What are people saying about Newport

Newport in 90 mins with your favorite history teacher!
The guide was perfect. Because he grew up in the area he had great stories about the area and the people, and because he was a retired history teacher he knew how to keep our attention. Highly recommend this tour for all ages. Time and money well spent learning about Newport history, many of the homes and areas, not just the mansions, and lots of laughs.

Don’t miss this!
We have been to Newport many times before, but never by trolley and never during the holidays. Would highly recommend this tour. Russ, our tour guide was excellent. He had high energy and was spitting out Newport facts throughout. He was great and definitely made the ride enjoyable. Getting to visit The Breakers was a bonus! Would highly recommend!

The trolley tour was...
The trolley tour was absolutely fantastic. What a wonderful orientation to Newport and great sites and great “cottages” to behold. Dominic is one of the most excellent tour guides I have ever had. He was knowledgeable, he was witty, he was personable, and he kept us entertained the entire time. He represents your tour company extremely well. Five stars to Dominic.

Hop On The Fun Bus!
Hop on the fun bus with Lady Ella Rose and let her take you on a Historic and Scenic Tour through Newport, RI!
She is knowledgeable, witty and engaging. You will see all the beautiful mansions, learn their history and tour the beautiful Elms House and gardens. The group sizes and bus are smaller and more personal.
In addition Lady Ella Rose has many recommendations for other activities, shopping and all the best places to eat, like Wally’s Wieners!

Well worth it
Such a great excursion! Seeing the Newport landscape from the water’s perspective was great… The crew did a great job pointing out all the different sights and narrated details with a comical twist… Peter is an excellent captain who has a vast knowledge of Newport and the surrounding area! Jay was very helpful and catered to everybody in a timely fashion. Will definitely be booking this again

Beautiful sunset cruise
Arrives at least 30 minutes early and check in at the kiosk to collect your boarding pass.. I took the sunset Cruise at 5:30 which was magnificent. The captain purposely steered the boat to a number of positions where we could get great views of a lighthouse and the Newport Bridge. The crew was great.

Best boat tour in Newport!
This boat tour was awesome!! Patrick was incredibly intelligent and witty and made learning about the area very fun, and also made my mother in law and I cackle the entire time lol. The ‘Newport margarita’ they serve is delicious! (Lemonade and tequila). Staff was very friendly and professional. Would recommend to anyone wanting to be on the water and learn a bit about the area.

Great tour of Narragansett Bay!
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and well spoken. There were plenty of sights to see and it was fun to learn more about the history of Newport. The boat was very comfortable, the restrooms were clean and they had a full bar and snacks. Well worth the price.

A nice overview of Newport history
Conductor Rob was knowledgeable in both the history and the gossip both past and present of Newport. This was a great way to see a number of houses and hear the history, the only negative was the house owners who have planted vegetation in front of the limited some of the views.

Jay is a rockstar
Jay was a wealth of knowledge. Jay showed sailing skills above the average sailor. Jay only cried twice when Mark yelled at him. If I was to adopt a child I would rename them Jay. Jay should be given a raise. Jay seems like management material. Jay requested that nothing be said about him on these comments, but Jay’s above and beyond attitude should be recognized. Jay has made our Rhode Island vacation a success. I would definitely recommend my friends and family take a sail with Jay.

Fantastic trip round Newport
We really enjoyed our tour. The driver was so knowledgeable and friendly. He took us round the whole area and shared numerous anecdotes about the places we saw. He was very engaging and kept everyone interested.
The famous “summer cottages” were stunning and we enjoyed visiting the Marble House.
