We used Viking Tours for our wedding and had such a great experience the day of! They are a pretty busy sales team so when booking just ensure to stay on top of emailing/calls, but aside from that we had a great experience and our family/friends loved having this as part of our transportation! It was great for photos as well.

We worked with Kirtley and booked 2 trolleys for my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding in August. She was such a pleasure to work with. She was always very friendly and helpful when we spoke. We needed two trolleys to bring the bridal party and our guests to the venue and then to bring everyone back to their hotels at the end of the night. Kirtley was great in helping to figure out the times and logistics to make use of both trolleys in a cost effective way. The trolleys were on time and everything ran very smoothly. Our guests had a great time and really enjoyed riding in the trolleys. I highly recommend using Viking Tours!

We knew as soon as we booked our Newport venue that we wanted to book trolleys to bring our guests from the hotel to the venue, and after researching we decided to work with Viking Trolleys. Working with Viking Tours to book the trolleys for our guests was super easy; they were very responsive throughout the whole process. We booked an earlier trolley to bring the groom and groomsmen to the venue and then to take us around Newport for pictures, and the driver was so friendly and professional! We decided to assign our guests to specific timed trolleys (would definitely recommend! I've been to other weddings where all the trolley times are listed and guests are encouraged to go to the one that works for them, and everyone tends to choose the last trolley), so we named the trolleys after special things to us (our dog's name, etc.) and guests could only see the time of the trolley they were assigned to on our website. Our contact at Viking Trolley was great about this, and she even made signs and posted them in each trolley the day of so people knew which trolley was which! Little touches like this made it a stress free experience. If you're looking to book trolleys, definitely go with Viking Tours!

So glad we chose a trolley for our wedding! The trolley was on time (even early) and absolutely spotless. There was more than enough room for everyone to fit comfortably. Jim was our driver, and he was AWESOME. He offered tissues for happy tears on the way into the church, and even blocked the window so peeking guests couldn't see the bride while we waited to enter the ceremony!

A great company to work with! This was a fun way to get around for our wedding. Kirtley was very easy to work with leading up to our wedding and was helpful in keeping a secret from our wedding party. We had a special drop off planned and he made sure our driver knew it was a surprise. Our driver was very friendly and gave me some helpful tips before I got off at the church. I am also thankful for him for waiting for the trolley with AC! I told him that he was my favorite person of the day! He was accommodating to the Newport traffic and a last minute switch in our drop off due to timing. He showed up at my house early and was ready to go when we needed (and was also willing to go in a circle or two because my mom forgot her phone....). Thanks Viking Tours!

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 hired our wedding trolley for November 2019 through Viking Tours of Newport and we could not have been happier. We had an excellent experience, they made it super simple and easy. They are very responsive via email, and compared to other transportation we looked in to, their prices were quite reasonable. They were there right on time and the trolley was so cute, clean and well-kept. It was a bit chilly on our wedding day and the heat inside the trolley was great. They allow champagne and drinks for you and the wedding party, which was perfect. Nothing but good things to say about Viking Tours and their trolley!

Reasonable and clear pricing and great customer service through the planning process. Our event was in Connecticut, so I wasn’t surprised that our driver was not familiar with our area. That said, I was proactive before our wedding day in providing 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.

My husband and I booked the Newport Viking Trolley for ourselves and our bridal party and it was the perfect means of transportation! Kirtley was very nice to work with (both with myself and my wedding coordinators at Anchor Productions) and the 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!

From the moment I spoke with Kirtley at Viking Tours in December 2016 for our July 2018 wedding I knew I was going to use them for our wedding because she was helpful and professional. Our wedding was in Newport we needed trolleys shuttling people 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 .

We used Newport Trolley for our wedding in August 2017 and were thrilled with everything. The communication w/ Newport Trolley from the beginning was easy and we found their services to be extremely affordable. Our driver was so nice and professional. 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!

From the moment I spoke with Kirtley at Viking Tours I knew I was going to use them for our wedding. Our wedding was held in Bristol but guests were staying in Newport so we needed trolleys shuttling people back and forth to the hotels, wedding 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!!!!!!!

We used Viking Tours to rent a trolley for our wedding this past June. I was very impressed with their trolleys after attending a wedding last year and we and our guests were just as impressed!
The trolley we had was brand new and very clean. Our 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.

Absolutely LOVED our wedding trolley! Exactly what we wanted and such a sweet touch to our day! Kirtley made everything super easy during the planning process and their prices are great!
Our driver was wonderful and took such great care of us, 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!

I absolutely loved the wedding trolley as transportation for my wedding day in August! I think this trolley is so classy and easy. It was roomy enough for the wedding party which was about 18 people. They are very detailed in all the information 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!

I would highly recommend Viking tours. We used the trolley service to bring guests to and from hotels to our wedding venue. Kirtley was easy to work with and responded in a timely manner to all of my emails. The trolleys looked wonderful, arrived in a timely manner and shuttled people throughout the night.

We booked Viking to provide transportation for our wedding guests to get to the Towers and we were not disappointed. From the very beginning Kirtley was fantastic to deal with. She made the booking process very easy and was available for all 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!

All of the staff we dealt with at the Wedding Trolley were great. Tom was early for pickup that day and we were already off to a great start! He was funny and a pleasure to have drive us around all day. Their pricing is excellent for the area and having a trolley is nice with all the extra space you get rather than being cramped in a limo!

We rented a trolley from Viking Tours of Newport for our wedding on 8/7/15. Viking Tours provided the best value and service of any other trolley companies that we looked at. They truly were a pleasure to work with. I was very nervous about timing 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!

Kirtley was so fun and pleasant to work with. I actually won our trolley ride at a bridal expo auction and am so glad I did! The trolley ride made the day so much more fun and the whole wedding party loved it!

I chose Viking Trolley Tours to use as transportation for the bridal party from the hotel to the church and after wards to go around Newport for pictures. I got married during memorial day weekend so I was worried about traffic but the driver was 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.

We used Viking Trolley for our wedding last October and they were truly fantastic. They were reliable, timely and truly wonderful to deal with from beginning to end. Our driver was amazing! He was kind, patient and made the day so much fun. Additionally, 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!!

We hired two Viking coach buses to transport our guests between their hotel locations and our wedding venue. They were very flexible and let us do pick-up and drop-off from two hotels in Middletown and a third spot in downtown Newport. The buses 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!

I knew at the beginning of wedding planning that I wanted a trolley and looked into a few of the local companies. Kirtley in the office was very helpful and responsive. They let me go to the garage to check out the trolleys, and when I went on 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!
