Voices of Resilience: Hidden History of Providence Tour
History Comes Alive
Dillon was our tour guide and we learned a lot from him. He was able to share Rhode Island's history and information on some of the "under dogs" who helped shape this great state. The tour was interesting and Dillon was fantastic!

Providence East Side Sights and Stories Guided Tour
Great way to learn tons about Providence
The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. He clearly loved the city and sharing its unique and colorful history. The van provided for the tour was clean and new and was a great way to cover a bigger area of the city vs just walking. Also on a hot day it was a treat to be offered AC and complimentary cold water! Definitely take this tour!
