Great tour - We learned a lot about Providence on this tour. Ted was very knowledgeable about the history and facts of the city. He not only talked about our stops but shared history in between the stops. He also had an amazing memory of where his passengers were from and quizzed and scored them during the tour - yea NY! Thanks Ted for a great tour.

Pleasant tour - We were looking for something to do in Providence and decided to take the Discover Providence Guided Sightseeing Tour. There is no parking close to where the tour begins so we did not get to the bus until 5 minutes before the tour began. Once we were on the bus, things went well. We enjoyed the guide's narrative and the stops were also great.

The tour was canceled that morning - I was advised the morning of the tour that it was canceled due to lack of bookings for it. I was given the opportunity to reschedule for later in the day, but was told it would probably be canceled, too, for lack of other bookings.
