“Better be prepared to walk closer to 4 to 5 hours. Nice tour. We ended up doing it over two days and taking a Lyft back. Summer heat.”
Walk Newport’s Cliff Walk with GPS-triggered audio stories about the Gilded Age, iconic mansions, and the fight to keep it public.
“Overall, it was an excellent experience having the audio guide vs. just doing the walk without it. The only complaint is that occasionally we would get kicked out of the audio and have to get back into it. It was a slight nuisance, but still worth having the audio experience.”
Self-guided audio walk through Salem’s Witch Trials sites, Corwin locations, and Hawthorne stops, with offline maps and lifetime access.
“The tour was great, bring headphones if going during busy times but we all thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to returning.”
