The bus trip was well organised and our guide was very informative and amusing. It was a nice idea to stop by the Italian Food Market to get some lunch if necessary. We learned much more about Providence by taking the bus trip than we would have on our own.

This was a great experience! It was a bit of a rainy day in Providence so we were still able to see everything in the comfort of our own car. AMAZING!

Our guide wa knowledgeable and witty. We learned a great deal about the history of Providence. I would highly recommend this tour.
