Who better to tell the story of Newport's history than someone who has actually lived it? At Native Newporter Tours, visitors are assured they're getting the clearest, most comprehensive picture of the city and what it was like to live there now and in its heyday. A variety of tours are on offer, including a basic drive-by of the most popular attractions and more niche options like the Shutter-Bug, which is tailored to photographers looking for insider knowledge of the most striking scenery around. The company can also arrange for private excursions into the grounds of some of Newport's more exclusive residences or aboard a lobster boat.
