Larry was a great guide for our first visit to Newport. He was so accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable about the area, its history and the mansions (including knowing former and current owners). We opted for the extra entrance to see The Breakers mansion and enjoyed seeing inside. We couldn’t have had a better tour!!

Larry was the perfect answer to our travel quandary. We were unsure how to introduce Newport RI to our friend who is a New Englander but has never stayed or visited the attractions of the area. Larry was able to give us the most detailed history and beautiful tour of the area in the shortest amount of time. His experience and knowledge of the area is worth every penny. I would recommend this tour to everyone but I’m afraid I’ll never be able to book again. Thank you Larry from your ladies Debbie Tracy and Susie.

Larry was amazing. His knowledge of the city of Newport was incredible. We compared all other tour guides to him. He made our tour very personable even taking us to local lighthouses because that was one of our interests. Really was the best way to see the town. Highly recommend.

This was such a great tour. Larry was full of knowledge about the area and made it extra interesting for our teens.
The guide also commented in advance about meeting spot and we had no problem finding him as we got off our cruise ship.
