Czego oczekiwać

Cliff Walk

We embark on a 3.5-mile walk of Rhode Island's most popular attraction. Along the way, we pass by many Gilded Age mansions and discuss the origin stories and peculiarities of the families that lived there.

Salve Regina University

Many of the buildings that comprise this Catholic University were once Gilded Age mansions or supporting buildings on the estate. Ochre Court and Vineland Estate are two former estates that were donated to the University when their owners finally couldn't bear the costs. Hear their stories as you walk past these elegant homes.

The Breakers

You will walk past the largest mansion in Newport, once the summer home to the Vanderbilt family. You may exit the Cliff Walk and tour the interior if you wish (separate fee applies).

Marble House

As you walk past this elaborate mansion, we will talk about its original owner, Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt, and how she tore open the previously closed door to Newport's polite society, reshaping its power structure.

Rough Point Museum

This mansion was the home of heiress and socialite Doris Duke, who led an eccentric lifestyle. Learn about "the richest little girl in the world," how she lived, and how she might have gotten away with murder (only the ghosts know for sure).

We loved this audio guided walking tour! It was by far the best way to see the beauty of the gilded age cliff side mansions. While this was perfect for us, it’s definitely not for everyone. The overall walk was about 4 miles and there were several areas where we had to walk across jagged rocks so I would only recommend it for active experienced hikers.

Hi Debra Thanks for the great review and I'm glad that you enjoyed the tour. Just so that folks are aware, the first half of the walk is paved and generally accessible to all. I have a marker in the narration that will guide you off of the Cliff Walk before it becomes uneven. Some may wish to enjoy the earlier points of interest that include 40-Steps, the Breakers, Salve-Regina University and a few others before turning back or catching the trolly back to the beginning.

The walk itself was gorgeous and liked the fact that the audio knew where you were to start the commentary on at the proper location. The information was interesting. Did not like the fact that several times it told us we were off course when we were not. Also thought the audio should have stated that the tour started at stop 3 on the cliff walk.

Initially I needed a bit of help getting the app downloaded and the host Gregg was very responsive and helpful. I enjoyed the stories—they were informative with fun facts. Thank you for providing this tour experience.
