About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- sannel6400 contributionsWaste of moneyWhat could be improved? You could start by getting the audio guide to work! I started out at the coordinates given in the description (which were correct, I started at 40 steps as suggested) but never got the audio guide to work as it kept telling me I was off track no matter where I was ON THE CLIFF WALK!Written August 7, 2023
- Companion483768274900 contributionsIt's a free walk no need to pay for itBuying the guide was a waste of money and a waste of time it's just a walk so just take it beautiful view enjoy the walk you don't need to pay for the tourWritten July 28, 2023

This tour provided an excellent overview of Newport. The information was perfectly in sync to our drive.
The trip allowed for options to stop and explore places along the tour. It gave us an opportunity to decide the places we would like to return to later. It was a great use of our time.
We would have never found Ocean Drive and the beautiful state park located there.
We learned a lot.
We have used Voicemap in other cities and this drive tour is one of the best.
You get a lot of information for the small price of $9.99.

I really enjoyed the ocean drive. We started at the suggested spot, but there was so much traffic that we decided to leave. We decided to drive to the Fort Adam’s State Park and found out we could start the drive from there! The app was great! It keeps up perfectly with your drive and you can stop and start it as frequently as you like. And when we made the wrong turn, it’s simply stops .Your own personal guide, what could be better than that !!

We thoroughly enjoyed this GORGEOUS drive along the ocean!! In fact, so much so, we drove it more than once. The first time we did the drive, it was on a Viking Trolly Tour of Newport. This was fabulous because your driver tells all about the area you are seeing, points out summer homes of the famous and other tidbits of information. Then we drove it a couple of more times because of the beauty. It is self guided so you can stop anytime you wish for as long as you wish. Beautiful photo ops everywhere!!! Don't miss this if you are in the Newport, RI area!!!

Boat ride was great, awesome sights. Would recommend seeing the mansions on land first ( trolley tour) where we got a terrific background& history of the homes & family ( along with the gossip) . Tour guides were personable & knowledgeable about the area & the boats. Would recommend this trip but dress warm!

We did this self guided tour when we could not get on one of the guided buses. It was easy to use and informative - I would have appreciated more details, but I was pleased with what we did get!

This is an inexpensive and convenient way to tour some amazing places. I particularly enjoyed that I could travel at my own pace. The tour guide who did this is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed it!!!
