This is a must do! We took this 90 minute open air trolley tour on Saturday 9/24/22 and we were extremely satisfied. It was a beautiful 70 degree low humidity day and our guide was the best! The vintage trolley was open air and comfortable. The guide Russ was humorous and knowledgeable.We learned so much info about Newport's past and present. I will do this same tour again when I return next season. A must do!

Viator did not synchronize correct time with the tour bus!! Panic set in, especially sunce the parking options are limited and we could've been fined $40!! Luckily the tour company was sympathetic and placed us on a combined bus for a later tour. Will NOT book using Viator ever again! We lost 1 hour of our trip!

The synching issue has since been fixed and it's safe to book on Viator. This open air tour is a new addition to our line-up and this customer was one of the first bookings before the "bugs" were fixed in the booking app.
