Great Tour
Great tour. Highly recommend. Our tour guide, Andy, was very knowledgeable and very entertaining. Newport is one of the most historical coastal cities in the United States. The Breakers Mansion tour was amazing.
Highly recommend!
Our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable. He kept it light and provided anecodotes that brought the history to life. I highly recommend going on this tour and learning more about Newport beyond the restaurants and great shops!
A great way to see the town
This is a relaxing and informative way to get around Newport. In a place where traffic and pedestrians can be a challenge. Our guide made it fun too.
