Bring along some water. I met other single travelers and connected with them for the day . Tour driver Ted was truly enjoyable, filled with facts and stories . He made the day pass quickly with some trivia questions and engaging with all the people .

I made travel plans to Rhode Island and was looking for something fun to do during my stay. I saw the Tour Rhode Island in One Day online with high ratings and decided to book a date, and glad I did. The tour guide was engaging and provided both historical and fun facts. It was great to check out all the cool places in one day without doing the driving. I recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Ocean State.

This was a most wonderful and informative tour - kudos! My wife and I have been to Providence and Newport many times, but not to the entire state of Rhode Island. And our tour guide managed to give us an excellent tour, despite the rainy weather.
