We traveled from DC for the day, 3 hr trip then spent 3 hours there ( plenty of onsite activity beyond the house tour ) had lunch onsite and 3 hours back to downtown DC. Very informative of the life and times of Jefferson and a comparison to Washington and Mt Vernon. A great tour if you have the time.

I thought that the tour to the Madison was very thorough. The guide Marjorie was knowledgeable and gave detailed information. She took the time to explain all facts. The driver and guide Halper was knowledgeable about the facts of Thomas Jefferson. His driving ability was highly skilled.

My husband and I had a wonderful day trop to Monticello with our very knowledgeable driver/guide, Galen. He went out of his way to help us plan our time there to make the most of it, which was great. It was quite a long drive there and back but the comfort stops he planned along the way made it enjoyable.
Alper was wonderful and very accommodating . Had a great tour both driving there and at the premises. Highly recommend it!

A wonderful day in the Virginia countryside,though a bit breezy on the Monticello site. It was a comfortable van ride with Alper, who was an engaging, and informative tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour and tour guide. Using the DC metro made it easy to get to the meet up location.
