Great intro - This is a great drive in a clean and comfortable bus around Providence. I’d never been here before. You don’t see much in depth but the tour guide is very knowledgeable and can help you figure out what you want to go back to on your own. The pick up point has public restrooms and a nice visitors center. I’m all set to go out and see Rhode Island!

Perfect for Province, RI Newcomers - Being a RI newbie, this tour allowed me to get to know the city of Providence in general. Ted, our tour guide was fantastic. I could tell he really loves the city of Providence and of course the history. In this tour you are able to see and hear about pivotal parts of Providence as well as stretch your legs and see some amazing sights.

Decent tour hits all the important landmarks - Short tour but hit all the major stops. 1 hour 45 minutes. A few stops for pictures and check out the area. Small passenger van was comfortable and ample windows to see the sights. Worth the price. I’d go again and recommits tour.

General overview of Providence - If you are Italian American, you might start to feel a little uncomfortable as the guide’s enthusiastic (gleeful?), graphic depiction of Providence’s Italian American criminal past goes on for an inordinate length of time. Since the guide claimed to be a history buff, he might have provided a little balance by mentioning that William Paca of Italian descent was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and that Thomas Jefferson’s assertion that “all men are created equal” was inspired by the writings in Italian by his friend Philip Mazzei.
