Great time!

Great experience! So much history in the area. Enjoyed hearing all about it with a knowledgeable guide. Only disappointment was two chatty teenagers on the trolley who talked constantly so sometimes missed what guide was saying.

Great tour of Newport and the mansions. Our guide, Tom, was a native of Newport and had lots of great facts to share on our ride to the Marble House.
