Afternoon Grand Tour | Gansett Cruises in Newport, RI
Joanne_K, Sep 2026
The “Afternoon Grand...
The “Afternoon Grand Tour” in Newport with Gansett Cruises was absolute perfection! We had the best time out on the water today and we were fortunate to have a beautiful day to go along with it! The 1-hour and 10-minute sightseeing cruise packed in so much great content that it easily felt like a full 2-hour experience. Our guide, David, was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and funny, keeping everyone completely engaged. Thank you, Dave, and the entire crew for a genuinely fantastic and memorable afternoon!

AMAZING! Did this with my whole family (bf, sisters, niece, and my mom) We had a blast. Our bus driver gave amazing facts and was hilarious! Definitely made the experience feel welcoming and personable! He built rapport with everyone onboard makes us all feel like friends with one another which was cool when we were all touring the mansion together. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND! I’m so glad we did this and if I go back to Rhode Island, I’ll look for more with this company.

Fantastic tour!
Wonderful experience! Our tour guide/driver Ray was fantastic! He is a local born in Newport and sprinkled his very informative tour with personal antidotes as well as info about the Gilded Age tv show. The 3 hours passed quickly; there was plenty of time to tour the Breakers mansion. Definitely recommend the tour and Ray!

Black History of Newport IS History of Newport
For me the markers themselves are BEAUTIFUL. I enjoyed walking to the different sites, and imagining the people who lived, worked, or worshipped there. I especially liked learning about Duchess Quamino and her plum cakes, which were greatly appreciated by George Washington. I had never heard of her, which of course, highlights the intersectionality between racism and sexism. Going forward, I want to include her in my women's studies courses.

Activity name

Cool Destinations 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.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations 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.
