Open Air Tour was the Best way to see Newport! - The open air Trolley was delightful. The guide was knowledgeable and took us around Newport showing the highlights as well as giving us tips on shopping and restaurants. The Breakers tour was really enjoyable & thorough. We had 1.5 hours for the tour and to wander the property and the sea walk. After, he dropped us at a pier where we went and had a lobster roll and were able to walk around. It was a perfect day & by far the best way to see Newport.

Terrific Tour - An outstanding way to see the sights in Newport. Our driver, Russ, was knowledgeable and informative. When touring the mansions area he tied a lot of his description into the popular HBO series “The Gilded Age”, much of which takes place in Newport. Some was filmed here as well. For those who’d seen the program it made some of the sights feel familiar. His presentation of the historic sights were interesting with a bit of humor added that helped hold everyone’s attention. All in all a great tour. Highly recommended.

Touring Newport - It was an open air trolley so it’s going to be windy and cold on sunny days that you think will be warm (sunny and 68 degrees)…so bring a jacket, just in case. The tour guy was very informative and knowledgeable and gave a lot of tidbits. This was great for a quick weekend to see what Newport RI has to offer. We didn’t rent a car so this hit all the spots we wanted to see.
