Great afternoon in Providence! - Completely enjoyed our tour, learning more about prohibition (did not realize it lasted over a decade), visiting several terrific establishments for adult beverages and walking around Providence. Great way to spend an afternoon!

Look Before You Commit - We enjoyed the tour and our guide was very, very knowledgeable. The walking length was just over a mile, over easy terrain, and there were comfortable stops, where we could sit, along the way. We were a small group of just four adults. We feel that it could be a better tour by making the website easier to find with complete explanations. We chose to Uber and it was a good decision as we started at the Hotel Providence(who didn't know that a tour was meeting there!) and ended in another part of town at Plant City. It would have been at least another mile to get back to where we started. We enjoyed the pretzel and the chicken sandwich, but we had no food with the wine tasting. In fact, we had three different wines poured into the same glass! No rinsing of our glasses or clean glass offered. We also found the vegetaran (mushroom) pizza to be unsatisfactory. I am temporarily on crutches and had to be careful of uneven surfaces and cracks in the sidewalk. Otherwise, I kept up. However, our guide chose to walk and talk with the other couple while my husband and I walked without his expertise.
