Great tour - Your was a lot of fun. Our tour guide was able to engage a group of about 40 people which was impressive. She had some great stories…don’t think we saw any ghosts but it was a good time.

The guy who gave the tour... - The guy who gave the tour (John) was great (absolutely loved the mustache)! The stories and history were very entertaining. Our favorite part was the cemetery and I loved when he gave out the toys and photos.

Great time on our ghost adventure - Sara was both informative and fun as she lead the tour. We learned a lot of history of Newport and had a great time. Sara was both respectful and a pleasure to have as a hostess for the tour.

Ghost tour - Stories were wonderful and engaging! Such history for a small place! Wish a longer tour was an option.

Worth it - Tour guide was funny and had interesting information. Saw the historic district up close with interesting tales about the various sites. It took over an hour but was a pleasant walk in nice weather. The tour guide was a performance artist who raised the experience over the usual ghost tour stuff.

I got ghosted - Very nice walk and talk. Not spooky but informative. Guide encouraged us to take pictures to see if we could catch any phenomena. Some people believed and some did not, but all enjoyed I think.

Details - Guide was very informative and colorful. Found it frustrating to search for where to go as confirmation and info came late. Also had to pay for Parking in addition.

More of a History Tour - While our tour guide was knowledgeable and well spoken, it really wasn’t a ghost tour. I do like to have history on the tour, there was only 2 or so ghost stories and the tour was longer than planned. Longer is good if it involves ghosts.
