I've taken tours and hop-on hop-off buses whenever I travel in the US or in other countries. Our guide was fabulous! I went on June 18, 2021. The driver was funny, sang a song, and gave us detailed history and stories of just about every place we visited in the 90 minute tour. I was leery about taking this tour to start with, thinking what could he show me that I couldn't do myself. I was completely wrong and highly recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful, informative tour guided by Carlos. Learned a bit we didn't know about President Eisenhower and his summer White House as well as President Kennedy and his wedding and summer White House. Didn't see Jay Leno or Judge Judy but did see their houses.

It was a beautiful sunny day when I left Worcester Mass but as soon as I crossed the bridge headed to Newport it dropped 24 degrees and you could barely see 50 ft in front of you because of the fog. So the tour was pretty much about looking at shadowy objects through the fog. I had my 92-year-old grandmother who had never seen Newport and wanted to show her a great time. She couldn't see anything and are hearing isn't all that great so she didn't hear much either. In the future I think there should be updates on the website some people don't waste their time and money. There wasn't even an offer for a rain check or anything
