About
Embark on a journey through Pensacola's darker past and haunted present on a group ghost tour. A 1930 Ford transit bus takes you to the city's scariest locations. Discover the macabre history not found in any guidebook and listen to stories about stubborn ghosts who can't seem to move on. Bank robbery, live burial, and embalming techniques are just a few of the tour’s talking points.

      Good Overview Trip but issues
      A good way to see Pensacola. Check in was easy. Due to the day of the week, only my wife and I were on the trip. Driver was excellent for a new driver. Tour was ok but had technical issues with video. Not sure about hop-on/hop-off analogy. Tour lasted about two hours with two stops. To me not really a hop-on/hop-off. Not sure it was worth the price.

      False advertisement on brochure.......... waste of money
      Waste of money. It was horrible . NOT NOT a hop on --hop off tour. You watch a video and drive around town. You are told that you may come back to the stops on your own. It was a white van not the cool truck in picture...brochure was false advertisement and very misleading.....

      Okay
      It was fine. The guides were nice. The website shows two pick up options (main office and visitor center) and I guess that is no longer the case. I found out after calling to check on when to be there. I hope they fix that.

      The museum is free and open to the public
      The museum is free to anyone, and open to the public. No need to pay $50 The lighthouse is maybe $10 a person. Save your money, and go yourself.

      Not a hop on hop off bus tour.
      Not a true hop on hop off tour. Only got out of the van 3 stops. One of the stops being the Visitors Center. Tour was not in the retro bus it was in a van. Disappointed.

      Get to Know Pensacola like you never did
      Terry was the best tour guide! We really enjoyed the tour and his commentary. He was sweet and knowledgeable! This tour is a must do. The bus was air conditioned, the tour was informative, and fun. You get to see lots and make stops along the way. Totally recommend

      Great tour!
      I really enjoyed this tour. We got to see so many things that ordinarily I wouldn't have known to look for! Mr Terry Sanders, our driver/tour guide was simply AMAZING. He was so knowledgeable and his love for Pensacola really shone through. I wish we could have stayed longer so I could have gone on the ghost tour!

      Florida's Greatest Secret
      The tour was wonderful! Terry, our tour guide, treated us like royalty. He was very knowledgeable and added a great deal of information from his own research. We learned so much and considered this time and money well spent. I am excited to take one of his other tours the next time we come to Pensacola, the hidden gem of the state of Florida.

      "An Unforgettable Ghost Investigating Adventure: Exploring the Paranormal on My Son's 18th Birthday"
      I took my son Ghost Investigating on his 18th birthday as a surprise trip, following a last-minute suggestion from a complete stranger. And I am so glad I did. Were there ghosts? I don't know; that's for the individual to decide. But there were definitely very specific unexplainable things that happened, which were very personal to me. The house is old—1900s old—and it's beautiful! Even if you aren't into Ghost Hunting, the house and history alone are enough to enjoy. Almost everything there is original, which is exciting for ghost hunters because those are triggers for the afterlife to become active. The house is huge, with secret rooms, and the history is rich. Upon walking in, I was immediately hit with a heaviness and a somewhat nauseated, dizzy feeling. I can only describe it as being under sedation or a narcotic without food in your stomach. Or maybe similar to the Gravitron carnival ride at your local fair when you try to lift your head off the pads at full speed. My personal experience will not be anyone else's, and I am pretty sure I was the only one on that trip who felt this way. I felt like this almost the entirety of the adventure, but I didn't want to ruin it for my kid, so I sat (because I had to) 90% of the time. We were given several ghost-hunting tools, like temperature lasers, EMF detectors, touch-activated objects that light up, and even a Spirit Box. Most of the items went off or did things no one could explain, and that was exciting. What hit me hard was the Spirit Box. Two messages came through that were very specific to me and were about situations that aren't public knowledge. The tour guide, Mama Ivy (who is fantastic!), was extremely knowledgeable and upbeat. You can tell she loves what she does, and another surprise to me, I had met her as a kid! I really didn't expect so much from the trip, but it blew me away. The messages were very important, and the time I spent with my family was unforgettable. And my 18-year-old? He LOVED it and he wants to come back. I would recommend anyone to go on this trip; it was calm, the lights stayed on (because the ghosts wanted them on), and it was fun as the spirits apparently have huge personalities, some that are sarcastic and funny.

    Love the tour! The guide entertained us with interesting, spooky tales as he drove us around the city. We visited some pretty intense sights and were invited to walk around in the cemetery and visit a historic house! Was awesome. Will definitely book another tour with the company (they have several to choose from). Was great!

    My wife and I had a great time on the Ghosts and Graveyard tour! The tour was comprised of an hour and a half of stories from both the tour video and the driver. About halfway through the tour we were able to step out of the bus for a few minutes to walk through part of the St. John Cemetery. Would recommend as a fun date!

    Very interesting tour of various haunted places around the city culminating in a spooky sojourn in St John’s cemetery. I wish I could remember where the haunted houses were. It would be awesome if the video was provided for sale. I would even buy a list of the addresses.

    The tour was well worth the $25 per person that we paid! Ivey was a great gal, and very knowledgeable about the homes and the stories of the area. The 2 tour is by air conditioned van and most of the info is on the big screen video, so not much walking. Very enjoyable!

    The tour guide was amazing, very funny, and made the overall experience that much better. If you’re in the area I highly recommend checking them out! She gave us extra info that wasn’t on the video and chatted with her charges. Overall an amazing experience highly recommend!

    Took a large family including kids (ages 10-14) and we all had some laughs and learned from interesting stories about ghosts and real life residents of Pensacola. Terry Sanders was our driver and provided jokes and additional entertainment during the tour. The tour goes to multiple areas so it also provides a nice overview of the city..

    Glad you liked it. We always are nervous when younger children come because the tour is designed for folks 17+. In the past, some parents have said the tour scared their 10 year old. Thanks again for coming and your great feedback!

    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 didn't have any, but liked the idea. I enjoy horror movies so I was not afraid at any point, just fun.

    I was excited to go on this tour but my friend was not, she is not a fan of ghost tours but agreed to go. We both really enjoyed it. It was a good deal of history and details about the city and its former residents. It was interesting and our guide was hilarious. So glad we went!!

    It was very cheesy. You basically just drive around while a video plays. You'll stop in front of someone's house while the video tells you about a murder that happened there amd then you drive again. You only stop once at a graveyard, which was pretty cool, but I would've rather just done that ourselves so we had time to walk around.

    This was by far the absolute best tour I have been on anywhere. If I could give it 10 stars I would! The bus was clean , comfortable and not to crowded only 13 people per tour. There were large TV screens on the bus with a narrator explaining everything which was so much better than the normal driver being the narrator. Although Ivy was fabulous, she added to the narration and took us into the graveyard. She was super GREAT!!!!! We live here and I can't wait to go on the rest of their tours. Highly recommend.
