Willy was a great guide! ...
Willy was a great guide! His communication with the group via text was very helpful including giving us the itinerary the day before. We had ample time at each stop. The 15 person van has strong AC which was good for the hot day. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing Newport Mansion Tour with Paco!
We had an amazing experience visiting the beautiful mansions in Newport, Rhode Island with Paco as our tour guide. Paco was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the history, architecture, and the wealthy families who built these incredible estates. His explanations brought the mansions to life and made the tour much more interesting and memorable. He was friendly, professional, and took great care of everyone throughout the day. We truly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend this tour with Paco!
