The Trolley Tour was excellent. Our tour guide (Ann I think with 10 years of experience) was so informative, professional, funny and attentive to everyone. We had a great tour and loved how she explained everything, stopped a couple of times for photos and views, we all loved it and especially her.

The tour was very informative. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable! Well worth the money!!

Linda_M

Guide was very nice. Information interesting. Glad for the stop to stretch. However, would have preferred an hour with no stop.

Jeffrey_H

St. Mary’s Church and the large homes. We have been on several tours in different cities and this was the worst. We didn’t appreciate him quizzing, some of his facts were not true and couldn’t understand him.

Karina_L

Dominic is a great guide! He was funny, knowledgeable and he even extended the tour with a stop after the hour to take pictures and enjoy the waterfront view! There’s so much history here and he really knows it! Highly recommended!

Ray was excellent. He’s a native of Newport and knows the history of the area and also a previous history teacher.

Tmclemons

A great overview of Newport history, historical sites and scenery. Our guide was terrific and provided a plethora of information on the city and the Mansions along the coast and in town. Highly recommended. You should do this tour early in your visit if possible.

Great guide and tour. Having a local Newport guide made a huge difference for me. The trolly was wonderfully restored.
