5.00Wonderful tour of the Newport area. The guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out historic sites around Newport. The weather was cold but we were warm inside the boat. I would recommend this tour.

4.00We took this tour while visiting Newport on a cruise ship. The dock is located close to the tender pier. We booked late due to questionable weather but there was plenty of availability on a Tuesday afternoon. We enjoyed the cruise. It was very scenic and the narration was good. There were both covered and open areas as well as a snack bar. We recommend

4.00He’s a cruise itself was beautiful and very informative however, the tour guide should have been more in control of the group that was extremely drunk when they got on and continue to be very loud, keeping me and others from even hearing the tour guide! I rated this before because I love the sites but as far as the tour guide and the trip itself I can only rate it a 3. I have no doubt that this tour guide is amazing 99% of the time. I was just extremely disappointed to have paid so much and couldn’t hear anything. I know he heard them, but he failed to quiet them down, asking them to respect others that want to hear
Awesome experience!

5.00The tour was very enjoyable. Our guide pointed out many landmarks and provided historical facts about Newport and the gilded age of mansions.
Beautiful cruise of the bay, but not what I expected.

3.00It was a beautiful day, the ship, crew were all great. But, It was my fault, I thought it would take you behind the famous mansions along Bellevue Ave. I guess that would take too much time. The bay is pretty and interesting, but there is so much to do/see in Newport, I believe the time spent on the ship can be used more enjoyable. If you go on a weekend, be careful with the parking, they tell you to be there early for a reason. We missed our sailing time, but the nice lady was able to accommodate us on next sailing.
