Great tour of Newport.

5.00This was a great overview tour of Newport. We had never been to Newport before and this tour gave us a good chance to see a lot in the short amount of time we had for a shore excursion from our cruise ship. The driver/tour guide was very informative as well as personable and humorous. We got to see historic sites as well as scenic sites and many grand houses. The Marble house is a beautiful summer "cottage" to see.
Great way to see parts of Newport

5.00Relaxed way to see some lovely sights. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly & fun. You wondered around Marble House on your own but there were people to get information from. Would recommend.
Great way to start the trip!

5.00Dominic was our guide who imparted some great information in a clear and interesting manner. It was a great way to get an overview of the area so we could explore more on our own later. We opted for the Marble House tour combo. It allowed about an hour at the house which was just enough. If you want to spend longer, just let the driver know a you can easily catch one of the city buses and ride free back to the starting point!
Amazing Tour Guide!

4.00The tour is 3 plus hours if you include a house tour. I thought it was misleading to say it was a 90 minute tour.
