It was one of the most fun trips my friends and I have taken! You have to ask for Kathy, as she had us laughing from the start, and was very informative about historic sites along the way—great tidbits and stories. She also really knew how to read the room, or the boat, in this case, as when my friends and I got to gabbing about our lives, she let us be and definitely loved being on the ocean. She was really wonderful all around, and she definitely made it funny and fun.

We were feeling stressed and needed a staycation. We love history and are so glad we discovered this tour! Friends joined us. Our tour was relaxing and rejuvenating! All of us enjoyed the scenery, our tour guide's soothing voice, and learning new things about Newport Harbor. Our guide asked us about how much info we wanted vs. how much time we just wanted to be quiet and appreciate our time on the water. She nailed it - great time!

Traveling through the Newport Harbor is always an incredible experience but when you have a guide that really knows the true history of Newport, it makes it an even more exhilarating experience.
