Excellent Choice in Newport! - This was a great tour! Trolley Rob was informative and fun. Everything ran efficiently, as some of us were dropped off at the Breakers with sufficient time to tour the home and grounds before continuing the trolley tour. We were part of the cruisers in town that day and had originally considered the free bus, but this tour was reasonably priced and worth every penny! Excellent value!

A great way to visit Newport and the Breakers - A beautiful day with no crowds in Newport. Our group was all accounted for early so off we went with Troy, an experienced, friendly guide who shared a wealth of info while at the same time adding his own sense of humor. The trolley was very comfortable and Troy managed the sometimes narrow streets with no problem at all. Would recommend that anyone visiting the mansions download the app for audio tours and bring needed devices for a video tour of the mansions visited.

Great tour - Tour guide was fun and provided interesting information. Wouldn’t have needed as much time at the Breakers mansion but it worked out.

Simply amazing! - Oh my goodness! This was so much more than I expected. Our driver, Trolley Troy was so knowledgeable and funny (so much better than Rob, lol, j/k) Troy made me say that!! He spoke slowly and clearly. The Breakers tour is a must see.

Great way to see the mansions - We enjoyed both the trolley tour (Troy) and The Breakers mansion. It was very easy to find the pick up spot and the trolley was clean and the driver friendly.

Great intro into the Guilded age - Our trolley tour guide was awesome. He was funny, entertaining, and a wealth of knowledge. Not to mention an incredible driver in general. The weekend we visited there was a car show and an Italian festival, so Newport was overrun with crowds, yet he navigated the narrow streets and crowds with ease. This was a great introduction into the history of Newport. You were able to get to see and hear a brief history of landmarks and decide what you wanted to go back and see on your own timeline, except for the Breakers which you were given 1.5 hrs to see. It was a beautiful and informative tour that I would do again.

Short changed - First part was good. The driver was great. However the Breakers was hosting a car show so the grounds were off limits (we were given 90 mins to explore grounds and mansion) The mansion was so busy never seen much. After about 20 mins we gave up and walked back. Very disappointed. Had we known the car show was on and grounds are off limits I would not have gone on this trip. So paid for three people for basically a ride to the Breakers I could have got for $150 less.
