Q: What should I wear for the tour? Is it mostly outdoor or indoor?

A: You'll want to dress comfortably since part of the tour is outdoors, especially exploring the grounds of Monticello. I recommend wearing good walking shoes and checking the weather beforehand since it can get hot or rainy, depending on the season!

A: Kids are totally welcome on the tour! There isn’t an official age limit, but the tour guide does a good job of keeping it engaging for kids. Just keep in mind the walking involved, so consider your child's stamina. Many families bring their kids and have a great time!

Considering the Monticello tour as a gift — worth it?

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about getting the Monticello private tour from DC as a gift for my history-loving boyfriend. Has anyone done it? How's the drive and overall experience? I love the idea of the air-conditioned bus since it's still kinda hot out. Any tips on what to expect?
