The opulence as you step to the gate is overwhelming. It is hard to imagine people lived this way. Didn’t realize this was a self guided tour which was a great surprise. The tour was filled with great information and the dosents were helpful.
The Breakers is one of the largest mansions on the Cliff Walk. You can park near the 40 steps and walk about 1 mile or you can park closer though I wouldn’t recommend that as the Breaks and Cliff walk should be treated as a...More
Opulent, over the top, beautiful. Be sure to do the Beneath the Breakers tour as well - fascinating view of the physical plant that ran (and still runs) this amazing stately building.

Join the preservation society's membership so you can see all 5 (11 once high season kicks in) at your leisure. But don't do more than one in a day. We did 5 in 3 days, don't remember one from the other. No, no, no. See...More
Beautiful and great historical site. Didn't enjoy considering the vast injustice of the era. Still an interesting visit. We went on the underground tour which is also interesting and tour led instead of just the audio tour that they have on the house itself.
