The Inside the Gilded Age tour is the best tour I have ever been on. I take a lot of private tours of historic places and I am a big fan of the HBO series. This is not meant to be a comprehensive tour of the mansions. I did that on my own but this tour does exactly what it says and more Melanie and Ray are outstanding guides. The tour was informative and a whole lot of fun with a lot of insider tidbits. The transportation around the mansions was seamless and comfortable. There was even a wonderful stop for refreshments. Inside the Gilded Age tour with Melanie and Ray was definitely the best experience I had in Newport out of the many wonderful times I had visiting the mansions. Membership to the Preservation Society is included in the price and I felt I got my moneys worth and then some

I will never step foot on any preservations properties again. I am a life time member who drive almost 4 hours out of state for a trip to Newport and the mansions and am not allowed on the property without prove a covid 10 vaccine. This is discriminatory and flat out not lawful and breaks human rights laws. Rode island has lifted all mandates. I was here in 2020 in the heat of covid and was able to tour the mansions with no problem, just a mask. Even in NY where I live they lifted all mandates. Shame on your organization!

It was a dream come true to finally be able to explore the mansions along the cliff walk. The guided and audio tours were fascinating. I hope to return soon.

If I purchase a 5 mansion ticket do I have to visit them all in one day?

Cindy Evers | Sep 3, 2019
Lucy Kinsley | Sep 2, 2020

The Preservation Society honors unused admissions on tickets forever. Not only do you not need to visit 5 properties in one day, you don't need to visit them in the same year. Note that if you intend to visit 3 house museums, this is your best ticket value.
