Three generations loved it! - As a local family we had walked by the buildings on the tour many times, but Derek taught us so much history. Now we have to decide which haunted inn we want to stay in first...

Real stories of ghosts and pirates - Fun way to spend an evening in Newport! - Best ghost tour I've been on! This is not a gimmicky tour - it is packed with interesting information about Newport's history. Derek really knew his stuff - he clearly has a passion for history, and a love of the absurd and creepy. It was entertaining, but I also learned a lot I didn't know about the state I live in!
