Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Brush Hill Tours, 8 Park Plz, Boston, MA 02116-3952
After pickup from your Boston hotel, sit back and relax on the 1.5-hour drive south to Newport, Rhode Island. When you arrive, you'll see why this fabulous New England resort city is nicknamed the 'Sailing Capital of the World.'
Stop At: Ocean Drive, Newport, RI
Learn about the city's colonial heritage on your scenic drive along Ocean Drive (10-Mile Drive), affording views of historic mansions, beaches and secluded coves. This epic stretch of road is lined with jaw-dropping million-dollar mansions that were once the 19th-century houses of the New York elite, who fled the big city during the summer to Rhode Island. These mega-mansions played a role in transforming Newport’s coast from a quiet summer colony of quaint cottages to a legendary resort town brimming with opulent estates.
Stop At: The Breakers, 44 Ochre Point Ave, Newport, RI 02840-6906
Your first stop is The Breakers, the former home of the Vanderbilt family and a US National Historic Landmark. As you'll learn on your walking tour, this is the grandest of Newport's summer 'cottages,' and was a symbol of the family's social and financial reputation at turn of the century.
Stop At: Marble House, 596 Bellevue Ave, Newport, RI 02840-4265
In the afternoon, you'll visit a second mansion, Marble House, another home of the Vanderbilt family and a US National Historic Landmark. Take a guided walking tour to fully appreciate the grandiose of this majestic piece of property; the interior of this Gilded Age mansion is a sight to be seen.
After your tour, enjoy more views of Newport's mansions and beaches from afar on your return journey along Ocean Drive back to Boston.

This being my first trip to Newport i have to say i was very impressed. I've been on city tours before and it felt like a tour. This did not feel like just a tour. James was very informative. He took his time explaining things and made sure the we saw everything there was to see. I don't feel like i missed anything. Would definitely recommend this trip!!! Well worth the money!
James Allen was our guide, and we were entertained and enlightened by his constant attention to all the details of the Newport tour. We learned so much. Everyone had such a good time due to the attention Mr. Allen paid to each of us and his ability to include everyone in his presentation. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone coming to a Boston.
1 hour for each of the mansion is simply insufficient, i would recommend at least 2.5. The 2 hours lunchbreak is far too long as there was nothing much to see.
Great day. Our driver was extremely well versed on history and gave us a very fun and interesting day. I would recommend this tour.
Amazing place to visit. The tour guide knows a lot about the history of the place,
It's interesting because you can visit 2 gorgeous Mansione of Newport and you can walk waterfront enjoying the harbour and alla the restaurants
Out of our whole time in Boston, this was our favorite tour! It is about an 1.5 hour drive each way, but it is worth it. The mansions are amazing- so elaborate and arguably fancier than Buckingham Palace on the inside. The Marble House was the better of the two, but the Breakers was enjoyable as well. You also get a decent amount of time to walk around the town and grab a bite to eat. It's a very cute town and definitely worth the visit. Highly recommend!
