Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the private tour at The Hermitage?

A: There isn't a strict age limit for the private tour, but it's best suited for ages 12 and up. Younger kids can join, but they might not find the history as engaging. Just make sure they can handle a bit of walking since the tour covers the mansion and grounds.

Q: What's the parking situation like at The Hermitage?

A: Parking is pretty straightforward. There's a large lot right at The Hermitage, and it's free for visitors. Just get there a bit early, especially on weekends, since it can fill up fast during peak times. Private transportation is also an option if you prefer not to drive.

Q: What should I wear for the tour at The Hermitage?

A: Comfort is key! Wear comfy shoes since there’ll be a lot of walking on uneven ground. Dress for the weather, since parts of the tour are outdoors in the garden. Layers are a good idea if it's chilly in the morning but warms up later. It's a casual vibe, so no need to dress up.

Thinking about gifting the Hermitage tour—any thoughts?

I’m considering this private tour of Andrew Jackson's Hermitage for my history-loving boyfriend’s birthday. He’s super into early American history, and I found a price range of $0, which seems too good to be true? Has anyone done this? What’s the tour like? Is it really private?

Had the best time at The Hermitage!

I just got back from the private Andrew Jackson's Hermitage tour, and wow, what an experience! The guide was super engaging, and the mansion is stunning. I loved learning about Jackson’s life and the beautiful gardens were a perfect backdrop. I’d say it’s great for anyone interested in history. Just be ready for walking!
