It was fun enjoyable and learned a lot about Rhode Island. The tour operator who drove the bus was very funny. He like to play trivia games with group broken up by state.

This was an amazing trip. We were able to see a lot of Rhode Island and heard lots of facts and history about the state and specific towns. I highly recommend going on this if you want to see more than just downtown Providence.
Response from Host, Aug 2023

Ted was a great guide and has a lot to information to share about providence and Rhode island. We had a fabulous time. The only thing I would point out is that the company should not expect the tour guide to pick up a bride and groom as their transport did not make it at the cost of the guest experience. As this happened out tour was delayed by almost an hour and by the time we reached the sweet berry farm the shop and farm had shut so we were not able to experience the beautiful farm.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
We're so glad you had a fabulous time on the Rhode Island in a Day tour, Mihir! We apologize that your tour was delayed because your bus had to assist with a local wedding. This was an unusual experience. We will avoid this in the future, as we want you to be able to fully enjoy all of the beautiful places we stop at on the tour.

We had a grand time for the whole day tour. Ted was “wicked good” and very knowledgeable of the place and it’s history. There is so much to learn on this beautiful place and all information was compressed to an 8 hr tour. We had enough time for pictures, shopping, and food search. We highly recommend this tour to everybody who wants to explore and learn about RI in one day. Thank you very much and more power to you, Ted!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you, Domingo and Lorna! It was great to have you with us! So glad you had a wicked good time! :)

We’re so glad you enjoyed our Rhode Island in a Day trip! We loved showing you what’s great about the Ocean State! Really appreciate your review!
Becky_H, May 2023
Our tour guide Ted made the tour really fun with his trivia!! Can’t say enough about Ted.
We met Freddie (the dog) who rides a motorcycle around one of our stops (It was cute I had to add it!!)
We stopped at a little shop to get souvenirs which was thoughtful.
The only thing that could make the trip better is a complimentary water bottle.
Response from Host, Jun 2023

Eating the dough balls and listening to the history of the area
Rhode Island-Small but Mighty!
Can’t wait to come back
Response from Host, Aug 2021
We agree - it's pretty amazing all that Roger Williams contributed to Rhode Island and the foundation of America!
...and Iggy's Doughboys are hard to beat!
So glad you enjoyed the tour. We look forward to seeing you on your next trip out!
Sincerely,
Olivia
