The tour route was great. Our driver was very friendly. The mansions were really interesting. Only reason for the 3 stars is that we couldn’t hear the driver’s narration. Everyone except the people in the first couple of rows complained of this. The driver really try to accommodate us. He turned up the volume and tried speaking louder,. It was more the clarity. I think this was because of masking. So the whole 90 minute part of the tour we we’re driving by really interesting sights, but didn’t know what they were or their history. My advice is wait until masking requirements have changed. Then this will be an awesome tour although the seats were very uncomfortable.

Was expecting bad weather but booked afternoon 4 hr tour. Was not disappointed. We enjoyed the narrated trolley tour with Dominick very much. He was fun and informative. In addition, we booked a stop at both Vanderbilt mansions available. We had an hour at each mansion which allowed for enough time outside and inside. Dominick was personable and kept everything on time, too. As per RI rules, face masks were worn on trolley and in mansions.
