Jon was a great tour guide! I brought my friend who was visiting from California who’s never been here and he did such a good job of describing Rhode Island. It was perfect.. I learned a lot that I didn’t know and I am a Rhode Islander.

Touring Providence with Jarod was wonderful. He knew so much about the city and was very interesting to listen to. I especially enjoyed hearing about the city’s political past. The van was clean and comfortable, and the afternoon flew. If I’d change anything, I’d make the tour a little longer…it was that good!

This is a great drive in a clean and comfortable bus around Providence. I’d never been here before. You don’t see much in depth but the tour guide is very knowledgeable and can help you figure out what you want to go back to on your own. The pick up point has public restrooms and a nice visitors center. I’m all set to go out and see Rhode Island!

Short tour but hit all the major stops. 1 hour 45 minutes. A few stops for pictures and check out the area. Small passenger van was comfortable and ample windows to see the sights. Worth the price. I’d go again and recommits tour.

Terrible the guide call me to cancel the tour 1 hour before it begins I request my refund
He told me reschedule tomorrow but I couldn't take it
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We are so sorry that your tour had to be canceled. We did attempt to contact you a few times several hours before the tour to alert you, but were unable to connect with you.
Local guide who knew so many interesting facts about the history of the city of Providence. The small tour van was a bonus, easy to get and out of for pictures and better views. Many streets were closed due to a big sports event, but our guide knew his way around the city and we were able to see everything. Great tour w lots of information.

Thank you for joining us, Brian! We're so glad you had a great time on our Discover Providence tour!
We had a fun and informative tour of Providence, led by John, who was a fantastic guide—engaging, knowledgeable, and easy to follow. The tour itself was a great length, though we definitely could’ve used a bit more time at the first stop to fully enjoy all the culinary goodies.
One thing to note: the meeting location was changed. Thankfully, we received a call ahead of time, but some other attendees hadn’t, which caused a bit of confusion at the start. It was the first tour of the season, so a few small kinks are understandable—and honestly, they didn’t take away from our overall enjoyment at all. A great experience and well worth it!
