We just had a great tour in Providence! Our guide was excellent and very knowledgable about the history of the city, its founding, and the people who were important in its formation. We loved the pace of the tour, and we loved learning about the city this way!

Thank you so much! It is a small city, but one full of stories. I'm so glad it resonated with you and appreciate you supporting a small, RI-owned and operated business!

We had 3 generations together for this fabulous tour - and learned so much in the space of 90 mins. There is truly so much interesting history to Benefit St and our guide did an incredible job weaving together interesting stories that only scratched the surface of her knowledge. She has clearly put a tremendous amount of work into the research and narration that made the time fly. It was fascinating to understand the street's lasting impact on our world and city. I'd highly recommend for anybody who lives in Providence or has the opportunity to visit!
