We've done a lot of tours in a lot of towns. Luca was top notch and really knew his stuff.. He kept it fun and interesting but wasn't too over the top. Luca has a bunch of laminated pictures to pass around to add to the stories. We covered a lot of ground and he was quick to point out changes in terrain and other hazards. Pretty sure my whole group would do the same tour again no problem. Street parking was pretty easy to find.

Luca was amazing! A very knowledgeable and articulate tour guide. He really loves his work. We learn so much about Newport ghosts and we would never have been able to acquire from our own Adventures. Thank you, Luca!

This was fun, although we didn't see any ghosts, our tour guide Luca was fun and entertaining. We did learn some interesting facts and history of Newport.

A handful of co-workers and I were in town for a conference, and decided to take this tour. We had Joe as our guide. He was quite knowledgeable about the area and the spooky goings-on from history. We didn't "see" a ghost, unsurprisingly, but I appreciated that Joe straddled the line between a skeptic and a believer. He gave us the info, and we were able to make of it what we will. I enjoyed the tour! It was nice to get outside even on a somewhat brisk evening. Regardless if any of the stops were haunted, I learned a lot about local Newport history. It definitely made me want to come back, and explore more of the old histories associated with the area. Bring walking-shoes because I definitely got my steps in that night! But it wasn't over the top.
