4.00It was ok but the bus was very rough riding and seats were small for us over 6’ tall a kind couple switched seats with us so much better but still a very rough ride. Wish it had more history highlighted. Tour guide was very accommodating and a very nice person.

5.00Get there early to check in. Started off kinda slow, but after stopping to get Gelato, it improved dramatically. Lisa was great tour guide, showed us lots of places/history to check out. Great to start out beginning of vacation with. Gives you access to lots of museums and historic village included in price, and a week to use them. 5/5
Not as advertised

1.00This is NOT a hop-on, hop-off excursion and we were not told that until tickets had been purchased and we were getting our wristbands. We were crowded into a bus - A/C did not work, and let off 3 times in 1 and 1/2 hours. Information center (I guess the bathroom stop was good), military appreciation plaza (not a lot of time) and for some free gelato (again a rushed visit). We did not get to stop and see any of the historic buildings. Hard to photograph when not stopping and getting out. Bus driver talked, but could not hear him in the back of the bus at all. Very disappointing overall.
great way to learn about the city’s history

5.00We booked this tour through Viator. The starting point address did match the actual location perfectly, but I’m mentioning it because the confirmation email and digital tickets were not very clear about where the tour began. The app stated that we could access the tour from any of the stop locations, but it did not provide specific addresses for those stops. After clicking around in the app, I eventually found the main address listed at the very bottom of the screen. Parking was free, and check-in was easy and located inside the office. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The tour lasted approximately 1.5 hours. We were driven in a comfortable van through different areas of downtown Pensacola while the guide explained the history and current significance of each location. We stopped and got out at two different sites. There is usually a third stop, but on Saturday afternoons that location is skipped because the historic site is closed. There were two restroom opportunities between stops, which was very convenient. One of the stops also included a complimentary scoop of gelato, which was a nice surprise. Traveling in the van was comfortable, especially with the air conditioning, and it was helpful to have a knowledgeable driver who knew exactly where to go. During the tour, wristbands were provided, and by wearing them afterward, we were able to receive discounts at several local restaurants, which added extra value to the experience. Since we just moved here, this was a great way to learn about the city’s history, take note of places to visit, restaurants to try, and even discover other tours the same company offers in the area. Overall, it was an enjoyable and informative experience.
Excellent overview and History.

5.00This by far the best tour in Pensecola. We have visited the city for the last 7 years and this is the 2nd time on this tour. The tour guide on February 17th 2 o'clock tour went above and beyond to make the tour special for our family. We appreciated her so much.
Informative and Sandy is...
