Fun Way to Get to Know the City - Our tour guide, Spiderella, was friendly and knowledgeable. She was even able to share anecdotal stories locals had shared with her. I will say, although ghost stories were definitely told, the tour did feel a little more history heavy than ghost centered. Also, while I didn't think the walk was difficult, our guide made a point to warn us that it contained a hill, some narrow sidewalks, and some cobble stone, so that's something to consider depending on your mobility.

Great evening walking tour with knowledgeable guide - Spiderella was our guide for this tour. She was very friendly and told us a lot about the history of Newport as we walked to different destinations around town. She sprinkled in stories of ghostly encounters that have happened at each location as well. So it wasn’t scary, more historical and a great way to see the area! Highly recommend!
