God spoke too quickly and without inflection in his voice. Also did not speak loudly enough. He was 45 minutes late picking us up from the breakers. This could have been a lovely tour. My group had been on a tour in Providence and the guide spoke loudly and slowly and drove more slowly pointing out more attractions. Our tour going to The Breakers was spoken in a conversational tone as though the busload had seen this place many times before when, for most of us, it was our first trip to this area. Driver was very prettiest, although he really did not seem to see this as a tour for first timers look up science experiments

We are sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your tour. We will try harder next time and make sure that our drivers keep to schedule as best as they can. Unfortunately, the traffic in and around Newport this summer has been heavier than usual. Once again, our apologies that you didn’t enjoy your time with us.

Dominick was excellent. Entertaining and informative. We came over to Newport for just 25 hours from BI and this was the perfect way to see the highlights in a short period of time. My whole family really enjoyed the tour.
