'Cribs' for the Really Rich Tours

Remember being dragged along on that neverending historical tour when you were a kid? The only thing we can recall is finally getting to the gift shop and getting that classy keychain we promptly lost.

Well, it seems someone has finally caught on. The Breakers, the awe-inspiring 70-room summer home (well, isn't your summer home at least 50 rooms?!) of the Vanderbilts in Newport is now offering unique personalized tour packages guaranteed to keep everyone happy. They are run by the Preservation Society of Newport County and available at any of the city's 10 mega mansions.

For the kids there's a family tour peppered with relatable facts, for the adults there is an after-hours tour of The Elms, for the singles there's drinks at a 1920s speakeasy at the Astors' Beechwood Mansion and for the mother-in-laws there's a ladies who lunch terrace dining tour.

Admissions start at $18 to $25 and reservations are required. Oh, they do private tours too--so you can invite some friends, close your eyes and pretend that yes, you really do live there.
