Karen, our guide, was very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of Newport. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Extremely Satisfied with this tour.

BARBARA_M, Oct 2025

Our guide MARK was excellent – very knowledgeable about the details, pleasant and able to answer difficult questions. Due to the cold and windy weather, we had a small group and it was as though it was a private tour.
