Rhode Island’s (RI) official name “State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations” makes it the US state with the longest name. Despite its long name, it is the smallest state in the United States. While this may just be a place that you pass through to get to neighboring states like New York, Boston, or Cape Cod, there is actually a lot of things to do in this charming state. Packed with a rich history, RI gives you the chance to learn about indigenous Indian tribes and see historic villages. It also conducts annual festivals and events along the canals in downtown where you can enjoy a multisensory experience with music and art installations. You can ride on Venetian-style gondolas or see the gorgeous riverfront and admire the superb architecture. Nature lovers can explore wooded forests or see scenic coastlines. Also, you can enjoy its beautiful beaches and taste a diverse array of cuisine.

Rhode Island Tour Guide
Naim Benmayor
<p>As a Boston tour guide, I have the added experience of being a world traveler. For many years, I frequently visited Europe, Asia, and Latin America on business. During this time, I also organized tours of the USA, Europe and Asia for my business clients. I now bring this passion, excitement and expertise to the Boston area.</p><p>By exploring the globe, I was exposed to various cultures, and this unique perspective has taught me what appeals to people when visiting a new part of the country or a new part of the world. My fluency in English and Turkish, and my advanced skills in Spanish and intermediate skills in French, also help me to service a wider range of tourists and business people.</p><p>I moved to Boston, Massachusetts several years ago, and I now reside in Brookline. I have three children, so I develop my tours to accommodate families with kids, couples, and individuals who want to visit and learn about the rich history and culture of Boston. As a parent, I know that Boston is a great place for higher education, and I have knowledge of the colleges and universities in the area.</p><p>I customize tours to suit the needs and preferences of my customers. Whether you want a walking tour, a riding tour, or a little of both, I can create an itinerary that showcases the best of what Boston has to offer.</p><p>My one day tours are educational and entertaining, and include the history, culture, personalities, architecture and, even the shopping areas of this renowned city. At the end of the tour you will be happy and satisfied when you realize you've seen so much in just a short time.</p><p>I am here to share my knowledge of Boston, Cambridge and all of New England with you, and help you to enjoy your visit so you can explore the must-see parts of this great city.
