We booked this tour because with advanced notice, they can get you on the Navy base to see the Naval Aviation museum AND the Pensacola light house (since the base is currently closed to civilians, this is a way to get there).
Thoroughly enjoyed the lighthouse but the allotted 30 minutes is not enough time there should be an hour to climb the top AND see the museum plus gift shop.
The aviation museum is , well, amazing if you have any affection for aviation and the military. Our tour guide was trying but what was important "must sees" to him may not be for everyone. Get a map when you enter and look for what YOU want to see first. Again, although you are there for a while it is not enough time to see everything. In my opinion a lot of time was lost with Go Retro's guided tour.
Overall, I recommend this tour and would do it again.

Due to COVID, access to the NAS was restricted, but we found this tour offered by Go Retro, that provides credentialing and veteran tour guides to provide access and guided tours of the Lighthouse and Naval Aviation Museum. The lighthouse provided a fantastic view of the bay and aircraft flying out of Spencer Field. Great place to watch F-18s doing touch and go and high-G takeoff and turnout maneuvers. The tour was provided with two guides, John, a Coast Guard veteran who knew the history of both the station, and the aircraft on exhibit in the museum very well. Noah, the second guide, a local who also knew much of the local history and well versed on NAS Pensacola as well. An excellent value, for transport, access fees to the lighthouse, and credentialed access to the base during current base visitor restrictions.

We did the Blue Angels tour which included the Naval Aviation Museum and Lighthouse. Go Retro was very professional and has wonderful customer service. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to see the Blue Angels practice, or go to the Naval Aviation Museum.

Navy Heritage Tour. We visited the lighthouse on the Navy base as well as the Naval Aviation Museum. LeeRoy was our driver/guide and we had another guide as well.
I cannot recommend this tour enough especially if you go with LeeRoy. LeeRoy is retired Navy and told us several great stories about the Navy base and the planes on display.

We went on the National Naval Aviation Museum tour, which stopped at the beautiful lighthouse too. Our tour leader and another guide are very professional. The trip comfortable. We would not go without the guide to the museum. It is extensive, and a knowledgable guide (which we had) is a must. It is said that this museum is a must which we agree. For now, we need an escort with military ID to access the museum. Our tour leader has that priviledge.
We feel it was worth while taking this tour. We highly recommend.

Easy to schedule online, with excellent communication of information in advance of the tour of the Naval Aviation Museum and Lighthouse. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the airplanes on display. Best tour I've taken recently!

Noah was awesome! He was patient and courteous, and provided explanations.
And I thank Go Retro for its flexibility. I had booked 2 adult tickets for yesterday. But my companion missed his flight. I went on the tour solo yesterday, and Go Retro allowed my companion to make up for the missed experience by going on the 12 noon trip today.

We did the Lighthouse and Aviation Museum tour in Pensacola and it was really great! We were able to get on the Naval air station and go to the museum and see the Blue Angels practice! We were thrilled! The staff was real friendly and very knowledgeable. Our driver had been in the military and was a former curator of the lighthouse so, we got some first hand information on there ghosts he experienced. They were very accommodating. Overall a great experience! We would definitely do it again!

Robert, our tour guide was very enthusiastic and took his time giving the tour. We did the entire route, starting and ending at the Go Retro offices, parking our car there (note: there aren't very many available there - 5 at the most when we were there), call ahead to make sure... We got off at Joe Patti's and had our tour Free Gelato. With the tour, you get a wrist band, giving discounts and free offerings at a number of business establishments, including the free gelato.... Go for it and book Go Retro!!
