Check out historic Charlottesville and a fully guided tour of Thomas Jefferson’s sprawling plantation on a private tour to Monticello from Washington, DC. Climb aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned or heated SUV vehicle for transport from the capital to Charlottesville, to discover more about the exploits of the third US president. The two-hour drive from the city is punctuated by interesting sights and scenery, including historic Civil War battlegrounds and Virginia’s Quantico, home of the FBI Academy. On arrival at the estate, you’ll embark on an expert guided Monticello private tour to learn all about the founding father’s unique way of life. Perched atop a hill, there is more to this elegant estate than meets the eye. Afterward, you’ll also have a chance to explore the city of Charlottesville and stop for lunch at the Michie Tavern, established in 1784.
