We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Highly recommend while you're visiting Newport! They took us through the whole town, showed us the most beautiful homes, ocean, and other sites while explaining all past and present history. It would make for a lovely date activity or something fun with the family.

Newport Classic Cars Tours is a must do travel destination in all of RI! This is simply the most in depth and pleasurable way to experience every aspect of the gorgeous city of Newport. The tour giver Kenny is very charismatic but more importantly very knowledgeable, after only one hour you will learn everything and more there is to know about both historic and modern Newport. This is such a unique experience that you simply cant find anywhere else! The feeling of the old studebaker on the cobble stone roads while you hear the classic horn simply forces a smile on your face, this is one of the best touring experiences I’ve ever had the pleasure of being a part of! I could not recommend it enough!!!

Highly recommend! We were the first repeat customers. On a beautiful Sat in Newport while walking Thames St we saw this unique car drive by and said how cool is that! We then later in the day learned it was a touring car and booked it. Was the first time we enjoyed Ocean Drive that neither one of us was driving :) The history of buildings and views seen was wonderful. We ended the tour saying our boys would love this! The very next weekend we did a family day in Newport and as luck would have it the car was available! Watching the boys enjoy the car and the tour was fun, even better was the owner enoying their interest in the car.

This tour is excellent. The car is very comfortable and is clearly well-maintained, and Ken, my tour guide, was a joy to talk to. He makes the history of Newport entertaining and engaging. The car does not have a roof, so I recommend bringing a hat an sunscreen.

We were on a Celebrity Cruise in June with a day in Newport. I was thrilled with our Classic Car Tour. Ken's enthusiasm, stories and love of Newport made for such an enjoyable ride. The car was absolutely beautiful and we felt like celebrities during our tour. This was so much better than any bus or trolley ride available. I still smile when I reminisce about this day. This is a don't miss activity.

A highlight of our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Ken arrived bang on time at our B&B for the sunset “cruise,” set us up with Prosecco and treats, and shared lots of information we didn’t know, even though we have been coming to Newport for years by boat and car. Marvelous to be able to sit back, have a sip, and enjoy the beauty and lore of this magic part of the world. Ken was personable and attentive; his car was spotless and in excellent operating condition.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST WAY TO SEE NEWPORT! My husband and I have visited Newport on numerous occasions over the years, yet it wasn’t until we had the pleasure of experiencing the Newport Classic Car Tour that we were able to actually “see” Newport for the first time. Our elegant and surprisingly comfortable antique car immediately took us away from the hustle and bustle of crowded sidewalks and transported us back in time. As we rode along Bellevue Avenue in our car of the same era as the marvelous mansions, we felt a true sense of what it may have been like as a resident. A sensation we had never experienced while lumbering along on a chartered bus. Our charming driver was engaging and extremely informative on historic and present day Newport. He took us past beautiful ocean views and a variety of very interesting historic sites. By tours end, we felt like royalty and couldn’t wait to plan our next visit ! BEYOND EXCELLENT !!!

My husband and I did the sunset drive on Sept 1 and it was such a unique experience! From the very beginning, Ken was super accommodating (we had to reschedule) and hospitable- he offered us snacks and drinks and even a blanket when it got a little chilly. It’s a beautiful car and very comfortable. He explained some of the history of sites, buildings, farms, infused with local knowledge and humor. We saw a breathtaking sunset and he helped us take good shots in the car. Overall, the experience was fun and beautiful. I would recommend everyone seeing Newport in this different way.

An incredible experience! Ken is beyond professional and incredibly knowledgeable and the car is amazing and period correct in every way.

Vicki Ransom

Ken was amazing. He was a great guide with and amazing car. We arrived in Newport by cruise ship and were able to find the location easily and quickly. This was a great experience and we are glad we went this route to tour the area.

Susan Carr

Wonderful way to see Newport, with a driver who could give the history and ownership of many homes. The car was amazing too!

Hannah Hope

This tour was brilliant, I can’t recommend it enough! I went with my 3 children and husband and we enjoyed every minute of it! Ken was very friendly and knowledgeable and we saw some beautiful places in Newport. The coast was my favourite but the Mansions were also stunning. The car, albeit 94 years old, ran perfectly and was very comfortable. I felt like we were in the Great Gatsby, without Daisy driving! Do this tour, it’s the best way to see Newport!

James Ashworth

I lived in Rhode Island for 20 plus years and visited Newport dozens of times. Never before had I seen beautiful historic Newport and all it's waterfront glory in quite the same sunshine. This was a fantastic (and educational) experience that I would definitely not pass up for a second time around tour.

Ana Bess Moyer Bell

Went with two friends on a tour on a perfect Friday afternoon. I would do it every Friday if I could. Amazing scenery, our driver Ken was funny and filled with historical information, the car was a dream. Seriously, take me back please.

William Eckel
