The Newport food tour was amazing. Between the delicious plentiful food and the informative and interesting sharing of history, my adult daughter and I agree that we got more than our monies worth. It was a great time!

The gentle kindness of our tourguide, Sue was top notch! She was super knowledgable and available for side chats with more knowledge! And her interest in the history of the town was contagious! The food was great, my party each had different favorites! The walking distance was enjoyable, and local to the hub of the town. All around a great time!
