Newport Historic Walk of Freedom
About Tour:
Welcome to Newport, Rhode Island, Travel Rebel.
On our adventure I’ll be guiding you through the cobblestone streets of Newport's historic downtown, past quaint shops, wharfs, restaurants, and historic landmarks. You'll learn about the city's colonial history, its role in the American Revolution, how it became a home of freedom of religion, its historic eating spots, and its transformation into a fashionable summer resort in the 19th century.
Grab your camera and your walking shoes, I’ll meet you just outside the white horse tavern.
