6 ladies in our group and a man (Ray) to take us on an adventure into the past and highlights of the present Newport area. We were delighted, and all experienced the tour in our own way (something for everyone).

Ray was a great tourguide, I saw/learned so much of Newport that I would have never been able to do alone. Also, The Breakers was definitly worth seeing.

Thank you!
Fun educational tour for Newport history
Nancy_A, June 2023
Our tour guide, Ray, was very knowledgeable of the area, being a lifelong resident of Newport. We learned many historical facts as well as interesting anecdotes from Ray's life. All of Newport's historical "cottages" are a marvel to see, and the tour of Breakers mansion was truly magnificent. I would highly recommend this tour.

Afternoon Newport tour
Cynthia_P, June 2023
my husband and I came to Newport for our anniversary. We took the tour because we really had no idea of Newport. The trolly gave us a great overview of the town. But best, loved hearing all of the personal stories from our driver. Such a fun day to spend an afternoon
