We were looking for something fun and different to do in Newport since we had been there multiple times and came across this tour, the night before while doing a Google Search. I purchased the tickets online, and was excited to go! We got to Newport and Tom had both called and texted me to give him a call to go over our meet up spot. Tom is a super friendly and very knowledgeable owner/tour guide! The places that we went to to eat at were: 1. Harrys -where we got the DELICIOUS sliders; 2. Knot Norm's - where we had a salad and FANTASTIC Fish tacos; (Tom said that this place has THE BEST Lobster Rolls which we will have to go back and try another time), 3. The Reef - where we enjoyed eating the AMAZING Chickpea frites and the Clam Chowder and got to choose either a glass of wine or beer; 4. and Finally at Ben and Jerry's where we each got a small cone. We certainly had PLENTY to eat. My husband and I were planning to eat dinner in Newport, but we were so full from this tour, we waited until we got home. The only things that were different than the description about the tour was the following: 1. There was no Chicken meal and 2. There was no Gelato/Sorbet place, (Tom explained that sadly, both of these restaurants are no longer in business bc of Covid, so although we were disappointed by this, we understood) 3. There was no option to get a Lobster Slider at Harry's, (bc the price of lobster has gone up considerably). Tom told us that they do another Stroll in the wintertime, which sounds great and is something that we plan to go back and do! I really liked this tour and I highly recommend it, (and have already recommended it to my friends who plan to try it out)!
