Just did the Newport Walking Food and History Tour and it was AMAZING!

I went last weekend with a couple of friends, and we had the best time! The food was incredible—we tried clam chowder, some amazing lobster rolls, and even local pastries. The guide was super knowledgeable about Newport’s history, and I loved how they connected the stories to the places we visited. Oh, and the views along the way were just gorgeous. Highly recommend!

Thinking of gifting the Newport Walking Food Tour to my parents!

I’m looking for a unique gift for my parents' anniversary and I think this tour would be perfect. They love trying new foods and learning about history. Has anyone done it recently? Any tips for making it special?
