Lee Roy was an outstanding guide. I had to chance to discover Pensacola, its history and anecdotes. Now I want to come back. The tour is well organized and gives you a good picture of the place. I strongly recommend to anyone whos curious to discover this beautiful city.

I went to visit a friend in Pensacola and signed us up for this. We both enjoyed the ghost stories and I really liked being able to stop at one of the Victorian homes that was believed to be haunted...I didnt experience anything while there, but the house was beautiful and the host grew up and still lives in the house. I also liked knowing where the haunted places were so during the rest of my visit I kept looking for ghostly experiences...I didnt have any, but liked the idea. I enjoy horror movies so I was not afraid at any point, just fun.

Mr. Leroy is a fantastic guide and driver. Me and wifey felt like he took care of our every need, making us feel welcome in Pensacola. We recommend this tour to anyone visiting for the first time for history and local discounts.

This was pretty fun. We did the haunted pensacola bus tour. Besides the cheesy cut scenes in the information video, the stories were interesting and fun and we got to get out and wander around st. Johns graveyard. We also got a tour of one of the beautiful haunted mansions that was renovated by the man that played the preacher and did the voice over for the video. Overall it was not scary, but it was fun and informative.

Leeroy was a wonderfully informative and helpful driver. The sights and information (Landmarks tour) was so well planned out, and the video offered depth and insight. I highly recomend Go Retro tours.

I am a multi generational citizen of Pensacola. I mistakenly thought I could give this tour myself. I was wrong. I learned a great deal of very useful information. Wesley was very knowledgeable about many aspects of this community. I would highly suggest taking this wonderful 2 hour overview of this terrific city. Bill Zimmern

Lived in the area 2 years. Did not know about stuff around here. Enjoy the info from the trip. Robert was great at explaining everything. It was Seafood Festival and some of the area was closed. Still enjoyed the info. Only thing I would suggest is the guide use a microphone system. Was hard to hear him.

Great narrated tour of Historical Pensacola. The tour has a video which showcases many points of interest in the city. A complete loop of the tour lasts one hour, and its a hop on hop off tour, do you may stop in a spot and catch the tour again later. David, the tour driver, was so knowledgeable and nice. The tour also gives out a pamphlet that lists many discounts and special offers on select businesses in the city. I recommend to anyone who visits the city.

It was ok but they play a video for you to watch as going thru tour..ehhhh...not for me..i wanna hear it live... Plus about stop 8 they take u to their office so the credit card payers can pay...cash customers sit on the bus or stand around outside waiting...leaves AC running on bus but leaves door open and all AC goes out the door. .only 20 bucks a person but far from a good 20 x 2 people tour. And need to conduct business before tour starts in my opinion. Our driver was very nice. Bus was clean.

Leeroy was great and made the whole haunted tour fantastic! We took our younger kids (wasn’t sure what to expect) and it was probably a little more pg13 than I anticipated but I’m so into this history and I’m glad I took them because it was a major highlight of the trip! I read reviews about people being disappointed that they couldn’t get off the bus but the company must have read these reviews because I was pleasantly surprised when we got off the bus at a cemetery and at a real house that is “haunted”... leeroy made us feel so comfortable, even with younger children who got fussy! He was the best part and made us feel so welcomed and even gave us some recommendations for good Cajun dinner. I’d highly recommend this tour, but heads up- it has scenes from scary movies- probably leave the little ones if possible.

We did not do hop on and hop off tour but when we stopped in Leeroy gave us quite a bit of information about Pensacola and great places to stop. He was very helpful and we enjoyed talking with him. We ended up taking the ghost tour in the evening and it was good. We got to see a lot of historic homes and learn about different stories to each home. Worth checking out.

Wesley, our tour guide, not only remembered all the historical dates and names but added a sense of humor that kept us all on our toes and laughing all the way! Highly recommend his tour. Makes you wish you lived in the area! This walkimg tour is so rich in history with haunting stories that keep you on the edge of your seat. This is a must see event.

Tour information was good and well researched. Very interesting!However, I assumed that there would be a guide giving the tour as we drove past the homes, buildings, and grave yard instead it was on a TV screen. I guess as a customer, I would have liked to known that.Again very interesting but not was I expected.

Review №23

The tour easy really great and I learned a little bit of Pensacola history, too. However, the bus was too hot for the entire trip, which made it a miserable ride. Also, I didnt care for the extremely loud videos. The sing a long music was enjoyable and festive, but I couldnt see the screen from the back because of a really tall guys head in the way. I would recommend the tour and will do it again next year. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable!

We went on the ghosts and graveyards tour. Leroy was such a wonderful guide! The video you watch during the tour has an element of “cheesiness” that cult horror fans will love, while still relaying interesting, relevant historical facts. Leroy added details to the stories when necessary. Definitely got creeped out! Highly recommended... great value!

You might see this listed as the Hop On Hop Off Tour, although they no longer do that. Its a nice guided tour of Pensacola to help you orient yourself. The price includes free admission to a number of popular attractions like the Lighthouse, plus you get a lot of freebies at local restaurants. Taking the tour is fun, and it saves you money, so I highly recommend it. Doesnt run Sunday or Monday.

The tour guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. The Hop-On Hop -off was a little hard with only 2 vehicles in the fleet, but I would still use this company again as a guided tour.

Took the ghost tour with 15 in our group plus several others we didnt know. It was a very interesting tour, with a lot of history. Saw a LOT of beautiful historic homes. We had several teens and some pre-teens. They want you that some of the material is PG-13, but trust me, its not that bad. It was a good time. I suggest yall try it. Great tour driver and organizer. And it is AIR CONDITIONED! Lol.

Tour was weak on content and characterized by improvisational content verging on inappropriate. Tour guide showed video of Hunter shooting Santas reindeer despite the fact there were children on tour. It continued with awkward attempts at color commentary about the lawn displays and sophomoric humor about Christmas balls. The height of awkward and inappropriate was when guide said this about one lawn display: I dont know why they have pigs in their Christmas display; maybe they are really anti-muslim. This was extremely embarassing; I didnt say anything because I was escorting my elderly mother. I found out later she noticed all of this, which breaks my heart. I would avoid these events.

So happy we did this your. Our guide was fun and informative. We learned about local history, hot spots, historicalvenues, and food. Do this first and it will help you plan your trip. After the tours we felt like we were natives of this beautiful city! They also give you perks from the attractions.

The Hop on Hop off is the best way to view Pensacola and learn about its fascinating history and enjoy the perks of the wrist band.

We took the tour with visiting family. It was very informative, even pointing out where some sites of local history took place even though they were no longer there.It was a nice relaxing tour and would be great especially for visitors unable to do that much walking.
