Overview
Are you a fan of The Godfather? Goodfellas? Scarface? The Sopranos? The Untouchables? Casino? Boardwalk Empire? A Bronx Tale? If you love mobster movies, then this is the tour for you! This is the only tour about the "Sin City" years of Newport 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.
