Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this van tour in Newport?

A: There's no specific age limit for the Historic Highlights van tour, but it's really geared towards adults and older kids who can appreciate the history. That said, younger kids are welcome too! Just keep in mind it might not hold their attention for the entire 90 minutes. Always best to check with the provider if you have very young children.

Q: What should I wear for the van tour? Is it comfortable?

A: Dress casually! Newport can be pretty warm in the summer, so light clothing is ideal. Also, the van is air-conditioned, so you'll be comfortable inside. I'd suggest wearing comfy shoes since you'll want to hop in and out of the van at some points for pics.

Q: Can I reschedule the van tour if something comes up?

A: Yes, you can usually reschedule the tour with a bit of notice. It's best to check the specific policy when booking, but most providers are pretty flexible. Just reach out to them directly if you need to make changes.

Just did the Gilded Age van tour in Newport - loved it!

We went on the Historic Highlights van tour last weekend and it was amazing! Our guide knew so much about the history of Newport and the Gilded Age. We stopped at all the famous mansions but only viewed them from the van, which was actually nice because it wasn't crowded at all. The whole tour was about 90 minutes, and it felt just right. Perfect for a relaxing day out!

Considering the van tour as a gift for my parents!

I'm thinking about this Historic Highlights van tour for my parents' anniversary. They love history and Newport! I’m worried about them being comfortable during the ride. Has anyone done it recently? Are the seats comfy enough for older folks?
