Viking Tours of Newport & The Wedding Trolley

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.
