Our guide, John, was extremely knowledgeable on historical facts and also very entertaining. He made our day fun and memorable.
We really enjoyed Ted, our tour guide. A RI native, his love for Providence was evident throughout the bus tour. Lots of opportunities to get off and get closer to explore and take pics. No rushing. We learned so much about the Ocean State! Ted gave everyone their 8 hours-worth! Highly recommend.

Ted was very knowledgeable about everything Rhode Island. He made the whole day fun and entertaining. This tour is a must do if it's your first time in the state.
Thank you so much, Arlynn! Loved having you with us on our Rhode Island in a Day tour!
They were kind and very helpful
So glad you enjoyed our Rhode Island in a Day tour!
Absolutely amazing day with Ted! He was so knowledgable and helpful! The only issue we had was finding the meet up place! We were there promptly 15 minutes early and there was no sign so we were unsure if we were in the right place. Once we were on the bus with Ted, there were NO problems! He was great, let us off multiple times for pictures and had great advice for other things in the area to do!! Thank you, Ted!
We're so glad you had a great time with Ted on the Rhode Island in a Day tour! We'll make sure the signage is more visible, thank you for that helplful feedback.
10 out of five! LOL that is if I could give it that many stars. If you don’t know where to start, or if you’re ADHD and just want a feel for everything, start here with this tour and ask for Ted. It won’t be boring. He certainly added to such a lovely experience, well looked out for as a solo traveler, fun and so knowledgeable he’s like a walking encyclopedia. Today I’m going to go back and spend a bit more time at some of the places I only got to view for a quick minute but I feel like I know Rhode Island so much better having been on this Tour! I’m only sorry I won’t see Ted and the others again today it was so enjoyable I feel we could all be friends. I love the roundness of experience between the mansions, the time spend by the water, the taste of Rhode island Cuisine, the US History I mean you get it ALL! Highly recommend this tour and ask for Ted. You won’t be sorry.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review of our Rhode Island in a Day tour!
