Fantastic historical tour - We booked this tour with the expectation to learn about RI history and see as much of the state as we could, and this tour did not disappoint. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive to everyone’s needs. We saw breathtaking sceneries and learned about RI founding values of peace, hope and freedom to choose. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that loves history.
