Traveler reviews
The trolley tour is a...
The trolley tour is a must! We learned so much about the mansions! And the driver Trolley Rob is great! A wonderful personality!!
Catch a ride with” Troy, the Trolley Driver”
Our driver was named “Troy, the trolley driver”. He was excellent! Extremely knowledgeable with a whole lot of humor which made for a wonderfully entertaining and interesting tour. Troy has all the scoop and back stories for all of the mansion homes we visited. I would definitely recommend Troy in this tour the next time you’re in Newport Rhode Island.
Great tour of the city...
Great tour of the city and the main attractions. Troy was knowledgeable and funny and kept everyone engaged. Would hight recommend this tour with Troy if you’re in town.
Newport for the Day!
Great informative tour with Trolley Rob! Lots of interesting facts given, with a little bit of humor too! The trolley itself was very comfortable! We would recommend this if you haven’t been to the area before and would also like to visit The Breakers Mansion. We enjoyed our self guided tour there on the beautiful estate! We could have used just a little bit more time there, but overall the day went perfectly! After the trolley tour, we had a nice walk around town and got lunch. Ron’s recommendation for pictures at The Forty Steps was a perfect way to end the day!
Nice overview of Newport!
It was a very nice overview of Newport, although It felt a bit rushed. I would have liked it to be longer.
