Fun Adventure Through Newport

Published on Dec, 2024

Great tour and like others said, the set up was a bit of a pain but it all worked out. The narration was great and we learned a lot about Newport along the way.

Excellent

Published on Dec, 2024

It worked really well, guiding from place to place. I've been disappointed with other similar tours in the past, but this one was good.

Great tour! Didn’t work...

Published on Nov, 2024

Great tour! Didn’t work well with Waze, but using the app for directions and stories worked well. Many opportunities to pull over for photos and lots of interesting information about the area.

Don't Miss Ocean Drive !!

Published on May, 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed this GORGEOUS drive along the ocean!! In fact, so much so, we drove it more than once. The first time we did the drive, it was on a Viking Trolly Tour of Newport. This was fabulous because your driver tells all about the area you are seeing, points out summer homes of the famous and other tidbits of information. Then we drove it a couple of more times because of the beauty. It is self guided so you can stop anytime you wish for as long as you wish. Beautiful photo ops everywhere!!! Don't miss this if you are in the Newport, RI area!!!

Great self guide

Published on Feb, 2024

Excellent self guided tour. Was easy to use and the navigation was spot on. The description of the POI was nice as well. I would use this again for other cities.
