Great tour of Newport - We had a fantastic experience. Russ, our tour guide and driver, was terrific. He was funny, knowledgable and very helpful. He went out of his way to help us - we have some mobility issues and after the tour he dropped us off near our restaurant. The tour itself was great. I highly recommend.

Great Experience! - Russell was amazing! He knew everything about everything and not only did he educate us on all the landmarks but also gave a ton of tips on food and transportation and parking! I actually recommend doing this one of your first days so that you can plan your itinerary around all the tips and tricks he gives you on the tour! Really great experience and surprisingly very cool considering we went in August! The open air was nice and we were really comfortable.

Best View of New Port - Carlos was knowledgeable, courteous and helpful! He narrated our tour constantly with interesting facts, pointed out unique landmarks and his comical wit made the experience even more enjoyable! Carlos even made recommendations for authentic dining. The open trolley was perfect for taking photos and it was a very pleasant ride (77 degrees and partly sunny) with the breeze flowing as we rode through this stunning town of New Port. My sister and I took the trolley ride that included admission to The Breakers Mansion, which was approximately 3 hours in its entirety. Perfect outing and the length of the tour was just right. If you are vacationing in New England it’s definitely worth the drive to New Port. Arrive 20-30 prior to your departure time in order to park and take a restroom break prior to your tour. I absolutely plan to return with more family members in the near future and do a longer tour including the cliff walk. I will definitely book with this company again! It was a lovely place to see and the service was great!!!

Newport Trolley with Breakers Mansion - This was to be an open air trolley, however since it was raining we appreciated the closed windows. Carlos was our guide who told us about the area and what he was going to do while we were at the Breakers for 90 minutes. He was very informative and personable. This is not suitable for travelers in a wheel chair or have difficulty getting up the steps to the seats. Carlos was patient and helpful with a party bedding assistance . This event is well worth the money for the experience .

Carlos was an excellent guide - It was a wonderful tour! Carlos pur guide was very knowledgeable about the history and current owners of mansions we drove by. Breakers was incredible to tour. I appreciated greatly how Carlos ensured everyone had a pleasant time and asked noisy passengers to lower voices so we could hear him easily.
