Courtney is an amazing guide. Engaging, knowledgeable and loves what she does, which makes ot so much more special!! One of the best walking tours I've ever taken! Thank you for making it a special, memorable evening!

Love a good history walking tour and love supporting a female entrepreneur! You can accomplish both in Providence with the delightful "Parasols and Pocket Watches" tour of Benefit Street. This was the perfect way to orient ourselves to the city and get some context about its history the day we arrived. Benefit St. is beautiful, and the insight and stories shared by our guide helped us appreciate our surroundings even more! I also appreciated how thoughtful our guide was about safety, alerting us to uneven sidewalks--this was a huge help for my mom, who has some mobility issues. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Providence who'd like to learn a little more about its history while visiting one of the most beautiful streets in the city.

Great experience. It is amazing how much history is in a few blocks. The tour guide/owner is so incredibly knowledgeable and a joy to listen to. I highly recommend this tour.

Parasol and pocket watches: a history tour, was absolutely a phenomenal tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, answered all of our questions, cared about our safety and well-being, took as many photos of her and our surroundings as we wanted, and she even gave us a keepsake gift that was on par with the theme. An amazing touch to the event!! I would highly recommend this tour for all of the history that you will learn. The guide will deliver this information in an educational and fun way.

As a visitor to Providence, I was curious about the history of the city. Courtney made history come alive on the tour. She offered exclusive interesting facts that one would not find in a history book but rather it felt like you were reading an old diary from the 1800's, exposing some personal stories from this era, including secrets you would never know about Edgar Allan Poe for example. Courtney's passion for history and the preservation of Providence was evident during our time together.

Very enjoyable stroll on Benefit Street. Our tour guide was dressed for the part. She was very knowledgeable and well informed. Not only about the buildings but the people too.

Excellent historical tour. Interesting stories, well researched and delivered. I wanted it to last longer. I would definitely recommend.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was a wonderful way to learn the history, past notable residents who lived on Benefit street and early Providence history! The tour was very enjoyable and tour guide also answered everyone’s questions and more! I learned a lot, had fun and would highly recommend the tour.

We went on an afternoon stroll with Courtney on this amazing tour. Her knowledge, poise, pace, and storytelling skills are really a skill that shows her dedication and preparation for this tour. Please do not miss out on this experience. I just wanted for her to keep on going. Loved every minute of it and I learned so much from it! We definitely recommend her and the professionalism behind this company!

Highly recommend this tour! Learned so much fabulous information about Providence and its historical figures - based on firsthand, primary source research. We've been on many tours around the world and this one was one of the best!

My husband and I really enjoyed our tour with Courtney. She brought to life the architecture and history of Benefit Street with well researched information and great stories. Courtney was charming, engaging, and we learned so much about Providence's interesting past. Definitely recommend!

This tour was fun and informative. Our guide had so many exciting stories, which made it very entertaining. It differed from some tours, where the guide checks notes for each stop. It also ties history to today, and you can see the impact of the people and places that she talked about on the current city.

I had a really great time on this tour—the guide had unique and interesting stories from multiple centuries for various houses and buildings along Benefit Street. You learn about the founders and the Brown family and others into the late 1900s. The costume just added to it all! Highly recommend!

We just had a great tour in Providence! Our guide was excellent and very knowledgable about the history of the city, its founding, and the people who were important in its formation. We loved the pace of the tour, and we loved learning about the city this way!

We had 3 generations together for this fabulous tour - and learned so much in the space of 90 mins. There is truly so much interesting history to Benefit St and our guide did an incredible job weaving together interesting stories that only scratched the surface of her knowledge. She has clearly put a tremendous amount of work into the research and narration that made the time fly. It was fascinating to understand the street's lasting impact on our world and city. I'd highly recommend for anybody who lives in Providence or has the opportunity to visit!
