Bellevue Avenue is the scenic thoroughfare in Newport lined with grand mansions, many dating from the Gilded Age in the late 19th century. This 2.5-mile stretch features architectural styles ranging from Beaux-Arts to Shingle Style, with notable examples including The Breakers and Rosecliff.
Walking or biking along Bellevue Avenue allows for leisurely exploration of these opulent homes and the picturesque views of the Atlantic Ocean beyond.

“My husband and I are still raving about the wonderful Historic Scenic Tour through Newport with Lady Ella Rose. This was our 12th visit to Newport, and we've experienced several tours, but none compare to hers. From the moment we boarded the bus, we were welcomed by a charming lady dressed in an exquisite Gilded Age outfit, making us feel like we were in another era. Her engaging personality, humor, and infectious energy truly stood out. Lady Ella Rose's extensive knowledge of Newport's history is remarkable; she has an impressive way of sharing stories with a rich and captivating voice. If you're considering a tour, she is absolutely the one to choose. I would rate this a perfect 10/10. Additionally, after the tour, I realized I had left my phone on the bus, which was quite alarming. I returned to the pickup spot to find the bus had already left. After reaching out to Lady Ella, she promptly returned my call and kindly went back to the bus, even though she was already home. She found my phone and offered to bring it to our B&B. I was immensely thankful for her help, which prevented me from having to buy a new phone. Thank you, Lady Ella Rose, for an unforgettable tour and for going above and beyond. Wishing you much success in your business. Much love, Vivian and Quentin Tyler.”— quentint449 on the Historic sightseeing tour of Newport tour
