Came to Newport for the weekend for our anniversary and booked this food tour. Because it was the last tour of the season, my boyfriend and I were the only ones who had registered and we got an amazing private tour by Tom. We did about 2 hours of tastings and walking. Tom was very knowledage about Newport and showed us various historical sites, buildings, grounds of The Elms mansion, the waterfront, etc. He had so many interesting stories and welcomed all of our questions. Our tastings were all delicious and we could tell that Tom felt confident about the quality of the places he took us to. We got to meet the owners/staff at the different restaurants and get background history of the restaurant and food as well. Tom really went out of his way to make our tour special and took the time to get to know us. We would definitely recommend attending one of Tom and Susan's tours in Newport!

We had a wonderful tour guide - Morgan - who Took us to some hidden gems in Newport. The restaurants were all excellent as was the food, and they were all off the beaten path of Newport. Choice of food appealed to everyone and the alcohol choices offered a nice variety. Morgan’s personality made the tour very enjoyable as she had a nice way of making everyone relaxed for the 3 hours. I would recommend this tour to locals as well as out of tourists !!
