VIEW SCHEDULE

We used Viking Tours for our transportation from our hotel room to our Venue for our August 2019 wedding in Portsmouth, RI. Kirtley was a pleasure to work with. She was attentive to my questions prior to my wedding day. The drivers were reliable, on time and friendly. The vehicles were nice and clean. Would highly recommend Viking Tours for your transportation needs!

Viking Trolley was absolutely perfect for our wedding day. We had sort of a complicated schedule for the driver going back and forth between the hotel and venue throughout the morning, afternoon, and evening, but Viking Trolley stuck to our timeline flawlessly. Our driver was so kind, fun, and helpful throughout the day and he really went above and beyond, making sure we and our guests were safely and timely transported back and forth.

For anyone booking Viking Trolley during covid, they were phenomenal at adhering to the regulations and making sure everyone felt safe. All of our planning was so easy with Viking and the day of could not have gone more smoothly.

We had a smaller wedding at King Park in Newport RI and the trolley was perfect for transporting all 20 of us from the hotel to the ceremony to photo ops then dinner and back. Our driver took great care of us and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect. He even suggested a great little place out of the wind to take pictures after the ceremony and was able to transport our photographer where he needed to go after everything was done. We highly recommend Viking tours for anyone in need of a trolley service at a reasonable price. We also recommend Jim as a driver. He always had a smile on his face and helped every guest on and off the trolley. The only issue we saw appeared to be mechanical with the air conditioner and only affected Jim. It had a lot of water in it and would splash out during some turns. Poor Jim got a little wet but it didn’t affect any of us or our experience.

We hired Viking Tours for transportation for our wedding in Mystic, Connecticut, and could not be happier with the experience. Kirtley was responsive, professional and a pleasure to work with – everything we were looking for in vendors for our wedding. We rented two coach buses for our guests and the Wedding Trolley for our wedding party. We got tons of compliments from our guests on the quality of the buses as well as the professionalism of the drivers. The trolley was beautiful and made for excellent pictures and we were even able to have a champagne toast on the trolley following the ceremony. All around a great experience and a great value. We highly recommend Viking Tours and Kirtley in particular!!

Providing the best in touring and transportation since 1962. Viking Tours of Newport provides trolley tours in and around Newport’s museums, sailing, beaches, shopping, dining and other attractions. Private, wedding and corporate tours also available.

Kitten Yoga with Bristol Maryott

• 285 South Main St., Providence, RI 02903
• June 8, 2024

Join us for an all-level yoga class with all proceeds benefiting Heaven Lee's Cat Rescue. We'll do a gentler, floor-based class so that the kittens can wander as they please. The safety and happiness of the kittens will be our highest priority and they will have crates to enter if they feel they'd rather some alone time. But hopefully we'll raise lots of money to benefit the cat rescue and a few of these kittens will find their forever homes!
