This was our first visit to Monticello. I allowed for a full day to accommodate tours we booked online, in advance, and the Jefferson Vineyard down the road. We got here early and did the Behind the Scenes house tour first which also included the upper floors and the dome room. There was a little more emphasis on Jefferson, the architect, and the ongoing changes he made to the house when we got to the dome room, but it was interesting. Our tour guide was amazing. I learned so much about Jefferson. If I were to add anything, it might be more emphasis on his presidency. It was there, but lacking a bit in my opinion. I had heard the tours were a little heavy on slavery, but that was not my experience with the house tour. However, there was a separate tour of the slave quarters/slaves which we did not go on. I heard it going on as we were walking back from the garden tour, which I would also recommend. It is hard to get all the tours in on one day, so we ended up having to pick and choose. There is a path for Jefferson’s gravesite, which is down the hill from the mansion. You can walk it, but we opted to take the shuttle as it had rained that morning. The house up on the hill is a separate location from the museum, film, gift shop, and café which is down the hill. Since we started with an early morning tour, we checked out everything we wanted to see at the house/grounds first before taking the shuttle back down and visiting the museum and gift shop. We ended the day at the Jefferson Vineyard which is about 1½ miles down the road. Monticello is definitely worth the visit. The home and estate are beautiful with the most amazing views. I also learned so much about Jefferson from this trip. However, I would plan on a full day.

This was my 3rd visit in as many decades, this time with 3 young adults, only 1 of whom had been here as a child. This was an unplanned stop for us on our way home from Williamsburg, having left earlier than planned because of Hurricane Debby. We're so glad we did, because it finished off our vacation perfectly. No disappointment! We all loved it and learned so much. House tours are guided and narrated - Kudos to our guide Peter! He was wonderful! So knowledgeable and entertaining, and he obviously loves his job interacting with visitors! You can take any photos you'd like inside the home, moving around the rooms pretty freely, with artifacts roped off for preservation. (Be prepared: No sitting inside the home.) The home is beautiful, and Jefferson is all over it, in the artwork, the artifacts, the architecture. The house tour includes the 1st floor only. Once you're outside, you can visit the cellar and grounds at our leisure. There is plenty of signage throughout these exhibits and gardens, so you can learn about the backstairs life of the slaves. Make sure you walk through the gardens - the flowers are lovely, and butterflies abound! Parking is free - although you do have to walk uphill to get to the visitors center. (There is a passenger drop-off area near the building if needed.) Purchase tickets at the visitors center for various tour options - we did the Highlights Tour. Tickets are pricey, but the money goes directly into sustaining this wonderful home and its history and educating the public. A shuttle bus takes you to the top of the mountain and back down from the house (or from the cemetery, if you choose to walk the path down that far - it's a climb, so not suggested for everyone). There is a cafe on the mountaintop near the home. And there is a mini-museum with more artifacts and Thomas Jefferson details at the visitors center, along with a very nice gift shop, where you can purchase Jefferson, Monticello, or colonial souvenirs. (I got a great Jefferson biography as my souvenir!) Relaxing, educational, and the views throughout the home and from the mountaintop to the surrounding area are spectacular!

This was our second visit to Monticello. We could definitely see the improvements and additions that have been made, which was good, BUT…., years ago, we learned a lot about Thomas Jefferson. We learned about his service to our country, his brilliant mind, and diverse talents. Today I learned he owned slaves (pretty sure I knew this already), he was a conflicted and horrible man, oh, and it was off -handedly mentioned that he was the third president. To be clear, I hate that we had slavery. I hate that it’s part of our history. I think the story needs to be told, but when we hear slavery mentioned 90% more than we hear about the third President, it leaves me disappointed. I think there could be a better balance.

Thank you for sharing your perspective about your experience visiting Monticello. We strive to present a complete and historically accurate view of Thomas Jefferson and Monticello based on thorough research and primary sources. This includes presenting Jefferson's remarkable achievements as a founder of the United States, while also discussing the lives of enslaved people who lived on the Monticello plantation.

While the old home is nice, the visit to Monticello was very disappointing. I hoped to learn about Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of our great country. Rather, what I learned from the Staff and various displays was how Mr Jefferson mistreated (and had sex with) the "enslaved people" that were held in bondage at Monticello. The organization or people in charge of this facility are propagating rumors, half-truths or lies about Thomas Jefferson and apparently feel good about their efforts. The vist was a total disappointment.

