The open air trolley was so refreshing! I went with my best friend and our two boys (ages 9 & 11.) We saw all the most important landmarks of Newport, and the open nature of the trolley made the experience SO much better. You could smell the salt air, feel the breeze, and truly take everything in. Our tour guide was funny and FABULOUS. Highly recommend!
