Washington to Monticello Tour
We are the only company that delivers a Washington to Monticello Tour daytrip. Via private luxury SUV with your own guide, explore Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s plantation near Charlottesville, Virginia. To understand Jefferson, one must understand Monticello. It can be seen as his autobiographical statement.
We will begin our visit at the visitor’s center where lunch is available and museum exhibits can be viewed. In addition, we will enter the mansion house for a guided one-hour staff led tour. Experience an ornamental landscape, a farm, a plantation, a small mountain, and a large and diverse community. This historic site encapsulated the interests, talents, ideals, ambitions, and realities of its creative and complex owner. The experience of the enslaved community at Monticello will also be explored. Furthermore, a respectful visit to Jefferson’s burial site will be made.
Includes admission fees to the mansion and grounds for up to five guests.
Fun facts!
In 1934, Franklin Roosevelt personally contacted the Commission of Fine Arts about creating a memorial for Thomas Jefferson, whom Roosevelt admired. The memorial was officially dedicated by Roosevelt on April 13, 1943, the 200th anniversary of Jefferson’s birthday.
We will more than likely, pass by the Jefferson Memorial on our way back to Washington. Ask us to make a stop there to end our day.
