Itinerary

Make the most of your time in Merida by touring it on a hop-on, hop-off bus. You’ll conserve energy by not having to walk from place to place, plus you’ll cover a lot more ground in a shorter amount of time.

There are two circuits you can choose from, which include stops at places like Teatro Peon Contreras, Paseo de Montejo, Yucatan Siglo XXI Convention Center, and more. Visit modern sites, more natural spaces, and ancient architectural structures. What you choose is all up to you.

The bus has both a lower and upper open-air section, so you can also choose where you sit, depending on the weather and your preferences. Along the way you’ll have live Spanish commentary.

Great overview of the city

Norman_B, Feb 2026
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!

Laura_K, Nov 2025
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-

Response from Host, Nov 2025

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.

Highly Recommend!

Sheree_R, May 2025
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.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

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.

Worth every penny!

Hector_S, Sep 2023
This sightseeing tour of the city of Merida is well worth the time and money. It helps to get acquainted with this beautiful city and also enjoy a very pleasant ride, especially because it's a HOHO type of bus.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you for sharing your experience with others, we are glad you had a good time.

Only way to see Merida

LiliaE_K, May 2022
Lovely tour. Bus was modern and clean. I signed up for English but was only given in Spanish. Other than that it was well moderated and decripted. The music and Bombas (jokes) added to flavor of tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Hello, we hope you are well. We would like to thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and sharing your experience. We are glad you had a good time! Best regards, Turibus Team Mérida

The beautiful...

HueMan_B, Apr 2022
The beautiful architecture and scenery….and the various changes in each part of the city.. okay already…that’s what I have to say..

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Hello, thank you so much for your comment, we truly appreciate it. Have a great day!

Disappointed senior tourists

Margarita_L, Mar 2022
This tour was nothing like what was sold to us: it only had one route, not two; it only had 2 stops instead of 12 as shown. It was also more expensive than if we had bought it at the bus and did not offer a senior discount as the provider does.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Dear passenger, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry that your experience did not match your expectations. There are 2 circuits, North and Barrios, and two meeting points or stops, Cathedral and Plaza 60. The sightseeing tour passes by 12 important sites but does not stop at each one of them. The senior discount is only for Mexican citizens. We thank you again for posting a review and we hope you continue to have a great vacation. Best regards, Turibus Mérida Team

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

Daniel_T, Aug 2025
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.

Nos alegra saber que disfrutó el recorrido por la ciudad de Mérida, agradecemos mucho su comentario y lo esperamos con gusto en un futuro próximo.

Cute but not necessary

Livia_A, Aug 2025
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.

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.

Muy excelente

Laura_M, Nov 2023
La zona histórica. La antigua y la nueva Mérida. Paseo Montejo. Las casas y la explicación de estas.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Le agradecemos su comentario y nos complace saber que disfrutó el paseo.

El recorrido es...

JOSEANGEL_G, Aug 2023
El recorrido es suficiente para decidir qué visitar después, aunque hace falta un techo para proteger del sol la parte superior; sería bueno que hubiera más paradas para bajar y subir en puntos de interés

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Agradecemos infinitamente su comentario, tomaremos en consideración su sugerencia respecto al techo y las paradas. Gracias por compartir su experiencia.

Lo recomiendo ampliamente

Montserrat_V, Nov 2022
Nos resultó perfecto para visitar varios lugares en un poco tiempo, el personal muy atento, amable y respetuoso.

No hubo servicio ayer domingo

Alfonso_R, Jun 2021
Compré los boletos para ayer domingo pero al parecer no hubo Servicio. No pude tomar el tour. Necesito informes para devolución de lo q pagué por 2 boletos.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Estimado pasajero, Lamentamos que no haya podido hacer uso de su boleto. Estamos trabajando en conjunto con las autoridades para cumplir con las medidas de seguridad Covid-19 y cualquier otro evento de carácter local. El día domingo se realizó un paseo en bicicleta en la Av. de Paseo Montejo y aunque sí estuvo operando el Turibus, el servicio comenzó a las 12:00 de la mañana. Ya hemos notificado a Viator para que procedan a darle el reembolso de sus boletos. Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de dejar una reseña, estas nos ayudan a mejorar nuestro servicio. Los mejores deseos, Equipo Turibus Mérida
