Our tour guide/driver (and I’m sorry I didn’t get his name) was funny, knowledgeable and could tell u where to get a great deal/pay less for parking etc. I would definitely go back and take a tour, with the same guy, if I could remember his name!

We thought the driver, while funny, kind, and well spoken, was talking too fast and didn’t give enough time for the interesting information he shared to really sink in. It was not easy to see out of the trolley windows, and there were too many things being pointed out to truly take in the historical significance of it all. I would have enjoyed a walking tour far more.

It would take 5.6 hours for the average person to walk our information packed 14 mile Newport tour loop. We cover it 90 minutes while you're sitting in comfort. Then there would be no expert narration of world famous Ocean Drive, the Gilded Age mansions along the route, Newport's history, the 18 TV and movie sets of past and present, and all that's available in today's Newport such as boat tours, activities, light houses, restaurant offerings, the best sunset spots, and all the free places to park while doing it all. Our tour is a monologue of the top 500 FAQs asked by customers over the years and there's a lot of information to share in the short 90 minute tour which goes by real fast. We're glad you came to Newport, and be careful walking these busy streets!
