Review & FAQ:

Exquisitely constructed during the 1800s, the mansions of Newport once formed a coastal village of summer cottages, housing the era’s wealthiest families. Among the neighborhood mansions are The Breakers, Marble House, The Elms, and Rosecliff.

The estates are within walking distance of one another; perfect for a day’s stroll through luxury. Families should plan to spend 1.5 hours at each mansion.

State-of-the-art digital audio players and smart phone apps allow self-guided tours. During The Breakers tour, families will be transported to another time, through imaginative first-person accounts of life in the house from members of the family, servants, and children.
