Best of Newport Tour

Your tour will begin with pick up directly from your hotel in Newport or downtown Providence.

You will marvel at the intricate European-inspired architecture and decor and learn about the families who once lived there. Next, enjoy a relaxing boat ride aboard the Gansett Cruises Harbor Tour as the day begins to fade into the evening. The timing couldn’t be more perfect as the heat of the day begins to cool with a calming breeze. While onboard, you can enjoy a selection of complimentary local refreshments, including coffee ice cream, shakes, and lemonade. After the cruise, we will take you on a scenic drive through Newport while sharing fun, historical facts along the way to Fort Adams. Here you will learn about significant American military history, dating back to the 1800s while enjoying a nice view over the bay. At the end of your tour, your guide will bring you back to your hotel in Newport or downtown Providence.
