The guides here really make the experience. Terry, Duel, Lisa, Wesley, and Sophie get consistent shoutouts for being knowledgeable, entertaining, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Visitors rave about learning Pensacola's history in an engaging way that doesn't feel like a lecture. The hop-on-hop-off tour gets praise for covering downtown attractions with coupons included, while the ghost and graveyard tour appeals to those interested in the area's darker history. The food tour stands out as a highlight for many, with stops at carefully selected local spots and guides who provide excellent context about the cuisine and culture. There are a couple concerning reviews about safety and professionalism that deserve mention, though they seem to be isolated incidents. Most experiences are overwhelmingly positive. A few visitors expected to ride in an actual retro bus and got a van instead, which was a minor disappointment. The variety of tour options means there's something for different interests, whether you want history, food, or spooky stories. Overall, the enthusiastic guides and well-curated routes make this a solid choice for getting oriented in Pensacola.
This was a special tour of sites of the Revolutionary War Battle of Pensacola. I have lived here 43 years and never knew about most of these sites and their role in the Battle. Wesley Odom was the guide and gave us so much history of the events of the battle. I highly recommend tours by Go Retro.
