Tours in Newport

Newport is a seaside city located in Rhode Island. It is well-known for its luxurious, Gilded Age mansions and its yacht-filled harbor. The architecture in Newport has been well maintained by the Preservation Society of Newport County, with many of the Gilded Age mansions now serving as museums.

Known for its luxurious mansions and yacht-filled harbor, Newport Tours offers its visitors many breathtaking sights and attractions to explore: - To explore the magnificent mansions we recommend a visit to The Breakers , the grandest of Newport’s summer “cottages”, built in the late 1800s originally built to house the influential Vanderbilt family with its over 70 rooms inside. - Another luxurious mansion we suggest you visit is The Elms , serving as the summer home for Edward Julius Berwind, a coal baron up until his death and until 1961, was one of the last Gilded Age styled Newport cottages. - Explore American history with a trip to Fort Adams , a former United States Army post known as a “marvel of military engineering”. - To wind down we recommend a Gansett Cruises Harbor Tour through the Narragansett Bay to enjoy a beautiful view of the skyline.
