Informative tour, very friendly staff The tour was very informative and covered the most beautiful parts of Providence. The guide was knowledgeable and didn’t rush. In fact, he took a bit longer. I would highly recommend this tour to start your stay in the area.

Rhode Island in a Day Tour Best tour ever! Our tour guide, Ted, was very knowledgeable, and had lots of stories to share. He engaged all of us in the tour with questions and conversation. I’ll definitely take another tour or two with Experience RI! We experienced the west bay and the east bay of Rhode Island Andes real stops in between. Great day!

Great way to see Providence The pick up location was well marked in downtown Providence and a representative from the company was there 30 minutes before the tour was going to start checking people in and directing them to the rest rooms. The bus pulled up 15 minutes before the tour started and our drive/guide, Phil, invited us to board early if we wanted. The tour started promptly at 11 am and could not have been any better! Phil was an excellent driver, able to navigate with ease, the ever changing road closures due to construction along with the narrow streets in various places on the tour. Not only was Phil knowledgeable about his city, he was passionate about every aspect of it, being a third generation resident. He was witty and always open for questions. We got off the bus three times which was lovely and he recommended dining establishments and other things for us to return to later in the day. (We came back later to Little Italy and made delicious purchases at the Italian deli and French bakery he recommended). I would highly recommend this tour both from its content, and the excellent driver guide who is an asset to this company and the hospitality industry in which he has chosen to work!
