Top Experiences in Touro Synagogue National Historic Site

Escape to the lovely coastal city of Newport, Rhode Island, on this day trip that includes both a guided tour and free time. Explore The Breakers Mansion (the summer home of Cornelius Vanderbilt II's family), as well as The Marble House (as seen in the movie The Great Gatsby). See top Newport attractions such as St Mary's Parish, Ocean Drive and the Naval War College on a narrated tour. Then discover this quaint and historic city further on your own. This small-group tour is limited to 20 people for a more intimate experience.

This walk will acquaint you with the layout of Newport while telling the story of how it became what it is now. As a private tour, you can customize what you would like to see or not see, but generally we start along the harbor- Newport's reason for existence- and then make our way through town along some of the more off-the-beaten paths. You'll hear how Newport went from being one of the most thriving and active Colonial cities to the getaway for 19th century Industrialists to the beautiful spot it is today.

While the original design of this tour is not particularly wheelchair friendly, it can easily be adapted to suit your needs. Please let us know if you have mobility concerns when booking your tour.

Walk the historic cobblestone streets of Newport's historic downtown, past quaint shops, wharfs, restaurants, and historic landmarks and discover their revolutionary history.
