Newport "Sin City" Mobster Tour
, US
2 hours
What You Will Do
While there are a few walking tours about the "Sin City" years of Newport, our tour is the only one where you can view all of the historic sites from the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle (minivan). This allows us to explore far more historic sites in less time than a walking tour can! You will relax from the comfort of your seat while you are transported from site-to-site and will learn all about the unique history of each site, it's connections with the mafia, illegal gambling, bootlegging, and prostitution that earned Newport the name "the sin city of the south"! You will also have an opportunity to get out of the vehicle at each tour stop and do some exploring of your own, with your tour guide there to answer any questions you may have.
