The driver,tour guide was very knowlegdeable of the area, besides the standard information of the tour he also cited several books regarding the area. When asked about restaurants in the area he provided multiple options for different dining expiriences. My wife and I will return to Newport with sites we want to spend more time visiting. I would highly reccommend the tour for general info on the area or as we did use it for a scouting visit to see if you would like to see more.

After researching both tours, we headed to the Newport Welcome Center and bought the Best of Newport Plus, 9o minutes at the Breakers and the tour around Newport. Our trolley was an ugly old red thing, with open air seating in the back. It was a very enjoyable ride. Russ, our tour guide did an exceptional job re-routing us to avoid the Jazz Festival crowds. He was quite informative and did a great job although he had a tough audience and extra traffic issues. These guides deserve their tips!! Although we had a rental car, we would not have known anything about the beautiful mansions and area we were in. We always opt to take a tour, then head out on our own after getting the lay of the land and the guide's informed suggestions. 90 minutes was a perfect amount of time to spend at the Breakers. Please note, there are bathrooms in the basement- so try to avoid the porta johns!

This made a very good intro to the area with history when we had never been here before, and helped us decide which mansions we wanted to actually go through later. Guide was informative and enthusiastic.
