I had always heard that the gangsters were a big thing in Newport, but, I had no idea the details and the history. Great stories were told. Really fascinating stuff!! My 22 year old son and I loved it!!

Our guide, Miranda, was brilliant, funny and informative. Her stories were sometimes a bit shocking, and I grew up with stories about the Chicago mob, so I really appreciated that!

Miranda was so knowledgeable and made the tour fun. We were with a group of approx. 25. She kept us all enthralled. Answered our questions with factual history and humor.
