If you are new to visiting Newport, RI the first item on your list should be to have Ken take you through the 10 mile drive in the 1924 Studebaker. First and foremost Ken has a wealth of knowledge and it was clear from the start he holds Newport near and dear to his heart. We had great conversations, lots of good laughs while learning about Newports extensive history. Ken also told gave us the low down on where to dine. The ride in the Studebaker was timeless! We also renting the the 66 mustang to take to the mansions! Thank you Ken for an unforgettable experience!
Unique experience. Ken is also a great guide so we learned a bit about Newport during gilded age.
Outstanding! Informative tour of Newport with a lot of laughs. Took the tour with my girlfriend and we had a blast. Fun. Funny. Informative. Awesome ride. Would definitely recommend to anyone! It was an hour very well spent.
Came to Newport for Valentine’s weekend. By far the best activity the whole trip. Learned so many new things about Newport, and even learned that the hotel I stay in every year is haunted! Driver was extremely funny and personable, 5 out of 5 stars, would definitely recommend. Will be coming back!!!
You have to do this tour! The guide is amazing and very knowledgeable! The places you get to go and see and the stuff he tells you about are all so amazing. Truly the best way to take in the beauty and opulence of Newport!
We used Ken’s service in the winter as part of a special event for our family in Newport. He was so professional, yet very funny. We can’t wait to use him in the summer.
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.
Ken was amazing!! Such a great ride and an amazing experience. We are locals and wanted to see what the tour was like and Ken exceeded our expectations. Thank you!!
We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Highly recommend while youre 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.
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!
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.
We were on a Celebrity Cruise in June with a day in Newport. I was thrilled with our Classic Car Tour. Kens 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 dont miss activity.
Ken was a great guide and my family had a lot of fun on this tour.
Highly recommend this tour - one of a kind experience. Our driver was funny and informative, the car was exceptional, and the route was very scenic. Definitely put it on your list if your in Newport
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 its 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.
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.
Bad experience recently with the business / gentleman.very deceitful. not polite, not nice... less than up front and honest.not a nice guy / business owner!
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.
Not only is the tour and car super cool, but so is the driver. Very informative and great sense of humor. Loved it.
What a great time we had touring around Newport and seeing sights we havent experienced before! Ken was very knowledgeable about the history of Newport and made it alot of fun! We really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it if youre in town!
Great experience renting classic mustang for the day.
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.
An incredible experience! Ken is beyond professional and incredibly knowledgeable and the car is amazing and period correct in every way.
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 !!!
The Studebaker is comfy, Ken is funny and knowledgeable... Awesome time. Highly recommended
Wonderful way to see Newport, with a driver who could give the history and ownership of many homes. The car was amazing too!
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.
Great friendly driver. Awesome car
