The tour was comprehensive. Most of the sights were on the left so choose your seat wisely 😉. Winter tours offer unobstructed views of properties which was really nice. The Breakers was great and were given the exact right amount of time to explore.

Excellent tour guide, very informative and a great way to see the city. We had extra time at the mansion tour to walk a short portion of the cliffwalk also. Spectacular views!

Knowledgeable tour guide who had a sense of humor. Surprisingly, the trolley was well-heated in the midst of winter so there was no need to bundle up - wear layers.
