Trolley Rob kept me interested in the local history by being so passionate about what he's doing that it was great.

They left before our meeting time and said we were a no show. Spoke to a supervisor and said that is why they don't like to book with trip advisor because they prefer to do their own thing. Refused to come back to get us and refused to refund our money,

Update: This customer admitted in a new review posted on 8/12/22 that these disparaging remarks were intended for a Canadian company and it was a case of mistaken identity. However, Viator is not cooperating in removing it. We are in Newport RI, not Canada. Original response: You reviewed the wrong company. We've never had any 9am pickups from any cruise ships and our earliest tour begins at 10am. Nor did anyone with such a problem speak to anyone from our company. Please move your disparaging comments to our competitor's thread where they belong.

My husband and daughter have never been to Newport, RI so I thought this would the best way to experience it. Was I so ever right!!! Our driver, Rob was extremely informative and had a great personality! He made sure to narrate each highlighted spot and he even slowed down and pulled to the side of the road so we could take pictures. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that has never been to Newport, RI. We got in our car and retook the same route and it was a fun thing to do on our own too!
