Along the way, the guide shares details about Newport’s history and architecture with brief visits and explanations at landmarks such as the Old Colony House, Great Friends Meeting House, Brick Market Place, and Jane Pickens Theater. The tour concludes with a visit to a café offering craft coffees, drinks, and locally sourced breakfast and lunch options. The tour includes all food tastings. Alcohol tastings can be added for an extra fee by contacting the operator. Guests should notify the operator of any dietary restrictions or allergies when booking.
