Had a great time. The bus driver was well informed, enthusiastic and funny. Tours of the mansions were terrific. I would highly recommend this tour.

Outstanding driver/tour guide. She obviously had a personal interest in the subject and in doing a good
job. Even with a full bus she was able to
accommodate us all and went out of her way to make
sure we all enjoyed the trip.

Excellent trip. Enjoyed it. It lasted a little bit longer than I would have liked, and would have liked to get back to town sooner.

Your Newport tour was great. A little more time at Marble House would have been better. We only had about 30 minute and it was not enough. Also more time at lunch was needed.

I would enjoyed touring one more cottage. The homes are absolutely breathtaking and Im glad I had the opportunity to visit.

My grandson and I enjoyed seeing the mansions and walking by the main street . We admired a small street but very picturesque and looked at the many restaurants. It was a beautiful day

bus driver Julie Ross a gem!
Reviewed by: bruce h., Ireland, October 2009
Definitely a good day trip. Would not recommend it after September because the homes close so early. We did not have time to really have a decent lunch and enjoy the area. We were rushed so that we could get to the homes. A good trip, but just not in October.
