Wonderful combination of walking, history, and stories - Kevin was fantastic-he combined history with storytelling and we enjoyed it immensely. His pacing, both in terms of walking and in terms of building suspense with different yarns about Newport, was exceptional. Would go again!

An amazing experience! - 5 of us went on the Newport Gangster Tour today 8/9/2025 and we all loved it. Our guide Martin was amazing. I joked that he was a walking & talking AI full of so much history and marveled at his knowledge. It was an amazing experience. Thank you!
