Such Interesting Stories - This is an excellent overview tour of Newport. Our tour guide was Rob Trolley, a name he chose that illustrates his great sense of humor, which made the narration easy to keep focused on. He also did a super job of interacting with passengers. I would definitely recommend for both Newport first-timers and multiple-returnees like us. Such interesting stories!
