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!
