Troy was a wonderful guide. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. We loved visiting the Breakers. We would love to come back to Newport for a longer visit.

I prefer a person guided tour over a narrated tour any day. Newport did not have streets signs posted at all streets which made navigation from point to point difficult. Had to use Google maps to find locations.

Lovely, historic town. The directions in the guided walking tour were so easy to follow and we really enjoyed learning about the area.

Had not planned to go to Newport on our trip through New England but had some extra time after visiting Hyannis and before we went to Boston. Beautiful town on the water. Drove around and saw White Horse Tavern and drove by some of the mansions (Marble House, The Breakers). Looked like a walkable place. Geez, wished we had made plans to stay a night or two there. Lots of history and looked like a lot has been preserved.

We stopped in a neighborhood we had not seen and enjoyed a lovely latte and breakfast al fresco. We people watched and just savored being in this cute neighborhood
