Fun fact tour - The tour guide was extremely educated and made the tour very interesting. We all learned a lot of fun facts a long the way. We all felt that the appearance and cleanliness of the van could have been better.

Great historic experience - Fun and interesting tour. Chris took us to all different locations in Newport to round out our Cincinnati history tour weekend. Loved that it was a personalized experience and the recommendation for dinner afterward was outstanding.

Mob Tour - I enjoyed the tour immensely. Chris, our guide, was a wealth of knowledge and appeared passionate about the history of Newport. The tour included his oral presentation, visuals, and actual stops of many of the notorious locations of mobster activities. Chris was also very tolerate of our many questions. I will definitely recommend this tour to friends and will book another tour in the future---a ghost tour!

Enjoyable, enlightening, very satisfied. - Chris the owner of the business (River City Tours) was a very knowledgeable and pleasant person to listen to. Even though I had some awareness and knowledge of certain events he really brought life to it. I would highly recommend this tour. They also have a ghost tour of haunted sites. I think I plan on going to that also. We also really appreciate driving around and discussing history, as opposed to walking so much as we both have difficulty doing that.
