    Thoroughly enjoyable tour in an air conditioned bus which was much appreciated on a very hot day. Rob, our driver and tour guide, was very personable and knowledgeable. You have more than enough time to tour The Breakers and it was great learning about the other important houses and Newport landmarks.

  • A must do!
