No first-time visit to Newport is complete without a guided tour of Touro Synagogue.
Aaron Ginsburg, a Newport native, CAI member, published historian, and passionate Touro aficionado provides public tours on a regular basis.
Space is limited and registration is required. Expect to spend around 45 minutes on the tour.
Security: Visitors should avoid bringing large bags or packages into the building and be prepared for a security check upon arrival.
We regret that there are no public restrooms, no parking, and that our historic building is not handicap-accessible.

We do our best to accommodate private groups. While we suggest capping your group to 25 participants, we will allow groups as large as 50. Groups are asked to contribute a flat rate of $150 for groups up to 10, $250 for groups of 11-25 participants, and $300 for up to 50 participants. For larger groups (or if you prefer to limit the size of your group) we ask that you submit separate request forms. Expect to spend around 45 minutes on the tour.
