After Party Transportation

The Experience RI Tours was wonderful to work with. Buddy made it easy from working through the quote, working through the tentative schedule months before to adjusting the schedule the week of as things had slightly changed. We used the shuttle service for our after party from our venue to a downtown Newport bar. Our driver was perfectly on time as requested for a smooth transition from wedding to after party, kind, and flexible to go back and forth from our venue to the bar. Would highly highly recommend!

Amazing service!

We used Experience RI shuttle services for our wedding this past weekend to transport both wedding parties and our guests to and from the venue. Buddy was super helpful and communicated throughout the whole process to make it stress free. Our drivers were professional and arrived right on time. The shuttles were very clean and spacious enough to bring personal items to and from the venue. I highly recommend Experience RI and would use their services again!!

Efficient service for my wedding transportation needs

Buddy was extremely helpful to work with in Newport and knowledgable about the locations we needed to move guests to and from. He offered up recommendations of how many shuttles we would need and how we should coordinate the stops and departure times. The drivers were prompt and easy to work with! Highly recommend this service.

Flexible transportation

Experience Rhode Island provided transportation for our guests to and from our wedding in Newport RI. Buddy was responsive, easy to work with, and very responsive. This was the only transportation company I found that allowed you to adjust the amount of transportation needed after booking with them. I found this to be very helpful, because we booked our transportation prior to receiving our RSVPs and number of rooms booked in our hotel block. They are reasonably priced and safely transported our guests.

Best service!

Buddy was so helpful. We used him for transportation for the wedding party the day of the wedding and for the rehearsal dinner. The company is so easy to work with. The drivers were great! They were way cheaper than other quotes I got. I highly recommend them!
