Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Brush Hill Tours, 8 Park Plz, Boston, MA 02116-3952
After meeting at Park Plaza or being picked up from your select downtown Boston hotel, your guide will take you by air-conditioned coach to Newport, located 1.5 hours away. This New England city has been known for decades as a popular vacation resort for the rich and famous, and is truly a dazzling sight during the holidays.
Stop At: The Breakers, 44 Ochre Point Ave, Newport, RI 02840-6906
Enter The Breakers, a 70-room mansion on 11 acres (4.5 hectares) of oceanfront land. Learn how this was the vacation home of Cornelius Vanderbilt II of the famous Vanderbilts, a 19th-century American family who rose to social nobility due to their enormous success in the railroad and shipping industry. Have your camera ready as you admire the elaborate holiday decorations of this opulent palace -- the grandest of Newport's summer 'cottages' of the New York elite.
Stop At: Bowen's Wharf, 13 Bowens Wharf, Newport, RI 02840-3004
You’ll have 2 hours of free time to grab lunch, browse local shops for last-minute holiday gifts, and sip a cup of cocoa on a stroll along the waterfront.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Bellevue Avenue, Bellevue Ave., Newport, RI
Travel down historic Bellevue Avenue, home of the famous Newport Mansions.
Stop At: Marble House, 596 Bellevue Ave, Newport, RI 02840-4265
Afterward, continue your tour to William K Vanderbilt’s vacation home, Marble House, a 19th-century mansion made of white marble. Observe the stately exterior and be amazed by the house's elaborate Christmas decorations as you tour the lavish interior. This gilded mansion is said to have been inspired by the 18th-century Petit Trianon at Versailles. Your guide will explain how William carried on his family’s fortune to become the richest man in the world by the time of his death in 1877.
Stop At: Ocean Drive, Newport, RI
After your tour, sit back and relax as you drive along Ocean Drive (10-Mile Drive) and admire the spectacular views of mansions and coves dusted with snow before returning to Boston.

Three college friends joined me on the trip to Newport. We had a wonderful time! The coach/ride was comfortable and informative. The mansions were amazing and even more beautifully decorated for Christmas. The coach driver was friendly, knowledgeable and guided us to great places to eat for lunch. I would do the trip again!
We loved this tour- Newport is lovely and the houses spectacular. Well worth going on and would highly recommend to anyone who loved Christmas.
Loved it!
The driver Dave Egan, was very nice, polite, funny and informative. Easy drive. Beatuful mansions. Only downfall, we were a bit rushed. Home by 730 instead of 630 would have been better.
