Excellent tour. However if you are on a cruise, make sure you are aware of the length of the tour with/without the breakers tour, in order to return timely to the tender. The description of the tour gives confusing lengths.

This was a great tour and a cool way to see the mansions in Newport and learn about the area's history. Our tour guide, Larry, had an almost encyclopedic knowledge of Newport and it was fun to hear his stories as we rode around. Our group chose to stop at the Breakers and as a fan of The Gilded Age, the house was fascinating. All in all, this was a great tour and I highly recommend it!

Great tour! Would definitely recommend. I was solo and had the morning in Newport and the is was the perfect way to spend it. Our guide was informative and fun and gave us so much history. The time inside The Breakers was just long enough and it was stunning!

Dominic was a great tour guide! The trolley was an exceptional experience. I didn't enjoy the Breakers as much as I thought I would. I wish there were more areas to explore. The staff was unfriendly, especially the woman that ran us out of the coffee shop when it was set to close in 5 minutes.

The trolley tour was absolutely fantastic. What a wonderful orientation to Newport and great sites and great “cottages” to behold. Dominic is one of the most excellent tour guides I have ever had. He was knowledgeable, he was witty, he was personable, and he kept us entertained the entire time. He represents your tour company extremely well. Five stars to Dominic.
