What’s Included
The Newport experience includes three self-guided tours:
- Newport Common Burying Ground Self-Guided Walking Tour: Explore one of Newport’s historic burial grounds while learning about people and events connected to the city’s past.
- Cliff Walk Audio Tour: Follow Newport’s famous coastal walkway while taking in ocean views and passing some of the city’s best-known mansions, including The Breakers, The Elms, and Marble House.

Discover Newport’s Gilded Age Legacy
Newport is closely associated with America’s Gilded Age, when wealthy families built elaborate summer residences along the city’s coastline. As you explore the area, the audio tours provide historical context surrounding the estates, their former residents, and the period that shaped Newport’s identity.
The stories include connections to prominent American families such as the Vanderbilts and Astors, offering insight into the people and social history behind Newport’s famous mansions.
Fans of period dramas may also recognize the scenery. Newport’s historic estates and locations have been featured in productions including HBO’s The Gilded Age, adding another connection between the city’s real history and its representation on screen.
Walk, Drive, and Explore
The combination of walking and driving tours makes it possible to experience different sides of Newport during the same trip.
Walk along the Cliff Walk to experience the relationship between the Atlantic coastline and the city’s historic estates. Later, explore Newport by car along Bellevue Avenue and Ocean Drive, where the scenery and architecture provide a different perspective of the area.
The self-guided format means there is no need to coordinate your day around a group itinerary. Pause when you want to take photographs, visit a mansion, stop for a meal, or explore another attraction before continuing your tour.
