I finally got around to doing the Explore Newport Cliff Walk tour this past weekend, and wow, it was amazing! The views of the ocean are breathtaking, and the stories about the mansions are super interesting. I downloaded the app and it worked perfectly. I took my time and ended up going for about 2.5 hours. Perfect for a sunny day!
