It was great to find this open air trolley in Newport. Weather was cloudy and chilly but I like the concept of open air wherever I travel. The guide stopped in all the right places and announced the stops beforehand so I could point and shoot. The mansions in Newport are all gems to see and open air is the only way to go!

I have been to Newport several times, but never took this tour. I am so glad that I did. They explained more history and interesting facts about Newport than I had known. I actually will visit some of the places mentioned on the tour. I hadn't realized all the history and the fun facts around Newport. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that is either new to Newport, or had been there several times.

An open air trolley concept in Newport is long overdue. This is the way to see Newport's beauty! We took this tour last weekend and were very satisfied. Our driver was prompt and enthusiastic and we were able to take some amazing photos of the Newport sites and mansions we passed. The trolley was clean and comfortable too.
