All Providence Tours & Excursions in 2026

Jack was our tour guide and was delightful. The meeting spot was easy to find. Jack was there early (as was the whole group). We stared at Dune Brothers and had delicious clam chowder. Next stop was Tizzy K’s cereal ice cream (rotating secret flavor, I think it is different every day). Another highlight was Cielito’s Mexican Kitchen. The tacos do not disappoint. I did not drink but a few people on my tour had the margaritas and had good things to day about the drinks. Next stop was Suya Joint for Nigerian cuisine (tasty, but not as spicy as I would have liked). We ended at the Malted Barley, fresh warm pretzels and a huge beer selection. Positives about the food tour: everything! The food was tasty, and just enough. No one left hungry. Also not overstuffed. The variety of the food was excellent, and they made accommodations for me as I do not eat pork. The walking pace and distance was fine. Also I very much enjoyed the bits of history sprinkled in. And Jack was a jovial guy, personable, easy going, made the tour fun. Negatives: can’t say much here, it was a fun time and I enjoyed the food tour, and recommend it. Maybe if someone is vegetarian, it might be worth checking in advance that accommodations can be made. (The city loves meet and seafood). I personally would have enjoyed more details about Providence’s history (that me being a nerd, not a criticism of the tour). From what was shared I now can go do some deep dives on my own, and also Jack thoughtfully suggested the Crime Town podcast which has a whole season devoted to providence. Overall, a great time, and would do it again.

There were 6 of us. It was a beautiful day. I was SO impressed with the vendors & the portions they gave us. All of them were delicious. The tour was 3 hrs & the time flew by. The atmosphere on "the hill" was electrifying. Our tour guide, Kate was terrific & personable. The parking was a little tight but within a few minutes, we were able to find a spot It was really a wonderful time had by all. I am looking forward to doing another one. Maybe the Christmas one?

We arrived 35 minutes before the tour and enjoyed cookies from the coffee shop check-in point. We went on a Thursday and parking was plentiful in the area. The boat is small, holds 14 or 15 guests. The captain is full of knowledge and brings the river's history to life. The only downfall for me was the hard bench seating and back rest. Otherwise the tour was good and we are glad to have done it.
