The tour was great from start to finish. First of all the trolley is air conditioned which is definitely a perk! I also love how Rob, our local tour guide, gave us a good amount of the history of Newport and pointed out many of the historical and otherwise interesting buildings and landmarks throughout the city. It was so neat to see several houses along the way and hear about the wealthy people who own/live in them. The tours of Marble House and the Breakers were also fantastic. Both of the homes are well-preserved and beautiful and we had a full hour and a half at each mansion to do a walking tour. I also liked how there were restrooms, refreshments, and gift shops at each mansion. This tour is a must-do for Newport visitors!

So glad I booked with Viking Tours of Newport for my niece's 8th birthday adventure! On the summer day we picked is was rainy and muggy, so the trolley was a huge relief since it is enclosed with air conditioning! The fun seats, the views, and the driver, Ron, all kept my niece interested while us adults listened to the narration... who knew there was so much history and celebrity life in Newport!? There are a TON of cool things to learn! When booking our trolley ticket we opted for the bundle Viking offers with the Breakers Mansion tour. I HIGHLY recommend this as my niece was soooo excited to get off the trolley at the "biggest house" and see inside. BONUS: it us the only mansion with a children's tour - so it is a fantastic combo ticket if you travel with kids! The whole excursion was about 3 hours - just the right amount of time before we got hungry! Driver Ron suggested a nice restaurant with a kid friendly menu and it was the perfect way to end the tour. Since the weather was so bad, I reached out to the Viking office for further indoor suggestions in Newport for kids. Kirtley and her team really pulled through for us and within minutes we had a list of indoor locations to try! This went so above and beyond since their suggestions had nothing to do with their trolley. We finished our afternoon nice and dry at the arcade and having ice cream. We are all so happy with our experience, we must have smiled all day, despite the rain. We felt totally taken care of! I Definitely recommend Viking Tours when in Newport!
