Amazing Newport tour!

5.00Ella Rose was amazing! The tour had so much information and she made having fun on the tour a priority for her guests. The smaller tour bus made for a comfy ride, better visibility of the sights, and a unique tour experience. I've been on the larger tours in Newport and Ella Rose's tour was my favorite by far!
Definitely worth a go

5.00My husband and I are still talking about the fabulous Lady Ella Rose and her extraordinary Historic Scenic Tour Through Newport. We know a thing or two about Newport; this is our 12th time. We've been on other tours, but Lady Ella Rose is in a class by herself. As soon as we stepped into the bus, we were greeted by a warm and beautiful lady adorned in a gorgeous Gilded Age outfit. It felt like we were stepping back into time. She was engaging, personable and funny. Her energy was infectious. And her flawless knowledge of Newport and its history was impressive. She has an incredible memory to relay vast stories and information with a delightfully rich voice. If you're thinking about a tour, Lady Ella Rose is your person. 10/10. Also, after my husband and I left the bus on the way back to the parking lot, I realized I left my phone. My heart dropped. I was a bundle of nerves. By the time I walked back to the pick up spot, the bus was gone. I contacted Lady Rose, left a voice mail, and she called back immediately. She was extremely nice and went beyond the call of duty. She was already home, but went back to the bus to see if my phone was there. After a short time, she called back and told me she found it and would bring it to our B&B. I was beyond relieved and grateful. Thank you, Lady Ella Rose, for a wonderful tour and for saving me money and heartache to have to buy another phone. All the best for your business. Much love, Vivian and Quentin Tyler
