 Verified A Day of Wonder
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an unforgettable day with Experience Rhode Island! We just got home from the most amazing day exploring Rhode Island with our wonderful guide, Ted! This was my second tour with him, and every time I go, I learn so many new things. His knowledge and enthusiasm make the experience truly special. We visited Roger Williams Park, explored the museum and planetarium, and had an absolute blast on the swan boats. Just when we thought the day couldn’t get any better, we experienced WaterFire—such a beautiful and moving event! Our grand finale was the incredible pumpkin-carving exhibit at Roger Williams Park Zoo. What a fantastic way to end a day filled with discovery, laughter, and wonderful memories! Ted, you truly outdid yourself! Thank you for an outstanding tour. I can’t wait for the next adventure with Experience Rhode Island!

 Verified Good
Extremely bumpy ride. Too much time spent on things I could have skipped and not enough time on things I enjoyed (time in Newport, etc). Also, sometimes, waiting in line to use the restroom took up the majority of the stop time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a great tour! It was a good length of time, the driver and guide both did a great job. They were ready for pick up when they said they would be. The bus was clean and comfortable. It was also a nice blend of being driven and walking.

 Verified The Best Of Providence
It was easy to find the meeting place in the Rhode Island Convention Center by the information booth. The driver/guide was named Ted. He was spectacular. I do not know how he learned all the information he told us. He gave us a little quiz during the tour, which was fun. Providence is a beautiful historical city that I would never have learned about without this tour. Thank, Ted!

 Verified Great city tour!
This tour was a great way to see city highlights. The meeting point was next to the Omni (where we are staying) . The driver and guide were excellent and the bus very comfortable. We stopped a few times to get out and look around. The first stop was near bakeries, so if you need a snack get it on the first stop! We went to an Italian bakery and took dessert home to our hotel. We’d recommend this to others visiting the area!

 Verified 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!
