Historic tour, not really a haunted tour.

Interesting facts and historical. However, "haunted" is not a word I would choose to describe this tour. The last stop included a location where paranormal equipment was offered (which was fun, but no activity was captured).

Ghostly experiences in Newport

it was a nice night for the tour. Barb was engaging. She and her daughter Sara brought EMF detectors to search for the haunted souls brought to life in her stories, all true, with a bit of speculation here and there. Bet it will be interesting 10-31!!

Ladies Night in Newport

We met our guide, Kevin at the designated place. The tour began right on time. We are senior women and he set the pace just right! He was knowledgeable and entertaining. We loved the stories and references he shared with us. The group has done several tours and we have never been disappointed.

Miranda was our tour guide and she was wonderful!!! She was very knowledgeable and added some spooky fun along the way. I highly recommend American Legacy Tours! Hopefully, you’re lucky enough to get Miranda!
