was each guest’s responsibility to arrive at the meeting point. We regret any misunderstanding.

Main points of interest, excellent Service; take care of the sun and heat

Excellent tour of the main points of interest of the City of Merida. Bus in good condition, friendly staff. I recommend preventing yourself with protection from the sun and heat, such as hat, umbrella, blocker.

Cute but not necessary

The bus makes two very similar rounds and you can never get off at the points of interest except at the cathedral and Paseo 60. All in Spanish. I, who had a problem with my leg, used it to get an idea.

Operator response

Grazie per aver condiviso la sua esperienza. Ci dispiace per le limitazioni nelle fermate e terremo conto dei suoi commenti per migliorare. Siamo lieti che il tour le sia stato utile per avere un’idea generale della città e speriamo di accoglierla nuovamente presto.

Highly Recommend!

This was a great way to see the city so we knew where we wanted to go back and visit. We had limited time so we did this the first day of our trip.

Operator response

Thank you for your kind words. We're glad our tour helped you get a great overview of the city and plan your visit. Thank you for sharing your experience with others.

Good.

For the price, it was perfect for a city tour with some explanations. It was so hot that it was great in the late afternoon.

Operator response

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le tour, surtout par cette chaleur. Au plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau pour une prochaine visite !

Bad, bad experience!

Very bad experience! The bus got a flat tire and we had to get off the bus several blocks away from the stop at Paseo 60 and walk back. They did not reimburse the cost of the tickets and neither offer transportation back to the bus stop! Shame!
