Italian Food Walking Tour and Gondola Our tour guide Brayden was wonderful as well as our driver Joel. The Italian Walking Tour was enjoyable to sample delicious Italian cooking at family run restaurants while learning about Providence. The gondola ride with Marcelo was definitely a highlight!

A Perfect Little Day Trip Rhode Island might be the smallest state in the US, but thanks to our guide Jon this was officially the smallest biggest tour! His local pride and massive knowledge proved that the best things really do come in small packages!

Experience RI was absolutely fantastic for our wedding transportation. From start to finish, they made everything easy, stress‑free, and incredibly budget‑friendly — which we deeply appreciated during wedding planning. Our driver was punctual, professional, and so friendly, helping the day run smoothly without a single hiccup. And Buddy, who handled all of our booking details, was truly exceptional. He was responsive, patient, and on top of every question and adjustment we threw his way. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for reliable, friendly, and affordable wedding transportation, Experience RI is the team you want.

Great history of Rhode Island Clearer instructions exactly where to meet. I didn't know there was a sign on the sidewalk to designate where to meet the tour. John was our tour guide. He was very informative with lots of history and personal experiences in the area. John was helpful in suggesting other areas to visit & he recommended places to eat. Our group enjoyed the tour very much

Far better than competition Our guide was Phil and he was excellent. Very informative and packed a lot of sightseeing and very interesting talks into the nearly two hour tour in a large air conditioned van with 23 other people. Went on a tour by a competitor (Providence East Side Sights and Stories Guided Tour) the day before and there is no comparison. This was hands down better in all respects.

Excellent tour, guide, and education! This was a great experience. We were able to see a lot of RI, learn about the history, culture and landscape while relaxing and letting someone else drive. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. There were many stops on the way to take photos and tour around, so it never felt like we missed anything. I highly recommend this tour!

Thank you Ted for a top notch tour of all things Rhode Island today specifically in the Rhode Island in a day tour. We visited several towns and all were lovely. I also appreciated the wealth of history that Ted told all of us about on the tour. He made this tour very enjoyable and also has a nice sense of humor. I would recommend this tour or any of the other tours of Explore Rhode Island. Thank you so much!

A Thorough Rhode Is Tour We really enjoyed Ted, our tour guide. A RI native, his love for Providence was evident throughout the bus tour. Lots of opportunities to get off and get closer to explore and take pics. No rushing. We learned so much about the Ocean State! Ted gave everyone their 8 hours-worth! Highly recommend.
