Interesting history. The information center was educational and the staff was friendly. The tour was nice.

I was unaware of the fact that there is an important synagogue in Newport. The building is simple and beautiful and the lecture given as a tour was very interesting. President Washington as well as several other US Presidents have visited this site. It is the oldest surviving synagogue in the USA.

We didn't tour the synagogue because it was closed whenever we were looking for something to do in Newport. We did, however, admire it from the outside. The gardens are just beautiful and compliment the building nicely. We took a walking tour and this was one of the sites visited. Very interesting history...would be worth touring in the future.

Enjoyed seeing this building, the guide was very interesting. The building is lovely and in remarkable condition for such an old building. George Washington visited but I feel like he pretty much visited every church in the US. Worth seeing.

Go in for the lecture on the history of the synagogue which actually gives you history on the early days of Newport.

I'm very sorry to say that I did not come to Touro Synagogue for a tour but to pray, and, after walking a half hour from the hotel, I arrived just as services were over. The guard treated me like someone from the Mafia, REFUSED to let me in for even five minutes, and then offered to "take care of it" meaning me, to the Rabbi, when he finally came out. Okay, rules are rules, but that is ridiculous, and they have this hideous antiquated Board of Directors (ie the people who pay) and one stuffed shirt actually called me "absolutely abhorrent". I felt like a criminal, and, as a woman alone, it was really a humiliating way to spend the Jewish holiday of Sukkos.

I've been wanting to see this place for a long time and was pleased to have the opportunity returning home from a trip to Boston. My only complaint is that we were not permitted to go upstairs. Beautifully preserved with a very nice visitors center.

A wonderful piece of Jewish American history. Our tour guide was excellent and really made this colonial era building come alive!

The synagogue and the museum show what is unique about the inherent toleration of American society. This value is hardwired into the American constitution and ethos.

This tour and museum was so interesting to discover facts of the early Jewish people in the area and beyond! A great discovery for history buffs
