5.00We took our housekeepers on this boat ride as part of our appreciation week. Cat helped us organize this trip. She was fantastic, and so was the staff on board. Everyone is friendly and easy to talk to. On the boat ride, they gave us a champagne toast, and the host was funny. He gave us a history of the Newport Harbor, I thought it was so entertaining. Thank you, Gansett Tours, you guys know how to serenade people!
