Ella Rose was an amazing tour guide, very informative and knowledgeable about the area. She dressed in character which added to the experience. We drove past all the mansions many of which are used for filming the Gilded Age series.

The van was parked in a visible place waiting for us early. It was a very convenient location from the cruise ship.The tour was fantastic. An amazing amount of information about the history of the town. Great driver and entertaining as well. It was an added bonus that Lady Ella was in period costume.She was very personable and friendly and made the trip especially memorable

You travel around Newport and then stop and go through one of the mansions. It is very informative and interesting. Our tour guide was excellent and fun too. Very comfortable seating. I would highly recommend Ella Rose as a tour guide! Wonderful experience!

Informative and interesting walk through the history of Newport. Bella Rose was a great tour guide with a witty delivery.

Since it was off-season and there was filming, the Elms was closed so we went to Rosecliff. Ella was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable about the area. She also had good command of her audience as a few on the bus were rude and talking loudly even though she requested that we all speak softly so as to not disturb her oration. It was definitely worth the price and I recommend whole-heartedly.

Loved this tour! Our guide, Lady Ella Rose was so much fun and very knowledgeable on the area. We saw so many mansions along the drive and also stopped at the beach. She gave us tips on where to shop & dine afterwards. Would go on this tour again.

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!
