Trolley was comfortable (think motorcoach bus seats, padded), and our driver had great stories and narration throughout the tour. We stopped at the Breakers and 90 minutes was plenty of time to explore the mansion and its grounds. Our driver was punctual to the minute - there was no waiting around for late comers.

Prior to a customer purchasing our tour ticket on either Trip Advisor or Viator, there is a bullet point under "Additional Info" that reads "Please bring earbuds to hear Breakers audio tour on your smart phone" Once the purchase is made, similar verbiage again appears on the receipt. This information has been there since the pandemic began when PSNC stopped issuing digital headsets at the front door of the Breakers. We hope you enjoyed to opulence of the Breakers otherwise! Thanks for coming to Newport.

Our driver and tour guide was exceptional. He was a great storyteller and added just enough humor. It was a perfect day weather wise. We even got to tour the Eisenhower home.
