Guidelines for Signature Tours
Please plan to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled tour time.
Please remember that because Signature Tours include the third floor of Monticello, they are not handicapped-accessible and are not recommended for children under 12 or individuals who may have difficultly climbing flights of stairs.
Also, for safety reasons, women should not wear high heels.
Please come prepared for inclement weather. While most of the tour is indoors, there is an outdoor component and there are no rain dates for the Signature Tours.
Reservations and tickets are valid only on the date specified. There will be no refunds unless the tour is canceled by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation.
