Welcome to Newport! I am a local historian and 10th-generation Rhode Islander eager to show you this beautiful state. Whether you're here to uncover the city's rich history or bask on our sunny beaches, I'm eager to show you Newport's iconic landmarks and hidden gems of the city. Our unique and immersive tours will go beyond the guidebooks with little-known histories, insider recommendations, and a personal understanding of how Rhode Island's history has shaped its present. As a PhD student in architectural history, I bring academic passion to the city along with my personal experience. Together, we'll create unforgettable memories as we delve into the vibrant culture and history of the region.

Sophie is a fount (fountain!) of expertise, wisdom, humor, humanity. We had a wonderful day. If you’ve never seen Newport, or coming back for the nth time, see it with Sophie! Ken and Amy

Sophie’s knowledge is encyclopedic, and her love for Newport and its history is apparent. We feel we understand Newport—its antecedents to the gilded age, the gilded age itself (which she explained was process rather than simply a tableau), and modern Newport. She entertained us nonstop for two wonderful hours.

Sophie was a top class and very knowledgeable tour guide. One of the best we have ever had with Tours By Locals.

Sophie was amazing. Incredibly informed about facts over several centuries of Newport history. Her vehicle was extremely comfortable and it was nice to walk a bit for parts of the tour. I would TOTALLY book her again!!!!
