Great tour guide!

The walking tour included a specific narration of the various historical landmarks around the town as well as personal connections to many of the sites along the walk.
I would suggest the addition of the fact that it is an uphill walk to the various churches and that people with impairments that hinder walking should take note.
It was so educational and...

The tour gives good overview of town’s layout and history. It’s interesting and enjoyable. Tour guide we had ( Robert) was knowlegible, professional and engaging. We feel that the tour hit most major city highlights. Pointers given by the guide on various points of interest to visit were highly appreciated. We would recommend the tour to others. ( Word of caution to people with mobility issues. The town is mildly hilly. I would say it’s a moderate intensity hike.)

Besides being totally informative about the local history,Derek tied in the local history with different events in the US that we were not aware of ! He answered all our questions,was professional, courteous, etc. We were very impressed…… & will recommend our friends to him. We give him an excellent rating!We had a tour the day after & wanted to cancel to take Derek. But it was too late to cancel…….
Excellent tour of colonial Newport

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
