Terrific trip. Loved the stop at Michie Tavern going down, which had great food and an entertaining tour. Monticello was beautiful, and the tour was excellent; had enough time to see the house and shop, but it was just too hot to tour the gardens also.

It was a great day. I enjoyed every moment and had a great lunch at Michie Tavern. This tour is worth doing.

The trip down to and back from Monticello was extraordinary. Most of it was spent looking at the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our tour guide took us on back roads rather than major highways and we got a narrative about the Civil War battles that occurred at the places we visited. Our stop at Michie's Tavern was great. My brother is in a wheel chair, and we found the whole tour accessible. It was a marvelous day.

I can only say this would have been absolutely fabulous if the weather had been nice. We had a very rainy, cold day, which hindered our ability to see the gardens and grounds at Monticello. I would definitely recommend this tour; the drive to Charlottesville was beautiful, and the stop at the Michie Tavern was VERY fun and interesting, and the food was delicious and plentiful! Everyone was very friendly and informative. I would very much suggest this to anyone who has a little extra time to travel. Visiting the University of Virginia was also very interesting.

Great trip; however, there was not much time left to view the grounds after viewing the house. Michie Tavern had good food, and the house was interesting. I think what could be eliminated was the stop at the university. We would have enjoyed more time at Monticello to view the grounds had we not stopped there.

The bus ride was timely and comfortable. The lunch was great! Bus driver friendly. But our visit to the final destination was rushed. I would have liked to have spent just a little more time walking the premises.

We thought the tours through Monticello were very interesting, but there were too many people at a time in a group. The Michie Tavern food and tour were great.

The driver got lost and drove around for almost two hours. Doing this we ended up only having about two hours to spend at Monticello. Also we were suppose to visit the University of Virginia as part of this tour, that was eliminated from the trip completely.

The tour guide was helpful. I think that stopping longer at Michies Tavern would be good. We didn't like the tour of the tavern and wished to shop longer.

No complaints about the bus or the traveling experience overall. But my friend and I were annoyed by a stop at the University of Virginia and a 2 hour lunch break that left us only 90 minutes to spend at Monticello. (Don't get me wrong - the lunch was delicious - but two hours?)
