Great experience - Great tour - very interesting and informative!!! Renee was a wonderful guide, and the start/end at the MHT was a great idea - wish I’d known about it ahead of time so we could’ve planned to eat there after the tour.

Wonderful combination of walking, history, and stories - Kevin was fantastic-he combined history with storytelling and we enjoyed it immensely. His pacing, both in terms of walking and in terms of building suspense with different yarns about Newport, was exceptional. Would go again!
