Beautiful day and a great tour given in a comfortable bus. Can't remember our guide's name but he was full of information on the area, homes, etc. The Breakers Mansion was amazing, and the audio tour app was perfect. My husband and I were able to share his blue tooth speakers (one in each of our ears) which allowed us to be on the same place of the presentation at the same time which really added to our enjoyment. We were able to comment on the same thing at the same time!

Driver was excellent, informative, friendly, good sense of humor and his recommendation of Joā€™s for dinner turned out to be our best meal of the trip thus far.

Guide was informative and not boring. Great way to see the area. Parking at location is helpful. Do have to pay to park. If you are not staying in Newport this is a great location to shop, eat by the water. Mansions are awesome.
