Top-rated Providence Attractions, Landmarks & More

Excellent tour of the river in downtown Providence. The guide was entertaining and the trip was so informative on landmarks and history of the city. The timing was just right and location easy to find, cute shop to hang in while waiting to board the boat!

Courtney was our guide and she was great. She was prepared, punctual, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Our tour had to deal with the beginning of the Nor'easter and Courtney was extremely communicative with the group about pending plans and possibilities, and when we all showed up in the rain she had umbrellas and ponchos should we need them. The minimal rain at the time just added to the ambiance and we had a great tour and learned some really interesting stuff. Definitely recommend, and I'd love to do another of her tours if I'm ever in the area again.

A great way to spend an afternoon! We had a wonderful time discovering history and amazing food right in our own backyard. Having done the tour a few weeks ago, my husband and I have already returned to 2 of the featured restaurants. It's a great way to learn more about the immigrant history that make Providence such a great city (and with such amazing food!) Cam, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and made the whole experience a ton of fun. Definitely check out this tour whether you're in from out of town, or a local, because I guarantee you'll learn something new, have great food, and enjoy your time.

Booked this tour last minute after seeing an ad at my hotel and so glad I did. It was a fun little experience that allowed me to see a bit more of the city for my less than 24 hrs I was going to spend here. Bonus I was the only one on the tour and got the VIP treatment!

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.

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.
