Viking Tours of Newport & The Wedding Trolley

ble, on time and friendly. The vehicles were nice and clean. Would highly recommend Viking Tours for your transportation needs!

ding them map screenshots and suggestions for the best way to approach getting from our getting ready spot to the first look drop off and pick up and then to the venue. On the day, our driver arrived early and politely greeted our party. He helped each of us aboard and made sure we were comfortable. He then seemed unaware of the driving routes I had suggested ahead of the day, so perhaps the booking agents didn’t share them? As such, as the only one on the trolley from the local area, I had to give the driver turn-by-turn directions instead of being able to relax & enjoy the ride with my bridal party. All of this said, our driver did maneuver well through traffic and get us to our locations on time.

e trolley driver was very prompt and friendly. We had no issues with the trolley picking us all up at our house to bring our immediate family and bridal party to the church, our photo location down the street at the beach and then to the reception venue (and we stayed with the 4 hour minimum which was great for our budget). We loved how the pictures came out on the trolley too. I was familiar with Viking Tours due to my job being in Newport, but now I can also recommend them as a passenger. Thank you!

bit long and music would’ve been nice.

r driver, Butch, was excellent as well! We were all over the place, and Butch was on time, professional, and courteous. He did such a fantastic job. Needless to say, the trolley was gorgeous as well! And the price was so reasonable!!! We couldn't have imagined more perfect transportation for our Newport wedding! If you are thinking about using them, DO IT!!!

elpful. The trolly was in beautiful condition and so clean, and our driver was responsible, friendly, and fun! Would definitely recommend!

pictures. Our guests enjoyed the ride to the ceremony. The trolley was a nice touch to our special day. Highly recommended!

ouch. Highly recommend!

eople back and forth from their hotels to the venue, and Viking did step up to the task, very friendly and knowledgeable driver also. Kirtley was there to assist me through it all from last minute changes to my bride anxiety moments:). She event went above and beyond . The day of the wedding everything went smoother than I could have ever imagined thanks to Viking and our trolley driver . I can't recommend this company enough because They were so amazing !

ithout any issues. The day of wedding went really smoothly and our guests had no complaints about the service. We recommend them highly!

ehicle for our wedding party, but they sent us a trolley as a free upgrade since it was available that day....awesome! Everything was timely and went seamlessly. We had such a great experience!

sional. He arrived a few minutes early for each pick up and was so fun throughout the ride. He let us play music and enjoy ourselves during our ride. I would absolutely recommend Newport Trolley for weddings. The trolley itself gave us great photos and it let us have a "party bus" feel but in a more quaint vehicle. Pricing was extremely reasonable & we loved it!

and after party. In the 18 months leading up to the wedding we had many schedule changes and questions and Kirtley was there to assist through it all. She event went above and beyond to send me a list of inns in the area for our guests. The day of the wedding everything went smoother than I could have ever imagined thanks to Viking and our trolley drivers (Butch was one of them - he was amazing, the other was awesome as well I just forget his name!) My aunt missed the trolley at the Marriot in Newport and the trolley drove back to get her without question. They were so amazing and friendly nice guys. I can't recommend this company enough, plus their trolleys make for amazing pictures!!!!!!!

ur driver was very friendly and easy to work with. The only downside was that the day-of details were lost somewhere in between what we confirmed with the office and what the driver was told. We rented the trolley for transportation for the wedding party to take pictures before the ceremony and to transport our guests in between the church and the reception venue (which is where our details were confused). The driver believed he was only transporting our wedding party which caused some confusion for our guests who were expecting rides. Our driver was very helpful and willing to update the plans for us without any issue so in the end it worked out. We recommend calling the company to confirm the details again to be sure that all details are accurate including the time/date, addresses of ceremony/reception AND plans for the trolley.

, my family, and my bridal party. My bridesmaids, our parents, and I arrived at my ceremony too early, but instead of making us wait around in the trolley at the church he took us for a memorable cruise down Newport's 1st and 2nd beach - truly a drive I will remember forever. We love them and would highly recommend to any bride and groom seeking transportation for their big day! THANK YOU!

ion they need which makes it extremely easy and care-free on your wedding day. I didn't worry about a thing! The driver was very friendly and easy going. We even re-routed him a bit and he was flexible. He took the best routes in Newport and avoided traffic. They were on-time for everything. I am very happy we went with Viking Tours and I loved the trolley!

nd my girls since we arrived at my ceremony too early. We love them and highly recommend!

ed in a timely manner and shuttled people throughout the night.

of our questions. When it came to our wedding day, our driver Jessie was top notch! She was very friendly and professional during the entire time. She got our guests to the venue on time and was available to take them back during and at the end of the reception. If you are looking for transportation for your wedding, I would highly recommend Viking as a great option!

nd having a trolley is nice with all the extra space you get rather than being cramped in a limo!

ing since the trolly had to drive around the state of Rhode Island the day of the wedding to pick up and drop off the groomsman and bridal party from separate distant locations. I had nothing to worry about with this vendor, because the trolly was on time and everyone got where they needed to be with time to spare. When the trolley arrived, the AC was broken, but they were able to switch trolleys before picking up the girls. That was a big relief, because no one wants to be on the highway in a trolley with the windows down and a fresh hairstyle. Even with that small hiccup, everything still ran smoothly. My only suggestion for this vendor is to have GPS (and maybe a radio or iPod dock) in the trolleys for the drivers, because the driver did rely on us for directions to major highways during the ride. That being said, everything else was perfect and I would highly recommend this vendor to anyone looking for a trolley!

