    Chris was great. Had a lot of cool stories. I enjoyed my day. Only thing we didn't get was the bottle of water. I will be taking the haunted tour.

    We had a great time learning about the "activity" in Newport! Chris is very knowledgeable and takes you to some really interesting places. There was so much information--I should have taken notes! It was a fun two-hour tour. We would definitely recommend!

    Chris was very knowledgeable! This was a really cool, informative tour about how the mob from other areas had so much power & corruption over Newport! Gave to my Husband as a Father’s Day gift the whole family enjoyed! Will go back this fall for the Haunted Covington tour!
