Susan, our tour guide, was excellent and informative about Newport’s history. The food however, was horrible. The first stop was a burger joint with decent sliders. The next was a southern-style restaurant with KFC-like chicken. The third was a school cafeteria quality pizza place. The “dessert” stop, was regular french fries topped with whipped cream. The final cocktail stop was at a divey Irish pub where our drinks were served in little plastic cups. Of all the wonderful restaurants in the beautiful classy town of Newport, I was extremely disappointed in 4 of the 5 places (I enjoyed the sliders). Again, Susan was so sweet and she was phenomenal as a tour guide. I just wish my $60-$70 went towards better food.

I am so disappointed to learn that you were not pleased with our restaurant stops. Our restaurants have been so well received by the majority of our guests. Our chicken stop has been rated fantastic by the Phanton Gourmet. Our pizza received global reviews at an international convention in Las Vegas. Our dessert stop has also received rave reviews. Our pub stop does serve alcohol in plastic cups for safety reasons as we were sitting on the outdoor patio. We are always striving to improve our business and thank you for your criticism.