as great and we took backroads to avoid the kayos. I will note that the lady who handles the wedding sales at their main office is not pleasant to deal with. Everyone else I've spoken to at Viking Trolley is delightful, just not the wedding lady. at all. However, the price is great, the driver was wonderful, and they let you hang a banner on the side of the trolley, just triple check the size cause their particular.

f was great. We loved it!

itionally, we faced some rainy weather on our wedding day but our driver worked so hard to ensure that we all stayed dry-walking my 28 person wedding party one by one under an umbrella from the church to the trolley! Plus, it was so much fun riding in a trolley on our wedding day!! Worth the value, fantastic service, highly recommend them to everyone!!

s showed up right on time and were able to pick-up and drop up all of our guests just as we requested. They were easy to work with and executed their service perfectly. The buses were nice and the guests were all really happy to have transportation to and from the wedding. Would definitely recommend Viking to anyone looking for wedding transportation!

one, I knew they'd be perfect for our wedding party transportation. The trolley was early to all pick up sites and was such a fun way to travel from church to reception. Trolley was clean but had a bit of a leaky AC unit in the front. Driver was very nice. Enjoyed being able to have champagne in trolley. All in all a great experience!

er brides away as our bad experience was not because of the trolley, but because of the trolley driver. Everything on the trolley was great until we got to our final destination. As we were unloading the trolley it was my turn to get off and the trolley the driver was nowhere to be found. Because of this I had to get off the last step by myself, resulting in me tripping on my dress and falling onto the ground. Luckily I put my arms out to help stop my fall, which I think prevented me from seriously getting hurt. Once I got up I lifted up my dress and my whole entire right knee had been cut, getting blood on my dress and putting me in excruciating pain. Of course I would have thought that the driver would have come to my assistance to help me, but he was still nowhere to be found. Before we knew it the trolley was gone. It seemed to us that driver knew he was in the wrong and wanted to make a getaway before someone got really mad at him. After returning back from our honeymoon, I reached out to Viking Tours. I informed Kirtley of the incident and how I was very upset. Kirtley was very apologetic and said she was going to speak with the owners and review our file. The company was able to work something out with us and thanked me for informing them about the incident. Kirtley reassured me that as a company it is policy that the driver is to stay by the trolley until all members of the bridal party are off, especially the bride. The owners plan to review their company polices with the drivers before every single wedding they have. Although it was not a fun experience for me, I would say if you plan to use a trolley through Viking Tours make sure someone is at the door before getting off.

, so much so that one of our groomsmen suggested that he should be in the "Trolley Hall of Fame". My only suggestion is for them to clean the trolley better. The benches were quite dusty and I was worried that I was going to get my wedding dress dirty before I even entered the church.

high heat for our wedding and the trolley air conditioning was broken. Also, our driver had no idea where we were going even tho we had confirmed the travel itinerary months in advance. His driving skills weren't very good either.

heir high heals up and down the stairs, even caught someone as she was tripping. My husband said the trolley was so much fun, he could have spent 4 hours driving around. They do not have a sound system on the trolley that you can use, but you can bring your own music. Make sure your have some good portable speakers.

s very clean, shiny and classy looking. Kirtley who we did all of our booking and scheduling with was very easy to work with. We also rented a bus from Viking to shuttle our guests back and forth from the hotels to our venue. Buses were on time and comfortable! I did a lot of price-comparing, and found Viking Tours to also be the best value, and having the most available trolleys.

forth many times throughout the day an everything went really smoothly! I would definitely recommend them. :)

nt a cute mode of transportation this is the way to go! It makes for great pictures too.

providing great drivers, who were both prompt and professional. Their trolley and mini coaches were very clean and new. Overall it ended up being a great experience at a decent price.

ns and the driver, Joel was a true professional...kind and patient! He was knowledgeable and knew our itinerary well...we arrived everywhere EARLY! During the reception so many guests commented on how awesome the trolley looked with the wedding party inside! Our photographer was able to get some amazing photos too! I highly recommend Viking Tours to any RI couple planning their wedding looking for trolley service!

guests we had. The older gentlemen driving the bus delivered our first group of guests and then disappeared for an hour! Due to him not returning to the Marriott on time, our second group of guests were waiting for an hour to be picked up, and sadly our ceremony started an hour later than it was supposed to. This of course pushed back the entire evening, and since our venue has a strict policy where the wedding has to end by 11pm we were stuck trying to rush through things like the cocktail hour, dances, speeches, etc. to try and make up time. The experience with Viking Tours was by far the worst experience we encountered throughout the entire wedding process. No one ever contacted us to apologize for the miscommunication or offered to compensate us in any way for the terrible service we received. It was unfortunate this happened as every other aspect of our wedding was wonderful. Thankfully we still had a fabulous wedding day, but losing an entire hour out of our night is something we will always regret.

oved it! We had a lot of room on it and everyone fit comfortably.
