We appreciated our friendly tour guide Tom who gave us some nice local history. The food we had was tasty but we were hoping for more authentic Newport food featuring seafood, etc. The restaurants we went to were more of the touristy type. You can get a hamburger anywhere and that was our first stop ( although it was delicious). The fish taco was tasty but probably frozen mahi mahi that was deep fried, not the fresh fish one could certainly get in Newport. This tour was more budget friendly so maybe this was the food that met the budget. We did walk about 2 1/2 miles which was great considering the amount of food we ate.

Thank you for joining us, we love introducing our guests to Newport's hidden gems. Regarding your review, we would like you to know that the restaurants on our tour are the best, off the beaten path, Newport. The only seafood offered is the mahi mahi as it is a very mild fish and too many people are allergic to shell fish, which of course, we have to be very dilligent about. The mahi mahi is fresh daily, you may have noticed how smail this restaurant is, nothing is frozen, everything is brought in fresh every day. The burger is a great new stop and so very popular, we are so lucky to have them on our tour.
