Our tour guide (Jim?) was delightful and very knowledgable as he shared wonderful history and anecdotes as he steered the trolley throughout Newport and along its coast.

Guided tour on trolly was great. Trolly Joe was full of historical information. Breakers a waste of time. Totally oversold so that you could barely walk or view anything. Left after 20 minutes.

Trolley driver Rob was brilliant with his knowledge of the area and he was a good driver. Unfortunately the trolley we should had was out of action and the replacement didn’t live up to expectations, the windows aerie small and the seats were to high backed so you couldn’t see well.

Thank you for complementing Rob and understanding why he had to provide a back-up vehicle for this busy tour date. You forgot to mention that Rob explained this to everyone prior to boarding and offered a full refund upfront if anyone didn't like the replacement vehicle. The only other option would have been to cancel and refund the tour altogether and disappoint 100+ guests.
