View on Google MapsMike was probably the best history tour guide I have ever had - super enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Everyone had a great time and we really felt like we had an insiders guide to Newport. Not only is he a history teacher, he also lives in Newport, so he knew the answer to every question and there was nothing we could not ask him. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about central Newport.
The buildings were interesting, as well as the general history of Newport. Our guide said this was just the second time she had led this walk, and many of felt she could have been more concise in her commentary. Worthwhile, nonetheless.
We were very impressed with our tour. It is an official tour by the Museum of Newport History, which is where it starts. You get the added benefit of 10% off gift items and free or discounted museum entrance at a few spots. Our tour guide was Patsy and she was an extremely knowledgeable and a fun tour guide. It was just the right amount of walking and a great history lesson.

Patsy Finaly was our guide for the Golden Age to Gilded Age walking tour and she was phenomenal! Her enthusiasm, knowledge and personality was incredible and was enhanced by her career background in theater. I was born and raised in Rhode Island and I can honestly say that I learned a great deal about the Newport that I have visited so many times.
Very knowledgeable!!!! It was very hot and our tour guide always made sure we stopped in the shade - very considerate. I highly recommend.
Elise was a fantastic guide! She even gave an on the spot history lesson on the prominent religions through the ages. She was engaging, fun, and very informative. We highly recommend this as a great overview of Newport history.
Highly recommend this tour! We’ve been to Newport many times and learned new things on this visit. Our guide, James, was very knowledgeable.
The tour was a great walking distance for all ages, full of very interesting information delivered in a manner that was easy to follow and fun to listen to as well. Patsy Finley was a perfect guide and we would recommend her to everyone. This tour is recommended to first time visitors as well as those of us familiar with Newport.
This walking tour was very informative and interesting! Elise, our guide, was very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions with details and anecdotes. I would definitely choose to do another tour and highly recommend this one to anyone interested in Newport’s early history. Based on Elise’s suggestions and information, we checked out some related sights in the city.
