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.
We had the chance to do the Hop-on Hop-off Tour and the Ghosts and Graveyard tour with our guide, Terry. They were both very informative and were a great way for my partner and I to fall in love with Pensacola! Lucky us, we got engaged the night before the tours, and then got to visit the Fleming Fountain where it happened during the hop-off part of the tour to take lots of pics. Terry was super nice, accommodating, and had the right attitude for the tours. There truly are a bunch of ghost stories in this city, which now we know was the first settlement in the USA! Thanks Terry, cause know we can correct people who say it was St Augustine lol. The Hop-on Hop-off Tour included a free entry to a bunch of historical places, like the museum of art, the children’s museum, a recreated 1805 kitchen house, the cemetery, and others.