Highs and lows to our visit. Highs, the grounds are well maintained and sights clearly sign posted. Took the Slavery tour which was very well delivered and informative, and there were plenty of benches to be seated whilst listening, and all were in shade. Also good efficient shuttle bus system.
Lows. We found that drinks were very expensive, but there was a reasonable choice at the upper level of the estate. However having walked down, we found the cafe shut at 4.00, even though the site is open till 5.00. The shop had a vending machine but only a very limited drink choice. This was very disappointing.
Couldn’t bring myself to tour the house after hearing how slaves were regarded as nothing but property and sexually exploited by Jefferson.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent visit to Monticello. We are glad you hear that you found the Slavery at Monticello tour to be very informative, as well as being accessible with the many benches that offer seating while listening to the guide. We are also pleased to hear that you found our transportation system to be efficient in traveling between the Mountaintop and visitor center. We are sorry to hear about your experience with drinks and the café being closed upon returning to the visitor center. We will share your feedback with the appropriate staff.

SO glad we went. I was a little hesitant after reading some reviews that said the tour guides were biased but I didn't find them to be biased in any respect. We toured the home and the also made the slave tour and both were informative and factual. I appreciate that Monticello has been preserved so well and that I was able to learn from these expert guides. It is worth the money!

We were a little disappointed that while the home was nice to visit it was expensive and instruction of what to do and when was lacking. While a shuttle takes you to the home the lack and marking of restrooms was disappointing. The group we were in was large and while the home looks large some of the rooms were small. Parking was very far away and quite uphille to the entry. The show we waited to see was late in starting and we could hav entered immediately as it is replayed after about a 10 minute break. THey do offer a $10 reduction in price for veterans

Monticello was our second stop of a five stop tour of Virginia and West Virginia and it was by far the BEST! Tour guides take you back to the 1700's, sharing insight into the remarkable life of Thomas Jefferson. The building and grounds are immaculate and steeped in history. Put this one on your list of places not to miss!

The hour-long enslaved person tour at Monticello adds important perspective to life on Thomas Jefferson's magnificent plantation. Our tour guide was informed, thoughtful, insightful about the lives lived by slaves there, including Sally Hemings, who had four children with Jefferson. It wasn't all that many years ago when no such perspective was available to visitors, but it is now -- and well worth the time for current visitors.
The separate talk by an actor (Bill Barker) portraying Jefferson was an added plus since he seemed to bear an uncanny resemblance to the third president. And he was generous with his time after his talk in posing for photos with a long line of interested visitors -- and stayed in character as well!

Parking was plentiful, and each worker we encountered was kind and helpful. The shuttle got us up the hill in plenty of time for our tour, so we walked around a bit. I liked how organized the tour prep was (you wait in certain areas, and then move as your tour time gets closer). Our tour guide, Bob, was knowledgeable, and he did a great job explaining each room of the house for us. Our daughter wasn’t feeling well, and he made sure to check on her throughout the duration of our tour. His kindness and understanding was very much appreciated. We had to leave right after our tour and I hope to go back someday and stay for much longer to explore all that Monticello has to offer.

Can anyone tell me about taking the train from DC to Charletville, VA?
Đã viết vào 4 tháng 11, 2023
We would like to take the Self Guided tour. These appear to only be offered in the late afternoon (after 3:30) leaving us just a few hours afterwards. Are we allowed to take the shuttle bus up to the grounds before our tour time so we can see the grounds earlier, and then do our 3:30 self guided tour? It doesn't seem like 2 hours would be enough to see everything when their earliest self guided tour is 3:30. Thanks!

Yep! We were able to walk the grounds whenever we got there, but took the tour at our scheduled time.

We have two small dogs. Is there someplace to leave them during the tour?
Đã viết vào 11 tháng 6, 2022
There is no kennel facility at this destination. If pets are found left in vehicles, they are likely to be reported to security or the local sheriff's office. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are permitted on the property but not inside the house. Guests with dogs walk the trail from the Visitor Center up to the mountaintop to visit outside the house and walk the gardens. If you have more than one person in your party, it is suggested you purchase, and you'd both like to visit inside the house, purchase separate tour times; while one person is in the house, the other can be with the dog, then swap places.

When there is lightning detected on or near the property, guided outdoor tours are suspended. House tours continue for those guests already on the mountaintop. If guests are at the visitor center, they will not be transported to the mountaintop until the weather has cleared (aka no lightning). In the event bad weather is forecast, dress appropriately.

There are some benches outside the house. I don't think there is anywhere you are allowed to sit down inside the house.
