We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Experience RI for our wedding transportation! One of our biggest priorities was making sure our guests had easy, reliable, and safe transportation to and from our wedding, especially with our celebration taking place on Halloween night. We had so many guests traveling from out of town, including elderly family members who weren't comfortable using rideshare services, so having dependable transportation was incredibly important to us. Buddy was amazing to work with throughout the entire booking process! He was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and made everything so easy from start to finish. The drivers were professional, friendly, and punctual, and made sure all of our guests arrived at their destinations safely. Everything ran so smoothly, which gave us such peace of mind knowing our family and friends were being taken care of. We are so grateful to Buddy and the entire Experience RI team for helping make our wedding day such a wonderful experience for our guests. Thank you for being such an important part of our special day!

Buddy and team were incredible to work with! We used them for our wedding day transportation, and they were very communicative throughout the entire process. Couldn’t recommend them more!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!
