Nice Newport overview
Great overview of Newport and its history. A little hard to see some of the things mentioned. Also, a little hard to understand the guide at times but overall a good experience. Our ticket included a tour of the Breakers or Marbles house. We saw the Marble but would recommend seeing Breakers instead. You really are limited to seeing only a few rooms in the Marble.
