We had a great tour. Ann was knowledgeable, fun, and friendly and we learned a lot about Newport. The length of the tour was just right too. We definitely recommend!

Our guide Anne was extremely knowledgeable ,helpful and very informative. We were so happy that we booked this tour. She gave us a real feel for not only the mansions of the gilded age but for the city of Newport. We highly recommend her and Viking tours.

Ann was the best! Safely navigated while giving us plenty of opportunity to view each spot. She has all the best info & history & answered all questions! We even got to stop at a scenic overlook for a quick photo op! Thanks Ann!

The trolley was warm and comfortable even on a cold, grey, rainy day. Our driver/guide, Larry, was very engaging, informative, outgoing and friendly. His voice and articulation was clear. The volume was just right. He kept us entertained and was a wealth of knowledge. He knew all the sites to show us and he knew history behind them and told inside stories, even playing guessing games with us to try to get us to guess who the owners of the various homes were. Our scenic tour lasted 90 continuous minutes (no stops) and we were engaged the entire time with him telling us what we were seeing and pointing out details to us. Overall the tour was excellent!!

Great experience. Good opportunity to get an overview of Newport. Jimmy, our driver, was very knowledgeable and fun! We would have never known the information we learned without going on the tour.

Our trolley driver was excellent. Charming, informative and yet funny. We took the tour on the first day of our trip which got us a feel for the city.

Highly recommend the Viking Red Trolley Tour! Ray gave an excellent overview of Newport’s history, landmarks and culture. As a native Newporter, he provided personal experiences and insights over his lifetime. Great tour!
