It was fun enjoyable and learned a lot about Rhode Island. The tour operator who drove the bus was very funny. He like to play trivia games with group broken up by state.

We only had one day in Rhode Island, so this tour was the best use of our time. The only disappointment was so few sites in Providence were on the tour. But we very much enjoyed the places we saw. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the state and of each site we visited. This tour was very enriching.

2nd September 2023. An 8hr Rhode island in a day tour was booked and paid for. Advertised as comprising a total of 8 different stops with each stop allowing guests to alight for different periods of time. But not today. Today the bus had been double booked for a wedding. The last 3 stops were simply drive bys and 2 hours straight on the bus in order to get the bus back in time for the wedding. Now I doubt the wedding was rush booked in the last couple of days so I really don't see why someone's else's happy event should impact whatsoever on the advertised itinerary and twenty or so passengers. A big fat 1/10. The driver and guide was called Ted and to his credit he was very knowledgeable, informative and witty. But the tour did not provide the service it had advertised. And that's bad. Very bad. So to anyone else thinking of booking a trip, perhaps you might want to contact the tour operator and make sure the bus isn't needed later in the afternoon for a wedding/barmitzvah/funeral/cat's birthday..as all these will apparently take precedence over your paid for tour.

This trip was the highlight of my stay in Providence. Our guide, Ted, was informative and engaging. His knowledge of Rhode Island's history is incredible, and his enthusiasm for this beautiful state shines through. There were frequent stops for lunch, photo opportunities, and toilet breaks. I can not recommend this tour highly enough.

This was an amazing trip. We were able to see a lot of Rhode Island and heard lots of facts and history about the state and specific towns. I highly recommend going on this if you want to see more than just downtown Providence.

Ted's extensive knowledge of RI's history and culture made the tour not only a pleasure but a great learning experience.

We had an awesome time with Ted . He was informative and entertaining. We saw so much during the tour and he gave us plenty of opportunities to stop and take pictures. We loved it!

Ted was a great guide and has a lot to information to share about providence and Rhode island. We had a fabulous time. The only thing I would point out is that the company should not expect the tour guide to pick up a bride and groom as their transport did not make it at the cost of the guest experience. As this happened out tour was delayed by almost an hour and by the time we reached the sweet berry farm the shop and farm had shut so we were not able to experience the beautiful farm.

We had a grand time for the whole day tour. Ted was “wicked good” and very knowledgeable of the place and it’s history. There is so much to learn on this beautiful place and all information was compressed to an 8 hr tour. We had enough time for pictures, shopping, and food search. We highly recommend this tour to everybody who wants to explore and learn about RI in one day. Thank you very much and more power to you, Ted!
