Greatest tour guide for Newport!
Anthony_W, Mar 2023
The entire tour was excellent-informative and enjoyable! We did the audio tour in the beginning of the wk since the trolley wasn’t running. Being disappointed in the audio we decided to do the trolley even if it was at the end of our vac. week.
Do it!

Trolley Rob was our driver and did an excellent job. He told great stories about the different times of Newport. You only think of Newport as the Gilded age but there’s so much more.
