A very informative tour if you want to know the history as well as the stories behind it. Driver took time to go in depth at different sites, willing to answer all questions

This was a great tour around Newport! We came in on an NCL Cruise and after tendering we only had a short 10 minute walk to the transportation station where we waited for the trolley (it's on the same side of the street from where you arrive). The station waiting area is outdoors under covered shelters with benches and large numbers and letters marking where you need to be. There is also an air conditioned indoor area with public restrooms and vending machines if needed. Our tour guide was Trolley Rob and he was a blast! He spoke very clear and loud and my mother who is hard of hearing was actually able to hear and understand him throughout the tour which rarely happens. He was very knowledgeable about everything we were seeing and added fun stories and jokes with each place. He briefly stopped and pulled over at quite a few mansions and the fort so we could have a longer look. This tour does not stop and let you out for pictures but it's air conditioned and had clean glass windows for nice photos as we passed. My 6 year old autistic daughter was cool and comfortable and really enjoyed the ride. My 14 year old son loved hearing the history and snapping photos. 90 minutes was the perfect amount of time. I highly recommend if you want a nice historical and quirky look around Newport and you can't beat the price.

Absolutely wonderful tour. Our guide , Charlie was terrific. He included so much information outside of the historical detail. He made all on the tour feel like he was your best friend.
