Highly recommend!!!

We used experience RI for transportation at my wedding at Mount Hope Farm to help guests get around Middletown and Bristol. Everyone we worked with was fantastic. Rebecca helped with coordinating the schedule prior to the wedding and was so excellent and accommodating. Our two drivers the day of the wedding went above and beyond and happily did more than they needed to for a smooth experience for our guests. Would highly recommend using Experience RI!

Hire them now!

The best transportation company I have ever worked with!! I work with shuttle services for weddings every single week as a wedding planner, and I cannot recommend this company enough. Buddy helped us walk through the routes multiple times and was very responsive throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, John Q, John B, Bill, Phill & Phill were the absolute best drivers ever. Seriously, cannot recommend this company enough!! Thank you!!

Fantastoc transportation company

Experience RI Tours were fantastic to work with. We had a lot of moving parts and logistics for our wedding day in Narragansett, multiple hotel blocks and an air bnb that we had to coordinate transportation for. From the minute we started working with Buddy and his team, they were fantastic. Extremely responsive and knowledgeable about the right amount of shuttles we would need. We made a few changes towards the end and they were incredibly flexible. The best part is that everything went off without a hitch, they were on time for both pick ups and drop offs so everyone was able to get to our wedding stress free. I couldn’t recommend them enough! They made the planning process as stress free as possible. Many thanks for Buddy and his team.
