Providence Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We saw parts of the city we otherwise would not have seen. We were given sufficient time at each stop.

Visit three hidden bars in Providence, including a speakeasy, distillery, and artistic bar. Enjoy delicious drinks at all three spots with the option to add on food. David, our tour guide, regaled us with secret stories about hidden spots in Providence and fun inside knowledge on PVD history. Can't recommend him enough for stories that keep you entertained as you go between spots in the PVD tour van. This is truly a fantastic way to spend the night with your partner or with your best friends. Highly recommend!

Jon was a great tour guide! I brought my friend who was visiting from California who’s never been here and he did such a good job of describing Rhode Island. It was perfect.. I learned a lot that I didn’t know and I am a Rhode Islander.

Absolutely amazing time! 10/10 experience! David was the best! He was so informative and friendly and gave us an amazing experience! The places we went to were so unique and fun! I can’t wait to go back!

I enjoyed this tour. Ross, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a good history of Providence. His stories re past Rhode Island luminaries was fascinating and his willingness to allow additional time to take pictures is appreciated. Additionally, Ross was very sensitive to those of us with moboliy issues and assisted as needed. Many thanks!! Good tour!

What a fantastic excursion! Our group of 12 booked a cruise on The Mariner and we had the greatest experience. From the easy booking to the professional staff it couldn’t have been easier. The Mariner is a beauty and offers plenty of room to roam, gather and even dance! With a fully stocked bar, including the cutest individual and group charcuterie boards we set sail to great yacht rock style tunes. It was exactly the outing our friend group needed. Unique, affordable and stress free. It allowed us all to enjoy each other’s company while allowing Captain Tom, Kristin and their fabulous crew to literally take the wheel!

Dillon was our tour guide and we learned a lot from him. He was able to share Rhode Island's history and information on some of the "under dogs" who helped shape this great state. The tour was interesting and Dillon was fantastic!

Nice relaxing way to end an evening and see downtown Providence at night and enjoy some wine and good conversation.

Great boat tour, history and views from the Providence River. Small (about 20 bench seats) open to the weather. Adult beverages allowed on board.

This was my daughter’s choice and we had a good time. She was entertained and enjoyed herself. It’s a fun way to make sightseeing interesting for kids.

Capt Tom was great and really had interesting info about the city. He actually was able to point out local endangered wildlife and explain their habitat. Weather was beautiful and would recommend

Great tour! We sampled a variety of local foods. We learned some interesting history. Perfect start of our vacation :)

It was relaxed and David was friendly and easy to talk to. Tour was just over two hours. We got to see so much of the city that was new to us.

Cameron was a great guide who walked us in areas we otherwise wouldn’t have discovered on our own. We had some amazing foods, unique to this area. No need to schedule a dinner before or after this tour, as this will count as dinner. During the tour, Cameron offers many details into the history of Providence.

A very interesting walk around old town Providence. Insightful historical facts as well as haunted facts. Our guide to other world, Kelly, was outstanding. Interesting and informative.

David gave us a great experience on the clues and brews tour! I went with a friend, and even though we are Providence locals we learned so much. It was a very fun experience :)
