Phenomenal Newport City Tour - I purchased this booking for an excursion for my son and I while on a New England cruise. I am BEYOND happy I did!! It was worth every penny!! I think our guide was Steve (I’m sorry if not) and he was amazing!!! So personable, friendly and knowledgeable about Newport. My 8 year old said the guide was the best part lol. We had the electric vehicle and tour guide all to ourselves so it made the tour even more special. Newport is so beautiful and peaceful, and we got to see it in all its beauty doing this tour. Do it!!! It’s worth the money and you won’t be sad!

A Must Do: LSV “Lovely Scenic Venture” - First and foremost, STEVE - our 6’6” handsome tour guide. He was beyond knowledgeable, witty, flexible, and friendly. We really enjoyed all the extra stories too. It felt more like a relative sharing history than a memorized script. The vehicle- easy to get in and out of, comfortable, and cute as can be. The views- excellent and picturesque. We took lots of great pictures that our Florida friends envied. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour to any and everyone.

Fantastic guide and terrific time as she explained everything to us. Wonderful company - We had the best guide anyone could have had on such a trip. She was brilliant. She showed us the whole island and pointed out the other islands and the history. She ac tually went over her time as she took us to all three beaches on the island. We could not have had a better time or guide. Thank you for giving us a terrific time Jane and Gerry Canning

Terrific open air tour and insight - Fantastic tour guided by Steve. All of the sites were great we learned about out about who owns the big mansions stories about Jackie JFK Jay Leno CEOs of Merle Lynch and Oracle a lot of people with a lot of money and a lot of big mansions some you can see you can view around Ocean Drive and the fantastic, this tour is almost better than stopping by and seeing the mansions. The guide was very very knowledgeable because he lived locally and we learned a lot about the very interesting history of the whole place highly recommended.

Very nice but a couple things to note - This trip was enjoyable but not quite what I expected. I thought there would be more time spent stopping and getting out of the lsv but it was mainly just pointing things out as we drove which made it hard to get any good photos of the points of interest. Also the way I read the description I was under the impression a tour of a mansion was included but it was not we simply drove through a parking area for one where we could see a bit of the yard. I feel the description should more accurately reflect the mansion experience. Steven (I think? Sorry if I forgot!) was very kind and knowledgeable and dropped me at a different place upon my request so I could go take a mansion tour. Also I was the only guest on the tour so that made it feel nicer and more personable.

Super Suck! Book this if you want to be left hanging on the curb - I have done many golf cart tours through Viator globally, but this was the absolute worst experience. Nobody showed up, nobody answered texts or calls. Walked to the shop and the agent couldn’t find our reservation or reach the manager or driver. Viator support was also unable to reach anyone. Nobody followed up afterward. Appalling disregard for customer service, and very bad impression for our first day in Newport. Save yourself the hassle.
