The tour exceeded my expectations. Derek, our guide, was exceptional and incredibly knowledgeable. I would certainly recommend adding this to your list of must-do experiences in Newport.
I had a fantastic experience on this tour. Our guide was entertaining, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone could hear him while ensuring we all enjoyed ourselves. He answered all our questions and had a great sense of humor, which added to the enjoyment. The tour included numerous ghost stories, history about pirates, wars, and notable figures in the area. I highly recommend this tour over others.
There was a lot of walking, which I appreciated. I particularly enjoyed the combination of historical events and ghost stories shared during the tour.
Robert, our guide, was fantastic—a fantastic storyteller who made the experience both intriguing and enjoyable. His knowledge was impressive, and we had an amazing time. The hours flew by. I highly recommend this tour.
John, our tour guide, was truly exceptional. He provided fascinating insights and information. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Newport.
The guide was quite knowledgeable and provided an enjoyable way to spend the evening, particularly for those who are new to Newport.
There was a considerable amount of walking, but it was definitely worthwhile. The tour was both informative and enjoyable as we explored Newport, discovering the rich history of various buildings and properties. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the children found the ghost stories about the places we visited to be quite entertaining.
The experience was quite interesting and steeped in history, although it didn't have as many spooky elements as I anticipated. I would have preferred more ghost stories, but overall, we had a wonderful time. Our guide was very well-informed.
We appreciated that our guide shared not just ghost stories but also provided an in-depth look into the history, which we found very enjoyable.
Be ready to walk significant distances. It may seem clear, but one member of our group had to leave early due to difficulty with the walking. The 90-minute evening experience was delightful. Our guide, Robert, was both knowledgeable and enjoyable to converse with, sharing fascinating stories about the local area and its folklore. I highly recommend this tour and plan to book one of his daytime trolley tours for our return next year.
