Newport Treasures Gilded Mansions Trip

Newport
Treasures Gilded Mansions Trip:

Perched on Aquidneck Island along Rhode Island’s scenic coastline, Newport is a
timeless blend of maritime charm, Gilded Age elegance, and fresh ocean air. In
the spring, the city awakens with blooming gardens, mild temperatures, and a
relaxed atmosphere, making it one of the best times to explore before peak
summer crowds arrive.

Newport is world-famous for its opulent Gilded Age mansions, built as summer
“cottages” by America’s wealthiest families in the late 1800s. These estates
are more like European palaces than homes and touring them feels like stepping
into another era. There are several to visit with the two perhaps well recognized
being The Breakers and the Elms

You will visit two mansions for self-guided visits as part of the tour. One of the
mansions will be The Breakers.  Access to
other mansions can be added at additional cost. You will enjoy plenty of free time
to explore downtown Newport with its maritime history and quaint architecture,
wonder the cobblestoned streets lined with colonial homes take a stroll around Newport
Harbor. Also enjoy the local cuisine with many restaurants and coffee shops around.

For those interested, there will also be an opportunity to experience the renowned Cliff Walk one
of Newport’s signature attractions.  This breathtaking coastal path l combines rugged Atlantic views with backyard views
of the mansions. Newport, Rhode Island, is truly an East Coast gem, captivating thousands of visitors
each year with its beauty, history, and timeless charm.
