Not scary very fun - Two empty nesters looking for good clean fun and entertainment will enjoy this tour. There was light walking, a theatrical joke telling humorous guide, and interesting facts about the city plus ghosts if you believe. It wasn’t scary. It was a lot of fun and a great way to spend a few hours being entertained if you know nothing about Newport.

Sarah is a trooper - Sarah was great! She dealt well with the loud passing traffic, the rain halfway through, and then when we took shelter in somebody's porch. Near the grave Yard, -They came out to see who was on their porch, and Sarah graciously Apologize for our intrusion and the porch. Owner asked if they could listen in. All went well and we were very impressed.

Great way to orient to Newport - Took this tour as the first thing we did in Newport. Our guide Richard was really great at pointing out meaningful historic spots , which oriented us to the town and gave us ideas of how we might want to spent our quick two-day getaway. The next morning we did a self guided driving tour around the Mansion District which was a great compliment helping us decide how to spend our time wisely!

Ehh. Wouldn’t recommend - After the initial stories about the ghost ships. Did not think the story telling was very intriguing and felt like most stops was to show pictures that somebody else took. Definitely not worth the price

Disappointed in Newport - My wife and I were disappointed with this experience. We were expecting more historical detail from the region tied to paranormal stories. We heard a very scripted presentation short on any of those attributes typical of a ghost tour. While the guide tried hard to convince the group of ghostly history, the script fell flat and felt more like a comedy. None of the tour felt spooky.
