Patricia Abbitt was our tour guide to Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson. She is an entertaining and informative presenter of the home and the historic artifacts from Thomas Jefferson's home. She is animated and lively and thoroughly enjoyable. No wonder this site is so well visited with excellent tours provided! We loved it and cannot say enough good things about the things we learned and the things we saw. Definitely go see!!!

The food wasn’t that great, or that special.but I really like sitting outside, and the price felt fair too, for being so touristy.

Floored they charged 42 per person, I offered to sit in the car and read a book, but My husband was really excited to go. Now I am not american, so the letter of independence doesn't mean a whole lot to me. We went in January, and I am sure the grounds are breath taking in the summer, and I would recommend a walk through the gardens, just not the 42 for the house tour. We took the shuttle to the house, where they heard you in a corner until everyone arrives, Then the guide takes you through the house. We spent more time being herded than the tour. Would have been nicer if you could stroll through the house on your own and read plaques with the same info. Instead of waiting 5 mins to heard the group into each room for 3 sentences of information. Our guide was very kind, and really wanted you to be engaged, but unnecessary.

Typical food from a tourist area. They ran out of a few hot cooked items when I went, so I had to resort to the dry, prepared sandwiches. The outside area of the restaurant has a nice ambience, and the service behind the cash register was nice and polite.

Self-service cafeteria line. Food was very good! Inside was a little small, and crowded for a weekday.

Not amazing but not as meh as it could've been, and the prices are reasonable.

Overpriced tourist food- only redeeming quality was there were OK Gluten-free options. I could actually order something reasonable.

Hit the spot after walking several hours. Prices were much better than we expected and some of the choices were a reflection of Jefferson's travels.
Discovered new food and drinks that we both loved! Service was great. Prices were reasonable. Weather was great enough to sit outside.
