4.00Very good. Wish there was a little more history on each house. Directions were great. Everyone should get this.
Don’t just “drive around” - be informed.

5.00Download while connected to WiFi for easy use of app and Newport tour. Audio was easy to use and informative. Coastal Drive highlights are included with overview of mansion row. Tip- use later in the day after mansion tours close so you are not dodging pedestrians or busy traffic.
Not worth it.

1.00Must be traveling in only one direction. Stories do not keep going unless you pull over which is often not practical. Not a ton of info provided to be worth $. We have used a travel guide app several times in the past and had high hopes for this tour. Disappointed.
It was very helpful and...

5.00It was very helpful and informative. Really liked when we missed a turn, the voice would notify us to go back. Certainly better than riding in a trolley on a chilly day.
Excellent tour guide and experience. I wish I had a memory like Troy!! lol
