Angel is the BEST!
We had the best time on this food tour and were pleasantly surprised by how good all the food was! We loved trying foods from different cultures and testing out things that we wouldn't normally gravitate towards. Everything was delicious and Angel was an incredible tour guide. She’s fun, personable, and educated us on the history of Newport along the way. We had so much fun laughing and eating our way through newport! Thank you again Angel, for an amazing experience!

We took our kids to...
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!

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.

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.

Sail into the night!
I say to others DON’T miss it‼️ Even though it was overcast it was a beautiful night. The scooner was just beautiful 💕
The captain and his female staff were lovely. They were knowledgeable and wonderful hosts. They knew their stuff!
I say thx to the team and keep on sailing😊

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.

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.

Coastal Queen Gives Royal Treatment
What a wonderful way to spend some time on the water. Clean, comfortable and so pleasantly entertaining. I enjoyed every minute of this coastal tour. The witty narrator provided just enough information about the homes and landmarks around Newport Harbor.

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.
