Great way to experience Providence
Was in Providence for a conference, wanted to get out and see the city for a bit. This tour was great! Allie was our ghost guide, and she was amazing! Very knowledgeable, organized, friendly and engaging. I learned a lot about the area around Brown University, heard many fascinating stories about paranormal activity, got some exercise, saw beautiful historic homes and met some nice people in our group. Felt totally safe meeting at the park, and taking this tour by myself. Fun way to see Providence!

A Wonderful Way to Experience Providence
Excellent food and a fascinating look at Providence and Rhode Island. Cameron was a fantastic tour guide - with story after story that made the history come alive. Lobster roll, sandwiches, pizza, ice cream and “stuffies” - each food was uniquely Rhode Island and a real treat. I highly recommend the experience.

Do this first thing in Newport!
Fabulous tour of historic area, Bellevue Avenue, Ocean Drive. Driver Kyle was fun and knowledgeable. Especially enjoyed zipping along next to ocean at 25mph in open vehicle. Dress warmly and hold on to your hat! ... This is great overview tour that should be done your first day in Newport!

Wonderful tour guide
Our beautiful guide (dressed in Gilded Age character) could have been the fun Mrs. Fish. Her knowledge about Newport, the mansions, and other sights was excellent. It was a rainy day but I hardly noticed as she kept everything so cheerful and fun. My tour included The Marble House which was worth the time.

Our first foodie tour!
It was a beautiful day in downtown Providence, RI, and my wife and I were joined by a family of 4 ladies on a girls trip. Our tour guide, Lesli did an awesome job taking us on a foodie tour of 6 eating establishments, and giving us some history of Rhode Island. Each eatery was uniquely delicious!

Don't miss this tour!
This was seriously one of the best food tours we've been on, and we have been on many. Jack was our guide, and he was awesome! We had really, really good food on this tour. It would be impossible to say which stop was my favorite. Drinks were included, and they were wonderful as well. Jack was such a great guide. We had a blast and feel like he's a friend now. We got tons of recommendations for restaurants for the rest of our trip as well.

Great views
We did a trolley tour in the morning to explore Rhode Island, but most of the mansions had trees that blocked the view from the road. It was educational, and we loved the trolley, but seeing the mansions from the harbor was much better! The narrator was very knowledgeable and friendly. We did a short tour (only about 70 minutes), but it covered a good amount of territory.
On a side note, I had originally signed up for a morning cruise, but the trolley had to cancel the afternoon loop, so the cruise company was very accommodating in moving my reservation to the afternoon so I could squeeze both in on the one day I was visiting Rhode Island.

Cruising, history and a libation
We had a sunset cruise on the Adirondack, a beautiful sailing vessel. There was a captain and three crew members— all of whom were highly competent and friendly. Newport harbor was filled with sailing vessels and Narragansett Bay is so beautiful. Once we were underway and the sails raised, the crew broke out the drinks— beer, wine, prosecco, and cocktails were flowing for a reasonable cash price. The captain gave us history on Fort Adams and other landmarks. Although our cruise ended early because of rain, we all had a nice time. My only criticism is that the boat was crowded and could have been more comfortable if there were a fewer people on the boat.

A perfect sis set cruise weather notwithstanding
What promised to be a dreary evening due to the inclement weather, turned out to be a perfect sunset cruise. Highlight was the cruise guide ( whose name somehow eludes me) who was hilarious, knowledgeable and made the evening well worth it. A beautiful sunset and rainbow at the end was the icing on the cake

Great day on the Adirondack
We had a lovely morning out on the water on the Adirondack. As a native Rhode Islander who has lived on the West Coast for almost 40 years, it was wonderful to learn a few things about the sights and people of Newport and Jamestown. The crew was knowledgable and fun to listen to

The sail itself was fantastic, crew was great.
The sail itself was fantastic, crew was great. The only issue this trip was a group of obnoxious women. who disregarded everyone around them and did not stop talking (or lowering their voices) when the crew was telling the boat stories of the area and what we were seeing. They were also very rude taking pictures if each other and not paying any attention the the actual sailing expetience.

Mimosa and Lighthouse Cruise - 10/10
My friend and I had an absolute BLAST on this cruise! It was so beautiful seeing all the lighthouses. We loved hearing the history behind each lighthouse and information about the historical monuments in Newport. The complimentary mimosa was amazing. So fun and engaging — I highly recommend this experience!!
