Start a journey to discover the city known for its picturesque Gilded Age mansions. Discover how the rich in turn-of-the-century America made and spent their money. This 12-mile-long tour covers the essentials of scenic Newport, Rhode Island, in 1-2 hours.

The tour will start from the Visitor Center on America’s Cup Avenue. You will hear the story of Gilded Age America and how it shaped the future. While driving, you will next see the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Newport has its share of museums, so the next attraction on the drive would be the Audrain Auto Museum.
