Newport tours

Things to do in Newport

Newport has long been a summer playground for the rich and famous. With the Vanderbilts and their friends erecting summer "cottages" (oceanfront mansions) along much of the coastline, there's no shortage of architectural grandeur in this Rhode Island town. But there's also a thriving local music scene, charming colonial streets and evening sails out of the picturesque harbour. Take a private Newport tour and let a friendly guide show you how to enjoy their city like a local. Start your day with a wander through Newport's 18th century historic heart: see Bowen's Wharf, the Colony House and once thriving Brick Market. Newport Harbour is one of the most important yachting centres in the country, and you can find your own sea legs on a peaceful harbour cruise. Steady them afterwards with a walk along the cliffs, past the grand homes that dot Newport's coastline. Your guide will be happy to provide dining and entertainment suggestions for you to enjoy after your private Newport tour.
