Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Newport Mansions. Six remarkable audio tours bring you a new and unique perspective on the lives of the people who lived and worked in the grand mansions of Newport. Based on diaries, letters, records and oral histories, these audio tours offer the personal stories of the men and women who lived in each house and the household staff who cared for them. Also, be sure to download The Children's Tours offered at both The Breakers and Marble House. These audio tours are geared to visitors under 13.
