We took our kids to Newport to celebrate the end of spring break and we decided to take a boat tour with Gansett cruises. It was a beautiful day though cold, the crew made the experience made the trip fun with facts and stories about the bay. The crew was kind and welcoming. We are grateful for this experience! Highly recommend!

Outstanding tour - fun and interesting, great use of time
Steve was an outstanding guide. A great way to get an overview of Newport and its history. We had already driven around the peninsula on our own, but it’s much better in an electric golf cart with a knowledgable guide. Steve took us to some great picture spots where you can’t take a car and we learned so much. This should be your first activity when you arrive in Newport!

Great Sunset Cruise!
Great experience! The staff was super friendly and even called ahead to make sure we knew how to locate the cruise port. The cruise was fun and the staff clearly enjoy what they do. Totally recommended if you’re a Newport enthusiast or visiting for the first time!

A must do when visiting Newport
We had a wonderful time touring all of the historic sites in Newport. Our guide is a native who was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the history and residents of the city. He also gave great tips on sites to explore more deeply during our visit. I couldn't recommend this activity more!

Great Trolly Tour
Tour guide Ray was very knowledgeable. He is native to the area so able to give variety of history in the area. Weather was beautiful and were able to see so many lovely things. I would absolutely recommend going into the breakers as part of the tour.

Trolley tour is top notch
The 90 minute scenic trolley tour was the highlight of our trip to Newport. Conductor Rob was an excellent guide. He packed the 90 minutes with fascinating information about the history of Newport while keeping it lighthearted and fun. I highly recommend taking this tour. I liked that there was only one stop for those opting to get off at The Breakers. It kept a nice pace with all that Rob had to share. The views of the beautiful houses and the ocean were stunning.

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

Lacking communication
While we had a great experience with Gansett cruises, Viator did not provide correct information about the activity. We ordered our tickets back in April with the time slot of 11:15am. When we arrived (thankfully early) Gansett didn’t have our reservation listed and the time was actually 11am departure. I had my tickets and multiple emails from Viator with my reservation number and the time. Thankfully Gansett cruises had space and so we were able to attend, but Viator needs to ensure they have proper and correct info, and is providing that to the event conductors correctly. Not sure I would book through Viator again, we just happened to be lucky.

I traveled with family on this sunset schooner cruise in Newport.....we had an excellent experience! The crew was great- provided us details of the area and were attentive to our needs and the sailing was a terrific experience...just wish it had been a bit longer than 1 1/2 hours!

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.

College pals reunion
We had perfect weather and a smooth sailing experience. The crew was good with one exception. I was confused when the crew pitched for a gratuity when I had been called this morning by the company and had to prepay a 15% gratuity before taking the cruise.

Great experience with family
My family and I went sailing with Captain Charlie, Jay and Kelly (I think was her name). They were a great crew. Made everyone feel comfortable and it happened to be the perfect day, weather wise to go! All in all, a great experience and would do it again with them! Everything started on time and went very smoothly.
