Our experienced guide will pick travelers up from their hotel and drive to Monticello, one of Virginia's World Heritage Sites. During the drive, our guide will provide important background information to prepare for Monticello's grounds (30 minutes), tour of the house (approx 45 to 90 minutes), slavery tour (approx 60 minutes), presentations (approx 30 minutes), events (if any are available), gravesite (10 minutes) & discuss Thomas Jefferson and other Founding Fathers. After thoroughly touring Monticello and its grounds, our guide can make lunch recommendations and then proceed back to Williamsburg. If guests choose to take the "Behind the Scenes" Tour, it is recommended to purchase tickets as soon as possible because they sell out quickly. If guests choose the "Highlights" tour, it is required to purchase tickets ahead of time. For more information on the different tours at Monticello, it is recommended to visit their website.
