5.00Our tour guide was fabulous, she was very knowledgeable but did not give too much historical information. The restaurant selection was varied & very good! The cost of the tour was well worth it based on the amount of food you’re served. Would definitely recommend this tour!

5.00Directions for where to meet were clear and a text update made sure we knew what was happening. We enjoyed the food and got a taste of the history of Newport. The walking wasn't hard--but we did cover more than just the couple of blocks between the starting point and the ending point! Don't eat much before this tour!
Really enjoyable!
