What people are saying about Newport, Rhode Island

The tour guide Dominic was awesome. Funny, pleasant and knowledgeable. Enjoyable from start to finish. We saw every inch of Newport. Rhode Island. We highly recommend taking this tour when in Newport.

This tour made it an efficient way to see all the beauty of Newport. We learned all about it’s rich history which would have been challenging to learn during our short stay.

If coming off cruise ship better to schedule afternoon. Ran to catch 10 o’clock and if he wasn’t waiting on someone who was coming back from rest room we would have missed.

Be considerate of your fellow passengers WEAR YOUR MASK in congregate situations

great tour, knowledgeable guide Domenic was excellent too
