What are people saying about Newport

Lynne_A, Sep 2026

Delightful!

Tom and Sue were gracious and knowledgeable but the real treat was the delicious meals along the way- the clam chowder, the chicken sandwich, the homemade ravioli!! Joined by a prosecco and capped off with pastry and cappuccino- thankfully we walked and had interesting narratives along the way - we are stuffed but it was a perfect afternoon!!

Olde Town Ghost Walk

Met Richard inside the Marriott Hotel, Newport RI. Reviewed our vouchers and gave us stickers. At 8:30pm, started the tour outside. Richard has a great narrative voice, loud and clear. Began with a couple of ghost ship stories and then we walked further into Newport. Overall, a very good tour. Lots of history, coupled with spooky stories. Encouraged pictures and showed us pictures that had captured orbs and mists. Strongly recommend you wear comfortable shoes or sneakers. Saw some people wearing sandals. Didn’t think that felt comfortable when walking over cobblestones. Also be aware there is little to no seats available at a stop. Some people resorted to sitting on the floor/sidewalk. Bring something to sit on if you think you’ll get tired. One other plus. As we passed restaurants, saw some really good places to try. Wouldn’t have found them otherwise. Overall, a good time. Recommend you try it.

Golden Hour Cruise

Golden hour boat experience

Wonderful experience! Patrick was so much fun! The bartender was awesome (I wish I remembered her name) the bar accepts credit cards but it’s so much easier to pay and tip with cash. Overall great last minute idea, we’re so glad we did this! Highly recommend for a fun quick on the water activity!

Our sail on the Adirondack was one of the highlights of our trip! Getting out on the water was so much fun, and the crew was absolutely amazing—friendly, professional, and welcoming. We enjoyed glasses of Prosecco while sitting back, relaxing, and taking in the beautiful views. Along the way, the crew shared interesting history and stories about the area, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It was the perfect combination of relaxation, sightseeing, and fun. We didn’t want it to end! Highly recommend this sail to anyone visiting Newport.
