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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Tour with Renee! - We just finished the Gangster Tour of Newport, Kentucky, and it was absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Renee, brought the entire experience to life with her energy, knowledge, and storytelling skills. She made the history feel real, mixing fascinating facts with just the right amount of humor and drama. You can tell she’s passionate about what she does, and it made all the difference. If you’re thinking about taking the tour, ask for Renee — she’s the best! Highly recommend!

Newport, KY– intriguing gangster history - Had an amazing two hour walk learning the history of Newport, Kentucky – mainly the gangster history. Our tour guide Renée was over-the-top informative and engaging. Would absolutely recommend it and you will be very very surprised about what little Newport Kentucky offers for intriguing history! Hint hint — what the heck does Las Vegas have to do with Newport????

Renee is Awesome! The Newport Gangster Tour is Outstanding, too! - We attended the Newport Gangster Tour on a hot Saturday in July. Renee did not disappoint. She started out with a portable microphone. Thank you, Renee! That made a huge difference in hearing since we had a fairly large group. (We had previously been on a different tour and literally couldn't hear half of what was being said. That guide had no microphone.) As we walked, Renee ensured that when we stopped for her to tell a story we had plenty of shade for sitting/standing. That was very considerate of her. Finally, Renee definitely knew her subject. The tour lasted for two hours, and as already mentioned, it was in the heat. It didn't feel like it. Renee clearly has a wealth of knowledge about the the Newport (and Cincinnati) area and kept an energetic pace throughout the tour. It didn't feel like we had been walking around for two hours. We highly (10/10) recommend The Newport Gangster Tour and Renee!

Visiting the Newport Gangsters with Renee - Renee was a great tour guide! She knew so many facts and stories! Her command of the names and dates of this area and era of history were incredible! It was incredibly hot and she did her best to make sure we were as comfortable as possible—she stopped in the shade as often as possible and gave us opportunities to sit down. Everyone stayed safe and sound and learned a lot!
