Traveler reviews
The great learning about Newport
Was great ride, lots information, wonderful places and stops along the way, and the Mansions definitely on a different hera. Was a really good day. Me and my family enjoy very much. Thank you
Poor sound system. Uncomfortably hot trolley ride.
Poor sound system. Tour guide/ driver ( Dominic, I think) asks everyone not to speak during the tour. You can see why given you had to strain to hear him. He also asked that everyone leave the windows open because he personally liked windows open. It was a hot humid day. The a/c was on ( i think) but it did no good with everyone’s window open. Dont use Viking tours.
Trolley
Larry gave us so much information and was funny! The tour was great. The mansions were so beautiful and the time provided for them were just right
The best way to see Newport.
The best way to see Newport! Our guide Larry, was a tremendous source of information and provided in an entertaining way. We also were able to tour both Marble House and the Breakers which are not to be missed. Tremendous value. Highly recommend.
Great tour!
Tom was a really great guide. His knowledge of landmarks and history is fabulous. He was also really helpful about parking, bathrooms, and logistics that we tourists deal with. He's a terrific guy. The only negative is that his voice is not strong, so despite the microphone, he was hard to understand at some points. Others on the trolley said the same thing, so it wasn't just our opinion. I'm sure if we had asked him to speak louder and annunciate more, he would have. Aside from that, he really was terrific. What a great tour this was, too! Having an hour and a quarter in each mansion was just perfect, and Tom was prompt in meeting us just where he said he'd be. I'd definitely go again.
